Plastic Rainwater Tanks

Black and Dark Green Tanks for Rainwater

A plastic rainwater tank is a polyethylene tank that stores roof runoff for irrigation, landscaping and backup water. Choose a black or dark green tank: an opaque wall keeps sunlight out, and without light, algae can't grow in the stored water. Norwesco water tanks come in black, green or dark green, Chem-Tainer water tanks in green or black, and Enduraplas water tanks in black.

To size a tank, estimate how much your roof sheds in a typical storm with our Rainwater Harvesting Calculator, then pick a tank that holds that amount. If one large tank won't fit, two smaller tanks joined at their bottom outlets give the same storage in a tighter space. Set the tank on a level base, screen the inlet to keep out leaves and mosquitoes, and send the overflow away from your foundation.
