Aqua-Barrel® TankForm and function come together in the Aqua-Barrel Tank. A strong, modern tank with a slim design and stylish rounded curves. Designed to sit closely against an existing wall, the slim 560mm width makes it ideal for installation under eaves and other narrow spaces. Available in a choice of colours, the Aqua-Barrel Tank will blend seamlessly with your outdoor environment.
The Aqua-Barrel Tank is manufactured from Aquaplate® steel to ensure your water tastes clean and fresh. The inside surface of Aquaplate steel is coated with a food grade polymer skin that not only provides clear, healthy rainwater, but has a very long, useable life.
The Aqua-Barrel Tank range has four sizes to choose from; a Low Profile 500 Litre Tank, a Low Profile 1000 Litre Tank, a
1000 Litre Tank, and a 2000 Litre Tank. Aqua-Barrel Tanks have internal bracing for added strength and are supplied with a 3/4”
outlet and tap. A 300mm diameter mosquito proof inlet is fitted which doubles as an inspection point when removed.
Optional extras include a different sized outlet, and either a standard or a heavy-duty tank stand. The stands are 500mm high, engineered
for strength and made from galvanised iron. The heavy-duty tank stands have rounded ends to match the shape of your tank. Optional
adjustable feet kits are available with your stand, to provide a stable footing on uneven ground.

Classic™ TankEmbodying the traditional character of a round corrugated tank, the Stratco Classic Tank has a timeless style that will compliment both traditional architecture and modern homes. With 27 different sizes available, ranging from 450 litres to a giant 13,500 litre design, there is a Classic Tank for every application, from rural use to inner city living.
With either an un-painted galvanised finish, or a full spectrum of painted colours to choose from, a Stratco Classic Tank will compliment any outdoor environment. The Classic Tank is available with either a flat or conical top. The conical top is not only aesthetically pleasing, but on larger tank sizes it ensures water doesn’t pond on top of the tank and reduces surface dust and dirt build-up. All Stratco Classic Tanks are supplied with a 3/4” outlet and tap, an inbuilt filter, and have a 300mm diameter inspection point with a cover.
Classic Tanks can be placed on a contained sand bed, concrete slab, or concrete pavers. Alternatively you can order a galvanised steel tank stand with hardwood decking slats. Other options include a different sized outlet and tap, and a factory fitted flushing plug.

Harvesting RainwaterRainwater is a valuable natural resource that can be collected as an environmentally
responsible way to provide real cost savings to any home or business. Homeowners and urban planning authorities are recognising the benefits of rainwater collection
with new legislation being introduced in many areas.
A rainwater tank can save up to 100,000 litres of water a year in an average home. Collected rainwater can be used to water the garden, wash the car, or as drinking water.
With additional plumbing and a pump, a tank can be used to flush the toilet, fill a washing machine, fill a water heater or be used through a cold water tap.
Pumps and AccessoriesGet the full potential out of your rainwater tank with a complete range of pumps and accessories from Stratco. A wide range of
pumps are available. The pump you choose will depend on the tank size, the requirements of the appliance that will feed from the tank, and the diameter of the plumbing pipes and the pressure required.
If you choose to run your appliances solely from tank water, you may need a top-up facility to fill part of the tank with mains water when the rainwater gets low. When connecting to mains water, a backflow prevention device is needed to prevent the reverse flow
of polluted water from contaminating drinking water. Some pumps have backflow and top-up devices built into their design. Stratco can supply separate top-up devices, backflow prevention devices and any pipes and fittings needed to complete the system.
Talk to Stratco when making a decision about what tank, pumps and accessories are required for the application. When installing a rainwater tank, never attempt to install a tank to mains water without a qualified plumber.
MaintenanceWhile the inlet filter provided with your tank will stop contaminants entering the tank, it is also important to ensure the runoff area to the tank is free of debris. Clean the gutters every two months, or more regularly if trees overhang the roof. Remove any sludge from inside the tank when necessary. Do not scrub or scratch the interior surface of the tank as it has a protective coating covering the walls.
Stratco tanks are produced from the highest quality materials and will provide many years of service if the important recommendations set out in the Stratco ‘Selection, Use and Maintenance’ brochure are followed.
