Services · East London & Eastern Cape
Water tanks, pumps and filtration installed so your home keeps running when the municipal supply doesn't.
Overview
When the water goes off, a tank on its own doesn't help much — you need the tank, the feed, the pump and the filtration working together. We install complete water tank systems for East London homes: rainwater harvested off your existing gutters, stored in a UV-stabilised tank, pushed back into the house by a pressure pump, and cleaned through multi-stage filtration.
An installation service, not a shop. We supply the materials as part of a job we do for you. We don’t sell water tanks or materials over the counter.
Most people call any plastic water tank a “JoJo tank”, and whatever the make, the job that makes it work is the same: a level, properly built base, a clean feed from the gutters, a pump and filters sized to the household, and an overflow that drains away from the house. That installation is what we do — we don’t sell tanks over the counter.
From the tank, a pressure pump feeds the house plumbing. We fit the pump under a purpose-made cover to protect it from sun and rain, and plumb it with isolation valves so the system can be switched or serviced without draining anything.
Most installs start at the roof. We connect a downpipe from your gutters into the tank inlet, so every rain shower refills your backup supply instead of running off into the drain. Where the gutters themselves are undersized or leaking, we sort those out first — a tank is only as good as the water reaching it.
For water you want to use inside the house, we install a wall-mounted filtration stack — typically a 5-micron sediment filter, a carbon block filter and a 1-micron final filter — so harvested rainwater comes out of the tap clear and without the taste and smell of the tank.

Our Approach
We install the whole system — tank, gutter feed, pump, filtration and plumbing — so there's one team responsible for it working, not three contractors blaming each other.
A full tank of water weighs thousands of kilograms. We prepare a level, load-bearing base before the tank goes down, because a tank on soft or uneven ground is the most common way these installs fail.
We also install and repair gutters, so the feed into your tank is sized and sealed properly rather than just trusted.
Your Options
Fed from your roof gutters through a downpipe connection — refills itself every time it rains and cuts your municipal water use.
Filled from the mains and switched in during water interruptions, so the house keeps running through outages.
Delivers usable pressure to taps and showers from the tank, protected under a weatherproof pump cover.
Sediment, carbon block and fine-micron filters in a wall-mounted stack, for clear, better-tasting water from harvested rain.
How We Work
We look at your roof and gutters, where the tank can stand, how it will tie into your plumbing, and how much storage your household actually needs.
A fixed price listing the tank, base, pump, filtration, fittings and labour line by line.
Base prepared, tank placed, gutter feed connected, pump and filters mounted and plumbed in with isolation valves.
We run the system, check for leaks and pressure at the taps, and show you how to switch over and when to change filters.

Common Questions
Yes. We run a downpipe from your gutters into the tank inlet so rain refills the tank automatically. If the gutters are undersized, leaking or falling the wrong way, we'll tell you and can fix them as part of the same job.
Yes, with the right setup. A pressure pump feeds the house plumbing, and a multi-stage filtration stack — sediment, carbon block and fine-micron filters — cleans harvested rainwater before it reaches your taps.
It does. Water is heavy, so a full tank puts serious load on the ground beneath it. The base must be level, solid and slightly larger than the tank. We prepare it before installation because an uneven base can distort and crack a tank over time.
It depends on how many people live in the home, what you want the water for (garden only, or the whole house) and how long you want to be covered during an outage. We work this out with you on the site visit rather than guessing.
Yes. Our installation workmanship carries a warranty, and the tank, pump and filter housings carry their manufacturers' warranties, which we pass on to you at hand-over.
