Super Slimline Water Tanks: A Comprehensive Guide
Responding to the need for a less conspicuous alternative to a conventional round tank, Rapid Plas is proud to introduce the latest addition to its comprehensive range of slimline tanks for the homeowner and residential building market - the Super Slimline.
Standing 2200mm tall, 1500mm wide, and with a depth of 610mm, the 1500 Litre Super Slimline is carefully engineered to optimise rainwater capacity while minimising its footprint and retaining structural integrity. This design caters to narrow spaces typically found between house exteriors and boundary fences, maximising the available space.
Product Overview: The Rapid Plas Super Slimline tank is meticulously engineered to minimise its physical footprint and increase flexibility for space-constrained homeowners. Constructed with high-quality food-grade polyethylene, these tanks boast durability and resilience, ensuring long-term reliability in diverse environmental conditions.
Functionality is key, with inlets on both sides facilitating flexible installation regardless of orientation. Outlets on either side of the tank and a separate outlet for bucket access, ensure convenient water extraction and seamless integration with pumps.
In addition, the Super Slimline offers the option of joining multiple tanks together. This scalability allows tailored solutions to accommodate diverse water storage needs within limited confines.
Ideal Customer Profile: The ideal customer for a Rapid Plas Super Slimline tank is a homeowner committed to capturing and using a free resource and reducing their reliance on mains water supply. Whether in urban or rural settings, individuals or families seeking to conserve water and lower utility costs can benefit significantly from investing in a Super Slimline tank. Environmentally conscious consumers looking to minimise their carbon footprint will appreciate the eco-friendly design and operation of these tanks.
Typical Installation Process: Installing a Rapid Plas Super Slimline tank in an urban setting requires careful planning and adherence to local regulations. While DIY installation is feasible for standalone structures, such as sheds or outbuildings, integrating the tank into the plumbing system of a residential property requires professional assistance. Key considerations include positioning the tank on a concrete slab for stability, connecting it to gutter downpipes for rainwater collection, and ensuring proper overflow management to prevent water damage.
Sizes and Technical Specifications: Standing at 2200mm tall, 1500mm wide and 610mm deep, the Super Slimline tank fits snugly beneath most eaves and is carefully calibrated for maximum storage capacity within minimal space.
Technical specifications include one-inch BSP outlets for easy connection to pumps or plumbing systems, as well as integrated dust covers and strainers to maintain water quality. Additionally, the tanks are designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor exposure and require minimal maintenance to preserve their functionality.
Warranty and Longevity: Constructed from premium low-density UV-stabilised polyethylene, the Rapid Plas Super Slimline complies with all relevant Australian Standards and is accompanied by Rapid Plas’ reliable and no-fuss 10-year warranty.
Rapid Plas National Marketing Manager, Wayne Doyle, notes, “While the Rapid Plas warranty aligns with industry standards, UV stabilised polyethylene construction offers inherent durability, and, with proper care and maintenance, the lifespan of the tanks can easily extend to 20-years and beyond”
The Rapid Plas Super Slimline tank represents a compelling solution for homeowners seeking to enhance their water conservation efforts and reduce reliance on traditional water sources. With its durable construction, versatile design, and eco-friendly operation, this product showcases innovation in water storage technology.
