Above-ground water tank Aquatower 3000 liters
Are you looking for an effective and elegant way to collect rainwater in your garden? The dedicated Above-ground water tank Aquatower 3000 liters is a modern vertical water column tank with a capacity of 3000 l, manufactured in Europe from premium high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Utilizing rotational molding (rotomolding) technology, the tank body is constructed as a single seamless monolith. This guarantees 100% leak-proof durability for decades. Its minimal vertical footprint requires very little space along the house façade, blending seamlessly with modern home designs.
The high-strength HDPE material is fully resistant to harsh weather, physical impacts, and intense UV exposure. The UV-stabilization blocks sunlight from entering the tank, preventing water spoilage and algae growth inside. The Aquatower is equipped with factory-integrated brass threads for easy installation of a water tap to fill watering cans, and a lower drain outlet for winter emptying. This is an eco-friendly and cost-effective system that helps cut domestic water consumption for garden care by up to 50%.

Expert opinion – Efficient rainwater harvesting
As a water management specialist at Sorfan.com, I highly recommend the Aquatower series. Rainwater is naturally soft, free from chlorine and lime, making it the healthiest water for plants. The model with a capacity of 3000 l combines ample storage with premium aesthetics. Symmetrical rotations-molded HDPE prevents leaks and structural aging from UV rays. Remember to completely drain the above-ground tank in autumn, as expanding freezing ice can crack the tap valves.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Do Aquatower tanks need to be drained for winter?
Yes, above-ground garden tanks must be completely drained before freezing temperatures set in. The tap should be left open to prevent ice from cracking the valve fitting.
How do I connect the Wassertank to my downpipe?
You connect it using a downpipe rainwater diverter. It filters leaves and diverts clean water into the tank, acting as a automatic overflow when full.
Is the stored water safe for growing vegetables?
Yes, the food-grade HDPE polymer is 100% non-toxic and chemically inert. The harvested rainwater is ideal for watering edible crops and fruits.
Can the Wassertank stand in direct sunlight?
Yes, it contains active UV stabilizers that protect the plastic from sun degradation. The light-proof body blocks sun rays, preventing algae growth.
What type of tap fits the tank thread?
The Wassertank features standard 3/4-inch brass female threads, compatible with most common brass garden taps and quick couplers.
What material is the Wassertank made of?
It is manufactured in the EU from virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using a seamless rotational molding process, guaranteeing lifetime watertightness.
