RAINWATER

Flexible Water Bladder Tank for Rainwater Harvesting

A flexible PVC water bladder tank is a collapsible, non-potable rainwater store — a 5,000–50,000 L pillow tank that captures and holds rainwater for irrigation and site use, without a rigid tank or concrete base.

Recommended capacities

Capacities that suit rainwater harvesting best

Two sizes suit most rainwater harvesting: a compact tank for a small roof catchment, and a mid-size tank for larger roofs and longer dry spells. Both are the same non-potable PVC bladder, in different sizes.

How it works

How rainwater harvesting works with a bladder

Rainwater runs from the roof or catchment through a downpipe into the bladder, where it is stored until it is needed. The tank sits on level ground close to the point of use, and water is drawn off through the outlet valve to feed irrigation or site use.

Roof catchment

Collect rainwater from a roof or other catchment and feed it to the tank.

Level ground

Sit the tank on level ground with a sand bed or ground sheet under it.

Draw-off valve

Take water from the outlet valve when it is needed.

Non-potable use only

Rainwater in a PVC bladder is non-potable

Rainwater stored in a PVC bladder is non-potable water. It is for irrigation and site use — not for drinking, and not food grade. Size the tank to the roof catchment and the dry period between rains.

Irrigation

Stored rainwater feeds drip lines and farm watering.

Site use

Water for construction site use and dust control.

Not drinking water

Rainwater in a PVC bladder is non-potable — it is not drinking water.
