Welcome to Tank Vac, Kapiti.

The TankVak NOW avaliable on the Kapiti Coast.

The Tank Vac is a fantastic system to keep you tank water clean and refreashed. Simple made with no moving parts eays to install.

RAINWATER FACTS

• Earth has all of the water it will ever have;
• New Zealand has on average 1.5 metres of annual rainwater;
• Tank Vac provides a safe, simple, effective, economical, environmentally friendly solution to future water requirements.

BACKGROUND

Of all the water in the world only 3% is fresh and of this less than a third of 1% is available to humans. The remaining water is either frozen within glaciers, polar ice caps or deep within the earth.

Water does not travel to earth from outer space. As water catchments become increasingly polluted by the demands of mankind, populations face many problems caused by both water shortages and poor water quality.

Rain harvesting systems offer a source of pure, soft water which otherwise is often going to waste.

Much of the municipal water has had to be passed through a series of expensive water treatment systems leaving costly, chemically “enhanced” water for consumption.

TANK VAC

The Tank Vac has been developed by Warren Agnew

In many storage systems, whether it be a household tank or a major storage area such as a reservoir,  a build up of sediment, plant material and microscopic life forms occurs, particularly within the lower level of the water within the holding system.

Through the process of decay, there is an oxygen demand which is met from the oxygen in the surrounding water.

This can leave the affected water turbid and lifeless. The sparkle simply goes from the water.

When passed through a pump plant material in the water is ground into fine particles which if not removed within a filter system show in a glass of water as microscopic specks.

Filters are expensive to install, require maintenance and replacement and can cause a significant fall off in water pressure within the home.

At Tank Vac we have developed a unique system that greatly enhances the quality of the stored water.

Our system can be installed into any household tank regardless of size or the water level within the tank. This patented system uses a  pipe on the base of the tank. There are holes within this pipe. This base pipe is linked directly to a surge chamber and from this chamber water rises up the inside of the tank in a pipe that exits the tank at the standard overflow level.

When the water within the tank reaches the overflow level the tank overflows with the water being drawn from the base of the tank.

Thus the contaminated water is removed.

Equally importantly, when a tank is full, the fresh richly oxygenated water that flows in to the tank, is not lost to waste but moves down into the tank to replace the water that will be being discharged through the overflow pipe.

During an extended dry period there is little deterioration in the water quality as the water is carrying no impurities.
