Product details
About the 5 500 Litre Horizontal Water Storage Tank
This 5,500 litre horizontal water storage tank is made from food-grade virgin LLDPE with a food-grade black inner lining that prevents algae growth and keeps stored water fresher for longer. Its low, horizontal shape and extra polymer thickness make it suited to applications where the tank is transported, as well as fixed storage. It suits domestic, agricultural and commercial users who need a robust, corrosion-resistant water tank.
Key features
- 5,500 litre capacity in a horizontal format
- Food-grade virgin LLDPE, UV-resistant and BPA-free
- Food-grade black inner lining to prevent algae growth
- Corrosion-resistant and lighter than standard steel tanks
- Extra polymer thickness for added support during transport
- 450 mm screw-on lid
Choosing the right one
Horizontal tanks sit lower than vertical tanks of the same capacity, which makes them easier to fit under eaves or carry on a trailer or vehicle. Check the footprint before buying: this tank is 2,545 mm long, 2,090 mm wide and 1,505 mm high. A full tank holds about 5.5 tonnes of water, so it needs a firm, level base or a vehicle and trailer rated for that load, and the tank must be properly secured when moving. This tank is suitable for water (SG 1) only, so do not use it for fuel or chemicals.
