Tank Float

The Tank-Float system draws the rainwater from approximately 300mm below the surface of the tank water. At this point the water is the most ‘aerobic’ or oxygenated area of the tank which is the healthiest, resulting in better tasting and smelling water. The unique patented design of the Tank-Float system allows for installation to a rainwater tank that is either full or empty without having to manually get inside the tank.

 

The Tank-Float system automatically adjusts to the correct suction level of the tank at all times and can be installed to concrete, poly, metal, fibre-glass, poly-lined tanks either above or below ground. Installation is typically completed in less than an hour and has an immediate result of cleaner, clearer, better tasting water.

Particles that enter the rainwater tank each time it rains sink to the tank floor where a thick sludge forms. This sludge layer is made up of decaying leaf, dirt and animal matter which feeds germs and bacteria like Giardia, Salmonella and E-coli. The breakdown of plant and animal material depletes oxygen and creates methane gas which increases taste and odour to the water supply. Traditionally it’s at this point where the rainwater supply is drawn out by the pressure pump and delivered into the home.
