Water Storage

Water Storage brings capacity to your lawn and garden, helping you capture, store, and deliver water for irrigation and outdoor drainage. From compact rain barrels to large water tanks and underground cisterns, these solutions reduce runoff and keep plants hydrated during dry spells. Choose from durable materials like HDPE polyethylene, galvanized steel, or concrete, sized from 50–100 gallon rain barrels and 275‑gallon IBC totes to 500–5,000 gallon irrigation storage tanks.

A good setup starts with collection. Pair gutter diverters, leaf screens, and first‑flush diverters with sealed lids to keep debris and mosquitoes out. Add bulkhead fittings, spigots, hoses for easy access. Gravity‑fed systems work well for drip irrigation, while pressure pumps with filters and pressure switches deliver consistent flow to sprinklers. Float valves, level indicators, and overflow plumbing direct excess water away from foundations for stormwater management.

Installation is straightforward with the right tools. Prepare a level, compacted base of pavers or concrete; use a hole saw and step bit for ports; seal threads with PTFE tape; glue PVC with primer and cement; and tighten bulkheads with a wrench without over‑torquing. Place tanks in shaded or UV‑resistant locations, secure them against wind, and follow local codes. For underground cisterns, confirm soil conditions, venting, and backfill requirements.

Maintenance keeps water clean and hardware reliable. Rinse tanks seasonally, replace sediment filters, and flush lines. Use opaque or dark tanks to reduce algae, and add screened vents for airflow. Before freezes, drain or insulate lines, use frost‑proof spigots, and protect pumps. For potable water storage, choose food‑grade, BPA‑free containers and sanitize per manufacturer guidance.

Whether you need emergency water storage, a smart rainwater harvesting system, or a simple barrel for garden irrigation, the right combination of tanks, fittings, pumps, and controllers builds resilience, supports sustainability, and keeps landscapes thriving through drought and downpours.
