Installing your Tank

A properly installed Rhino Tuff Tank can provide your home with a reliable water supply for years. With the right foundation and setup, you'll be ready to make the most of your investment from day one.

01

Choose the right spot

Choose a level, accessible location close to your main pipes or rainwater collection point.

  • Ensure the ground is firm and stable.
  • Avoid areas prone to flooding or erosion.
  • Allow space for maintenance and inspection.
02

Prepare the base

Safety first. A solid base prevents shifting and damage over time.

  • Use a concrete slab.
  • Make sure the base is larger than the tank diameter.
  • The base must always be a smooth, solid concrete base.
03

Position the tank

Place the tank carefully onto the prepared base.

  • Use proper lifting equipment for larger tanks.
  • Align the outlet with planned plumbing connections.
  • Avoid dragging the tank to prevent scratches.
04

Connect the inlet and outlet

Attach pipes securely to ensure smooth water flow.

  • Connect the inlet pipe to the tank inlet. If used for collecting rainwater, use a leaf guard or filter to help keep debris out.
  • Fit the outlet to household plumbing or garden taps.
  • Seal all joints with approved fittings to prevent leaks.
05

Install The Overflow

An overflow pipe protects your tank and property during heavy rain.

  • Direct overflow away from foundations.
  • Use durable piping to handle large volumes.
  • Position it to avoid water pooling.
06

Check For Stability

Confirm the tank is secure before filling.

  • Inspect the base for cracks or uneven settling.
  • Ensure all fittings are tight.
  • Verify the tank is upright and balanced.
07

Fill And Test

Always follow Rotoplastics Barbados Limited’s warranty guidelines during installation.

  • If in doubt, consult a professional installer to ensure safety and compliance.
  • Regular maintenance, such as cleaning filters and checking seals, will keep your tank performing at its best.
