£82.00

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.
  • Flexible cylindrical design - vertical supports maintain the tank structure while it is assembled.
  • Integrated lower outlet - provides convenient access to the stored water.
  • Covered top - helps reduce larger debris entering the tank directly from above.
  • External level markings - provide a useful visual reference for monitoring the approximate water level.
  • Seasonal storage - drain and dismantle the tank when additional water capacity is no longer required.
  • High-capacity alternative to rigid tanks - particularly useful where permanent bulky water storage is undesirable.

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.

Pipeline Flexible Tank 1000L FAQs

Is the 1000L Pipeline Tank the largest variant?

Yes. The 1000L model is the largest capacity variant in the Pipeline flexible tank range, designed for customers who want maximum rainwater storage.

How much water does the Pipeline 1000L Tank hold?

It holds up to 1,000 litres, equivalent to one cubic metre of water.

How heavy is 1,000 litres of water?

1,000 litres of water weighs approximately 1,000kg, or one tonne. The tank must therefore be installed on a firm, stable and level surface capable of supporting the load.

Is the 1000L tank collapsible?

Yes. Once completely empty, the flexible tank can be dismantled for considerably more compact storage than an equivalent rigid 1,000 litre water tank.

Can the tank collect rainwater from guttering?

Yes. It can form part of a rainwater collection setup using a suitable diverter or collection arrangement connected to the guttering and downpipe.

Is the 1000L model suitable for an allotment?

Its large capacity makes it particularly useful for allotments and productive growing areas where substantial quantities of stored water may be required during dry periods.

Does the tank have a lower water outlet?

Yes. The tank has an integrated outlet towards its base to provide convenient access to the stored water.

Can the 1000L tank be moved when full?

No. The tank should be completely drained before it is repositioned or dismantled. A full 1000L tank contains approximately one tonne of water.

How should I store the Pipeline 1000L Tank?

Drain the tank completely, allow the flexible body to dry and dismantle the structure. Store the components in a clean, dry location away from sharp objects.
