How it works
What size water tank do I need?

A 2500L tank is the most popular choice for a family of four, providing 2-3 days of backup. However, a plumber can help you calculate the ideal size based on your household's specific needs.

Can the backup tank be filled with municipal water?

Yes, this is the standard setup. The system uses a float valve that automatically tops up the tank whenever the municipal supply is on.

What should homeowners know about: what maintenance does a backup system require?

It’s good practice to clean the tank annually to remove any sediment and check that the pump and float switch are working correctly. Minimal maintenance is needed.

Do I absolutely need a pump for my water tank?

Only if you want to use the water inside your house with normal pressure. For garden use, a simple tap fed by gravity from a tank on a stand is often enough. Your installer or technician will confirm the details based on your setup.

Should there specific legal requirements be considered?

Any connection to the municipal line must be done by a licensed plumber and include a backflow prevention device to protect the public water supply, as required by your local municipality. Yes.
