What an elegant tank! And its curved wall-to-base joint that should reduce the peak stress at that point. The conical lid (lift-on?) adds to the appearance. This is necessarily a high tank. For low (i.e. 3/4 submerged) tanks the potential as 'garden furniture' or seating in the compound is even greater. A 30cm high square surround wall, with gravel or flowerbed infill and cement-tile capping, looks good, too. - T | ||

Hi P, Great calabash indeed. Would that be a kind of mosquito net above the tank to sieve water. How large is the collection surface? Please send some photos that can show how the water is harvested. Kind regards, - E | ||

Hi Elias, Thank you for your reaction. You do not need to filter rainwater, just cover the manhole with a piece of textile. The blue sheet is plastic, about 2x3m. Enough, because 2 meter rainfall in Guinea Bissau. Much more information you find in the PDF Manual at the website (see right). Kind regards, - P |
