Collapsible water butt - dismantles when empty for much easier seasonal storage.
Rainwater collection - store rainfall during wetter periods ready for use when conditions become drier.
Space-saving alternative - avoids permanently dedicating space to a bulky rigid water tank.
Flexible cylindrical construction - supported by vertical poles when assembled for use.
Integrated lower outlet - provides convenient access to the stored water.
Covered top - helps reduce larger debris entering directly from above.
External level markings - provide a quick visual indication of the approximate amount of water stored.
Ideal for seasonal use - set up during periods of higher water demand and pack away when no longer required.
Versatile capacity - suitable for gardens, allotments, container growing and other planted areas.

Practical 225L rainwater storage

A 225 litre water butt provides enough capacity to build up a useful reserve during periods of rainfall while remaining suitable for gardens where a very large tank would be unnecessary.

Stored rainwater can be used for suitable watering applications around beds, borders, pots, planters and other planted areas. During warmer weather, having a reserve available can be particularly useful when plants require more frequent watering.

The 225L size is a versatile middle-ground option for customers who have outgrown a small water butt but do not need the capacity or footprint of a 400L or 750L tank.

Ideal for gardens, allotments & container growing

Gardens	Collect rainwater for watering beds, borders and other planted areas during drier periods.
Allotments	Build up an additional water reserve for crops and plants throughout the growing season.
Pots & planters	Provides stored water for regular watering of container-grown plants.
Growing areas	Useful supplementary water storage for routine plant care and compatible watering equipment.
Seasonal use	Suitable where additional water storage is useful during the growing season but a permanent rigid tank is not wanted.

Collapsible alternative to a rigid water butt

One of the key advantages of the Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel is that it does not have to occupy its full footprint throughout the year. A traditional rigid water butt remains the same size whether it is full, empty or no longer required.

The Pipeline design uses a flexible tank body with vertical supports to create its cylindrical shape during use. Once empty, the structure can be dismantled and the flexible body packed down for more convenient storage.

This makes it particularly useful for seasonal growing areas, allotments and gardens where available space changes throughout the year.

Collect rainwater for garden use

Rainwater collected from suitable roof and guttering systems can provide a useful supplementary source of water for the garden. Rather than allowing all rainfall to flow directly into the drainage system, a suitable rainwater collection arrangement can divert it into the Pipeline tank.

The 225 litre capacity allows a worthwhile quantity of water to be stored during wet weather and retained ready for the next dry period.

For customers watering numerous containers, beds or productive growing areas, this additional reserve can make routine garden watering more convenient.

Setting up the Pipeline 225L Flexible Rain Barrel

Position the tank on a firm, stable and level surface before filling. Clear the installation area of sharp stones, protrusions and other objects that could damage the flexible base.

Assemble the tank and vertical support structure according to the supplied instructions. If collecting water from roof guttering, use a suitable rainwater diverter or collection arrangement for the individual downpipe system.

Select the final location before filling. A full 225 litre tank contains a considerable weight of water, so it should be drained before being repositioned or dismantled.

Convenient access to stored water

The Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel features an integrated outlet towards the bottom of the tank, allowing collected water to be accessed conveniently when required.

This arrangement is useful for transferring water for garden use without repeatedly opening the tank from the top. Stored water can then be used with suitable watering equipment depending on the individual setup.

External graduated markings also provide a quick visual reference for monitoring the approximate amount of water remaining in the tank.

Seasonal care & storage

Keep the rain barrel and any connected collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically check the inlet and lower outlet to help maintain reliable water flow.

When the tank is no longer required, drain the remaining water and allow the flexible body to dry before dismantling it. Store the tank and support components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.

Because the tank packs down when empty, it is particularly convenient where storage space is limited during the quieter months of the year.

£82.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Pipeline Flexible Tank 1000L is the largest capacity model in the Pipeline flexible water storage range, providing a substantial 1,000 litres of collapsible rainwater storage for larger gardens, allotments and growing areas. Its flexible cylindrical design provides serious water-storage capacity while retaining the ability to be drained, dismantled and stored far more compactly than an equivalent rigid tank.

With a full cubic metre of water capacity, the 1000L model is designed for customers who want to collect a meaningful quantity of rainfall rather than relying on a small garden water butt. It is particularly useful for larger planted areas, productive gardens and allotments where watering requirements can increase considerably during warm and dry weather.

Despite its large capacity, the Pipeline design remains flexible and seasonal. Vertical supports hold the tank in its cylindrical form during use, while the flexible body can be packed down once the tank has been completely emptied.

Why choose the Pipeline 1000L Flexible Tank?

Massive 1,000 litre capacity - the largest Pipeline flexible tank for substantial rainwater storage.
Ideal for higher water demand - particularly useful for larger gardens, allotments and productive growing areas.
Collapsible construction - offers large-capacity storage without committing permanently to a rigid 1,000L tank.
Rainwater collection - build up a substantial reserve during periods of rainfall for later garden use.

1,000 litres of rainwater storage

The 1000L Pipeline Flexible Tank provides one cubic metre of water storage capacity. That makes it a considerably more substantial rainwater collection solution than a conventional small garden water butt.

For larger gardens and growing areas, additional capacity can be particularly valuable. Pots, planters, beds, borders and productive crops can require significant quantities of water during extended dry periods, making a larger stored reserve much more practical than repeatedly relying on a small-capacity tank.

The 1000L is the largest variant in the Pipeline flexible tank range and is the natural choice where maximum storage capacity is the priority.

Designed for larger gardens & growing areas

Large gardens	Build up a substantial rainwater reserve for beds, borders, containers and other planted areas.
Allotments	High-capacity storage for productive growing areas where regular watering can create significant demand.
Fruit & vegetable growing	Provides a useful stored reserve for suitable watering of productive crops during drier conditions.
Container growing	Particularly useful where large numbers of pots and planters require regular watering.
Seasonal growing areas	Provides substantial water storage during the main growing season while retaining the ability to be dismantled when empty.

Large capacity without a permanent rigid tank

A rigid 1,000 litre water tank requires a significant permanent footprint. Even when empty, its physical size remains unchanged. The Pipeline Flexible Tank provides a different approach, combining high storage capacity with a structure that can be dismantled once it is no longer required.

When assembled, the flexible body is supported vertically to create the cylindrical tank. Once completely drained, the structure can be taken down and the flexible components stored much more compactly than an equivalent rigid tank.

This makes the 1000L model particularly attractive for seasonal growing areas and sites where maximum water storage is useful during spring and summer but a large permanent tank would be inconvenient during the rest of the year.

High-capacity rainwater collection

Rainfall from suitable roof and guttering systems can be diverted into the Pipeline Flexible Tank using an appropriate rainwater collection arrangement. Rather than allowing all available rainfall to immediately enter the drainage system, the 1000L tank provides the capacity to retain a substantial quantity for later garden use.

The large capacity is particularly beneficial where a sizeable roof collection area is available. During sustained rainfall, smaller water butts can fill quickly, whereas the 1000L tank provides considerably more room to capture and retain incoming water.

Stored rainwater can then provide a useful supplementary supply for suitable garden watering applications when rainfall becomes less frequent.

Installing the Pipeline 1000L Flexible Tank

The 1000L model must be positioned on a firm, stable and level surface capable of supporting the tank when full. The installation area should be checked carefully and cleared of sharp stones, protrusions or other objects that could damage the flexible base.

Assemble the flexible tank and its supporting structure in accordance with the supplied instructions. If collecting rainwater from guttering, use a suitable rainwater collection or diverter arrangement appropriate to the individual installation.

The final position should be chosen before filling begins. 1,000 litres of water weighs approximately one tonne, excluding the weight of the tank itself, so a filled tank must be treated as a substantial stationary load and should never be moved while containing water.

Convenient access to stored water

An integrated outlet towards the bottom of the tank provides convenient access to the collected water without requiring repeated access through the top of the tank.

Water can be drawn off for suitable garden watering applications or transferred for use with compatible watering equipment, depending on the individual installation.

External graduated markings provide a useful visual indication of the approximate water level, making it easier to monitor the remaining reserve.

Care & seasonal storage

Keep the tank and any connected rainwater collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically inspect the inlet and outlet to help maintain reliable water flow.

If the tank is being taken out of service, drain it completely before dismantling. Allow the flexible body to dry before packing it away and store the components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.

The ability to dismantle the tank when empty is a significant advantage of the Pipeline design, particularly at this 1,000 litre capacity where an equivalent rigid tank would require substantial permanent storage space.

750 litres of flexible water storage

Water demand can increase considerably during warm, dry weather, particularly in larger gardens and growing areas. A 750 litre storage capacity provides a substantial reserve that can be collected during wetter periods and used when rainfall becomes less frequent.

Compared with smaller domestic water butts, the additional capacity means considerably more water can be retained before the tank reaches capacity. It also provides a larger reserve for periods when beds, borders, containers and crops require regular watering.

This makes the Pipeline 750L particularly useful for allotments, larger gardens, nurseries and other growing areas where water consumption can be significant during the main growing season.

Ideal for gardens, allotments & growing areas

Gardens	Build up a substantial reserve of rainwater for watering beds, borders, containers and other planted areas.
Allotments	Useful for increasing available water storage where regular access to a convenient water supply may be limited.
Nurseries	Provides supplementary water storage for plant production and general watering requirements.
Growing areas	Store collected water ready for use with suitable watering and irrigation equipment.
Seasonal storage	Ideal where additional water capacity is required during the growing season but a permanent rigid tank is not wanted.

A collapsible alternative to a rigid water butt

Large rigid water butts and tanks take up the same amount of space whether they are full, empty or out of use. The Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel offers a more adaptable solution.

Its flexible body is supported by a series of vertical poles when assembled. This creates the cylindrical structure required for water storage without relying on a permanently rigid tank body.

Once the tank is no longer required, it can be emptied and dismantled. The flexible construction then takes up considerably less space, making storage and transport much easier than with a conventional 750 litre rigid tank.

Make better use of collected rainwater

Rain falling onto roofs and other suitable collection surfaces can provide a valuable source of water for the garden. Instead of allowing all of this rainfall to disappear into the drainage system, a suitable collection arrangement can divert water into the Pipeline tank for later use.

Increasing storage capacity is particularly useful during periods of changeable weather. A larger tank can collect more water during wet spells, creating a reserve ready for the next dry period.

Stored rainwater can then be used for suitable garden watering and irrigation applications, helping reduce the amount of mains water required for routine plant care.

Setting up the Pipeline 750L Flexible Rain Barrel

Choose the tank position carefully before assembly and filling. A 750 litre tank holds a substantial volume of water, so it should be positioned on a firm, stable and level surface.

Clear the installation area of sharp stones, protruding objects and other debris that could damage the flexible base. Assemble the tank and supporting structure according to the supplied instructions before introducing water.

If rainwater is being collected from guttering, use a suitable rainwater collection or diverter arrangement to direct water from the downpipe towards the tank. The exact connection method will depend on the guttering and collection system being used.

Always position the tank before filling. If it needs to be moved to another location, drain it first rather than attempting to move the tank while it contains water.

Convenient access to stored water

An outlet positioned towards the bottom of the tank provides convenient access to the stored water. This makes it easier to draw water from the tank without repeatedly opening the top.

Depending on the watering setup being used, stored water can be transferred into watering cans or used with compatible watering and irrigation equipment.

External level markings provide a useful visual indication of the amount of water remaining, helping users monitor their available water reserve throughout the growing season.

Seasonal care & storage

Keep the tank and rainwater collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris during use. Periodically checking guttering, collection points and the tank outlet can help maintain reliable water flow.

When the tank is no longer required, drain the remaining water and allow the tank to dry before dismantling it. Once packed down, store the flexible tank and its components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.

The ability to dismantle the tank is particularly useful for seasonal growing areas, allotments and gardens where equipment is packed away or reorganised during the quieter months.

When assembled, vertical supports hold the flexible body in its cylindrical shape. Once the tank is no longer required, it can be drained and dismantled so that the components take up considerably less storage space.

This combination of compact capacity and collapsible construction makes the 50L model particularly useful for smaller gardens and seasonal growing areas.

Collect rainwater for garden watering

Rainfall collected from a suitable roof and guttering system can be stored rather than simply being directed away through the drains. A suitable rainwater collection or diverter arrangement can be used to feed collected water into the Pipeline tank.

The stored water can then provide a useful reserve for garden watering, particularly for pots, planters, beds and borders during periods between rainfall.

For customers with limited outdoor space, the 50L model provides an accessible way to introduce rainwater collection without installing a much larger tank.

Setting up the Pipeline 50L Flexible Rain Barrel

Position the tank on a firm, stable and level surface before filling. Check the installation area and remove sharp stones, protrusions or other objects that could potentially damage the flexible base.

Assemble the supporting structure and flexible tank according to the supplied instructions. If the tank is being filled from guttering, use a suitable collection arrangement to direct rainwater into the tank.

Choose the final position before filling. Although 50 litres is considerably smaller than the largest Pipeline tanks, the water still adds significant weight, so the tank should be emptied before being moved or dismantled.

Easy access to stored water

The Pipeline 50L Flexible Rain Barrel features an integrated outlet towards the bottom of the tank, allowing stored water to be drawn off conveniently when required.

This is useful when filling watering cans or transferring collected water for use around the garden. The outlet also avoids the need to repeatedly access the tank from the top.

External level markings provide a simple visual reference for checking how much water remains in the tank.

Seasonal care & storage

Keep the tank and any connected rainwater collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically check the inlet and outlet to ensure water can move freely.

Seasonal use	A practical option where additional water storage is required during the growing season but not throughout the entire year.

Collapsible alternative to a rigid 400L water butt

A conventional rigid water butt occupies the same amount of space whether it is full or completely empty. The Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel offers a more adaptable approach to garden water storage.

The flexible tank body is supported by vertical poles during use, creating a stable cylindrical storage structure. Once empty, the tank can be dismantled so that it occupies considerably less space than an equivalent rigid water tank.

This makes the 400L model particularly useful where water-storage requirements change throughout the year or where garden equipment needs to be packed away between seasons.

Collect rainwater for garden watering

Rain falling onto suitable roof surfaces can provide a valuable source of water for gardens and growing areas. Rather than allowing all of this rainfall to flow directly into the drainage system, a suitable rainwater collection arrangement can divert water into the Pipeline tank for later use.

A 400 litre capacity provides enough storage to make good use of wetter periods. The collected water can then be used for suitable garden watering applications when rainfall becomes less frequent.

This is particularly useful during spring and summer, when plant growth and warmer conditions can substantially increase watering requirements.

Setting up the Pipeline 400L Flexible Rain Barrel

Position the rain barrel on a firm, stable and level surface before filling. Check the ground carefully and remove sharp stones, protrusions and other objects that could damage the flexible base.

Assemble the flexible tank and supporting structure according to the supplied instructions. If collecting water from guttering, use a suitable rainwater diverter or collection arrangement to direct rainfall from the downpipe towards the tank.

Choose the installation position before adding water. A full 400 litre tank contains a substantial weight of water and should be emptied before attempting to move or dismantle it.

Convenient access to stored water

An integrated outlet towards the bottom of the Pipeline tank provides convenient access to the stored water. This makes it easier to draw water when required without repeatedly accessing the tank from the top.

Water can be transferred for use around the garden or with suitable watering and irrigation equipment, depending on the individual setup.

External level markings provide a useful visual reference for monitoring how much water remains available inside the tank.

Seasonal care & storage

Keep the rain barrel and any connected collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically checking the water inlet and outlet will help maintain reliable operation throughout the season.

When the tank is no longer required, drain the remaining water and allow the flexible body to dry before dismantling it. Store the tank and its supporting components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.

The ability to pack the tank down is particularly useful for allotments, seasonal growing spaces and gardens where a permanent large water butt is not required.

Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel 25L - Compact Collapsible Water Butt & Rainwater Storage Tank

£13.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel 25L is a compact collapsible water butt designed for collecting and storing rainwater where available space is limited. Combining a useful 25 litre capacity with a flexible, space-saving construction and integrated lower outlet, it is ideal for smaller gardens, patios, balconies, container growing and other compact outdoor spaces.

Not every garden needs a large water butt. For customers with a smaller collection area or only a handful of plants to water, the Pipeline 25L provides a convenient way to collect and store rainwater without installing a bulky rigid tank.

The flexible cylindrical tank is supported by vertical poles when assembled. When additional water storage is no longer required, it can be emptied, dismantled and packed away, making it particularly convenient for seasonal use or locations where outdoor storage space is at a premium.

Why choose the Pipeline 25L Flexible Rain Barrel?

Compact 25 litre capacity - ideal where only a smaller reserve of collected rainwater is required.
Space-saving water storage - well suited to smaller gardens, patios and compact growing areas.
Collapsible construction - dismantles when empty for convenient transport and seasonal storage.
Collect & store rainwater - create a useful reserve for watering plants between periods of rainfall.
Flexible cylindrical tank - provides practical water storage without a permanently rigid body.
Vertical support structure - support poles help maintain the tank's shape when assembled.
Integrated lower outlet - provides convenient access to stored water.
Covered top - helps reduce larger debris entering the tank directly from above.
External level markings - make it easier to monitor the approximate quantity of water stored.
Ideal for seasonal use - set it up when required and pack it away when additional water storage is no longer needed.

Compact 25L rainwater storage

The 25 litre model is a particularly compact option in the Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel range. Its smaller capacity makes it a practical choice for customers who want the benefits of rainwater collection but do not have the space or requirement for a conventional large water butt.

Collected rainwater can provide a useful supplementary supply for watering pots, planters, hanging baskets and other container-grown plants. The tank can gradually collect water during wet weather, providing a reserve ready for use when conditions become drier.

Its compact format also makes the 25L tank easier to accommodate close to the plants or growing area where the stored water will be used.

Ideal for smaller gardens & container growing

Small gardens	Provides useful rainwater storage without requiring the footprint of a conventional large water butt.
Patios	A compact solution for storing water close to pots, planters and container displays.
Container plants	Store collected rainwater ready for routine watering of pots and other container-grown plants.
Small growing areas	Useful where only a modest reserve of water is required for regular plant care.
Seasonal use	The collapsible design is particularly useful where the tank needs to be packed away when not required.

A compact alternative to a rigid water butt

Conventional rigid water butts permanently occupy their full footprint, even when they are completely empty. The Pipeline Flexible Rain Barrel provides a more adaptable approach to small-scale rainwater storage.

Vertical supports hold the flexible body in its cylindrical shape during use. Once the tank is empty, the structure can be dismantled and the flexible body packed away, taking up considerably less storage space than a rigid tank.

This makes the 25L model particularly useful for seasonal growing, smaller outdoor spaces and customers who want water storage that does not have to remain permanently installed.

Collect rainwater for plant watering

Rainwater collected from a suitable roof and guttering arrangement can be stored for later garden use rather than immediately entering the drainage system. A suitable collection or diverter arrangement can be used to direct rainwater towards the Pipeline tank.

For smaller gardens and container displays, even a relatively compact reserve can be useful between periods of rainfall. The 25 litre capacity is particularly appropriate where watering demand is modest or where several smaller storage points are preferred to one large tank.

Setting up the Pipeline 25L Flexible Rain Barrel

Position the tank on a firm, stable and level surface. Check the area before installation and remove sharp stones, protrusions or other objects that could potentially damage the flexible base.

Assemble the supporting structure and flexible tank according to the supplied instructions. If rainwater is being collected from guttering, use a suitable collection arrangement for the individual downpipe and installation.

Choose the tank's position before filling. When repositioning or dismantling the rain barrel, empty the stored water first.

Convenient lower water outlet

An integrated outlet towards the bottom of the tank provides convenient access to the collected water. This allows water to be drawn from the tank without repeatedly opening it from the top.

The compact 25L capacity is particularly convenient for smaller-scale watering jobs, while the external level markings provide a quick visual indication of the amount of water remaining.

Easy seasonal storage

Keep the tank and any connected rainwater collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically checking the inlet and outlet will help maintain reliable water flow.

When the rain barrel is no longer required, empty the remaining water and allow the flexible body to dry before dismantling it. Store the tank and its components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.

Because it can be packed down when empty, the Pipeline 25L is particularly convenient for customers with limited storage space.

Pipeline Flexible Tank 100L - Collapsible Water Butt & Rainwater Storage Tank

£21.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Pipeline Flexible Tank 100L is a compact collapsible water butt designed for collecting and storing rainwater for gardens, allotments and growing areas. With a useful 100 litre capacity, flexible cylindrical construction and integrated lower outlet, it provides convenient water storage without the permanent bulk of a conventional rigid tank.

The 100L model sits neatly between small rain barrels and larger-capacity water storage tanks, making it a practical choice for everyday garden watering. It provides enough capacity to build up a useful reserve during periods of rainfall while remaining relatively compact.

When assembled, vertical supports maintain the shape of the flexible tank. When additional water storage is no longer required, the tank can be emptied and dismantled for easier transport and compact seasonal storage.

Why choose the Pipeline 100L Flexible Tank?

100 litre capacity - a practical size for everyday rainwater collection and garden watering.
Collapsible construction - dismantles when empty for compact storage between periods of use.
Collect & store rainwater - create a useful reserve for watering plants during drier weather.
Space-saving design - an adaptable alternative to a permanently rigid water butt.
Flexible cylindrical tank - supported vertically when assembled to maintain its working shape.
Integrated lower outlet - provides convenient access to the collected water.
Covered top - helps reduce larger debris entering directly from above.
External level markings - provide a useful visual indication of the approximate water level.

Useful 100L rainwater storage capacity

With space for up to 100 litres of water, this Pipeline Flexible Tank provides a useful reserve without requiring the footprint of a much larger water butt.

It is particularly well suited to customers with moderate watering requirements, including gardens with containers, beds, borders and other planted areas. During wetter periods, rainwater can be collected and retained ready for use when natural rainfall becomes less frequent.

For smaller gardens, the 100L capacity offers a useful step up from compact 25L or 50L tanks while remaining easier to accommodate than larger 225L, 400L or 750L storage options.

Ideal for gardens, allotments & growing areas

Garden watering	Collect rainwater for watering beds, borders and other planted areas.
Pots & planters	Keep a convenient reserve available for regular watering of container-grown plants.
Allotments	Provides useful supplementary water storage for crops and other plants.
Growing areas	A practical water-storage point for routine plant care and compatible watering equipment.
Seasonal storage	Suitable where additional water capacity is required during the growing season without installing a permanent rigid tank.

Collapsible alternative to a rigid water butt

A conventional rigid water butt continues to occupy its full footprint even when it is completely empty. The Pipeline Flexible Tank provides a more adaptable approach to garden water storage.

Its flexible cylindrical body is held in shape by vertical supports during use. Once the tank has been drained, it can be dismantled so that it occupies considerably less space when stored.

This makes the 100L tank particularly useful where available outdoor space is limited or where water storage is only required during certain parts of the year.

Collect rainwater for garden use

Rainwater collected from a suitable roof and guttering arrangement can provide a useful supplementary supply for garden watering. A suitable rainwater collection or diverter arrangement can be used to direct rainfall into the Pipeline tank rather than allowing all of it to flow directly into the drainage system.

The stored rainwater can then be drawn upon for suitable watering applications around the garden, helping maintain a convenient reserve between periods of rainfall.

The 100 litre size makes this model particularly useful for customers who want meaningful storage capacity without installing one of the larger tanks in the range.

Setting up the Pipeline 100L Flexible Tank

Position the tank on a firm, stable and level surface before filling. Clear away sharp stones, protrusions and other objects that could potentially damage the flexible base.

Assemble the flexible body and supporting structure according to the supplied instructions. When collecting water from guttering, use a suitable rainwater collection arrangement for the individual installation.

Select the final position before filling the tank. Water is heavy, so the tank should be emptied before attempting to move or dismantle it.

Easy access to collected water

An integrated outlet towards the bottom of the Pipeline Flexible Tank provides convenient access to the stored water when it is needed.

This makes it straightforward to transfer water for garden use without repeatedly accessing the tank from the top. The external graduated markings also provide a quick visual reference for monitoring the approximate amount of water remaining.

Simple seasonal care & storage

Keep the tank and any connected rainwater collection system reasonably clear of leaves and other debris. Periodically check the inlet and outlet to ensure that water can flow freely.

When the tank is no longer required, drain the remaining water and allow the flexible body to dry before dismantling it. Store the tank and its supporting components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.

The collapsible construction makes the Pipeline 100L particularly convenient for seasonal use because it does not need to occupy its full assembled footprint throughout the year.
