Top tank solution
Water tanks come in all shapes and sizes, often large and unsightly.
Now, thanks to an Auckland company, property owners can install slimline tanks that double as stylish fences. In other words, your tank is your fence. Aptly named FenceTank™, you can create an almost invisible, slimline water reuse system that seamlessly blends into the perimeter of your property.
Especially suitable for small spaces, the tanks are proving popular in developments from single sites to high-density housing. An example is in Auckland’s Hobsonville Point subdivision where residents using the system to collect rainwater say they have saved an average of 56% on their water bills. Product suppliers, WaterSmart say this represents the same amount of water that can be used for potable purposes, such as washing the car, watering the garden, and flushing toilets.
Designed to collect and manage rainwater and stormwater, each slimline tank holds 1000 litres of water, equivalent to four-days water supply for average households.
Manufactured in the Lower North and South Islands, the tanks meet council requirements, are fast and easy to install, and have been approved for use on and within one metre of a boundary or building. Made with Rotathene tank grade plastic, globally recognised as the most appropriate grade for New Zealand’s harsh conditions and UV light, the tanks also comply with design and manufacturing standards in Aotearoa.
