What Size Cistern Tank Do I Need?

Rainwater Collection Tank
Cistern Tank Options and Sizing
How big of a cistern tank would I need for a 1300 square foot home with three bedrooms and two baths. I'm looking for a premade cistern so I can have running water in my home. I already have a dozer operator and will be getting my home pulled onto the lot in less than three weeks.
Greetings! Thanks for contacting the Portable Tank Group. I'd be happy to provide you with information on a cistern tank.
We have collapsible tanks that are used for cisterns quite frequently. The fabrics used in the manufacture of our pond liners, portable tanks and cistern tanks are FDA and NSF 61 compliant for potable water use. The tanks perform well under seismic conditions and are relatively cost effective and easy to use. I would recommend a liner, as well, to protect the tank from abrasion.
Regarding the size, we can make tanks that can store anywhere from 25 gallons to 250,000 gallons! To help you figure out what capacity your cistern tank should be, take a minute and plug your water use information into the water consumption calculator. This can show you an average amount of water you will use in a day, month, and even year.
