Cistern Water Tanks

Rainwater Collection Cistern Tank Selection

Cistern water tanks are used to harvest, store, and reuse rainwater. Great for any business, home, or government building, cistern tanks provide a safe location for storing water until it is needed. Depending on your collection method, cistern water tanks can be constructed with pipes, fittings, or connections that allow the unit to attach to pipes, downspouts, pumps, sprinkler systems, or other utilities.

Cistern Tank Options


Rigid Rainwater Collection Tanks

A rigid rainwater collection tank is a favorite cistern for rainwater collection due to its robust design and protective outer exterior. Available as below ground and above ground cisterns, this rainwater collection system is able to effectively store and protect liquids. Interiors can be constructed with FDA approved resins or cistern liners that can effectively meet the needs of your location. View our Under Deck Rainwater Collection Tank page for more information on how this storage tank is used.

Poly Tanks

plastic water tanksPoly Tanks, also known as Plastic Water Tanks, are a common choice for short term rain water collection and storage. As an economical storage option, polethylene tanks can be placed around homes or businesses to easily collect and store water. Due to their frequent use in outdoor areas, exteriors on these tanks are often made from a darker polyethylene, such as green or black. Darker colors help to limit the amount of light flowing in the tank, which helps to prevent the growth of algae inside the unit.

  • Multiple Sizes and Models
  • FDA Rated Resins
  • Darker Colors for Algae Growth Prevention
