A practical guide from the team at Puranmal Sons & Ceramix Syndicate.
Most homes use both an underground sump and an overhead tank. The underground tank stores a large volume from the mains, and a pump lifts water to the overhead tank, which then supplies the house by gravity.
Overhead tanks give gravity-fed pressure to taps and are easy to install on the roof. Capacity is limited by roof space and load, so they're sized to about a day's use.
Underground (sump) tanks hold larger volumes and buffer against supply cuts, but need a pump to lift water and careful construction to stay clean and watertight.
For reliable supply, combine a larger underground sump with a right-sized overhead tank. Tell us your family size or building details and we'll recommend capacities and supply the tanks.
Share your list or BOQ and we'll call back with pricing and availability, usually the same working day.
