Know before you buy
Yes, the tank is designed to be linkable. Its eight flat surfaces provide dedicated areas to easily connect multiple units together to increase your total storage capacity.
The tank comes equipped with a 16-inch stainless steel mesh screen at the inlet to filter out leaves and debris. Additionally, the overflow assembly is also screened to ensure pests cannot enter the system.
The tank includes two 1-inch bulkhead fittings located at the bottom. These are pre-installed to provide a straightforward, leak-resistant connection point for your spigot or hose attachment.
Yes, it is constructed from high-density polyethylene, which is designed to withstand outdoor elements. However, if you live in an area that experiences hard freezes, you should drain the tank completely during winter to prevent damage from ice expansion.
While the tank is sturdy, it should be placed on a level, solid surface like a concrete pad or a compacted gravel base. Because a full 250-gallon tank weighs over 2,000 pounds, a stable foundation is essential to prevent shifting or tipping.
Absolutely. The eight flat surfaces on the tank are specifically designed to accommodate accessories, making it easy to mount gauges, float switches, or other monitoring equipment.
