The main feature of the Dipping Tank is the storage of rainwater for your house and garden plants. This sustainable source of water is much better for the environment than turning the tap on. A quick dip of your watering can is all that’s needed to get the job done.
To harvest the rainwater you may need to included a diverter kit. This kit will fit the 2 most common sizes of domestic downpipes and can be fitted to either side of the Dipping Tank with minimal fuss. With this diverter kit installed your Dipping Tank will be topped up with the next rain shower. Once full, the diverter will prevent the tank from overflowing by passing the excess rainwater through the down pipe like normal.
What's the middle brace for? This brace has 2 useful features. Firstly, to help the tank keep its striking modern, clean look when full. The second use is for the more experienced gardener - Do you like to water your plants by soaking the soil (capillary action)? Place your potted plants or seed trays on the middle brace and let the soil soak up the rainwater. Perfect for younger delicate plants and house plants.
