1000 Litre Rotoplus Slimline Rainwater Tank

Let's start with what this tank is and how big it really is. It holds 1,000 litres, which equals five to ten ordinary water butts. The slimline shape is tall and narrow, so it fits against a wall or fence. Most tanks like this are made from tough plastic that's built to sit outside all year.

What people use it for

Gardeners are the main buyers, since plants usually grow better on rainwater than tap water. A full tank can keep a vegetable patch and greenhouse going through a dry spell. Allotment holders, smallholders, and small farms use them the same way. Others use the water to wash cars, rinse tools, and clean patios. Some people link a tank to the house to flush toilets, but that needs proper plumbing.

The good points

Rainwater is free, so it cuts your water bill, especially in summer when hoses run most. The slim body takes up far less ground than a round tank of the same size. That matters in a small garden, down a side passage, or beside a shed. It also catches roof water that would otherwise rush straight into the drains.

The honest bits

Roof water is not safe to drink, even when it looks clear. A full tank weighs about one tonne, so it needs a flat, level, firm base. A concrete slab or compacted stone works well, while soft ground lets a tank tilt. Check what comes in the box, because many tanks arrive without a tap, filter, or downpipe kit. Frost can damage a full tank, so keep it part empty in winter. Light feeds algae, so darker tanks and tight lids keep the water fresher. Look over every tank on arrival too, since scuffs and cracks happen in transit.

If you run a shop

Garden centres, builders' merchants, and farm shops sell these steadily. Sales jump in spring and again whenever a hosepipe ban hits the news. Buying through a wholesale distributor usually brings your cost per unit down. You also get straight answers about what's included, what colour it is, and how pallets are loaded. Customers often ask about fittings, so stocking diverters and taps alongside is an easy extra sale. Tanks are light when empty but bulky, so ask about freight before you order.

That's all we do really: tell you what we have, ship it, and let you decide.
