We stock Enduramaxx rainwater harvesting tanks - UK-made, one-piece rotationally moulded polyethylene, UV stabilised for standing outside, and carrying a ten-year manufacturer warranty.

Popular sizes are here in the yard, and the rest of the range comes in on a short lead time. Tanks, filters, fittings and guttering, whatever the job takes.

What a Welsh roof is worth

The roofs are already there and it rains here. A 450m² shed roof collects somewhere around 400,000 litres a year in mid Wales - roughly 36,000 litres a month - and every litre of that washing down a yard or a parlour is a litre you have not pumped or paid for.

On holdings running off a borehole or a spring it does more than save money. It takes the pressure off the source in the dry spell, which is exactly when the source is tightest.

The sums, the sizing and what the water can properly be used for are in our guide to rainwater harvesting on a Welsh farm.

On grants

Enduramaxx build these tanks to suit grant-funded systems. The thing worth knowing early is that the schemes fund a system rather than a tank - typically a minimum tank size, entry filtration, an overflow to a clean water drain and BS 8515 compliance - so we will quote you the whole thing, put together to suit the building.

Rainwater kit comes up as an eligible item in Welsh schemes from time to time, and they run in windows: GOV.WALES rural grants and payments (opens in a new tab) shows what is open.
