Let’s be honest – if 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that South Africans are nothing if not resourceful. We’ve mastered the art of load shedding survival, learnt to cook a three-course meal during a Stage 6 outage, and can predict upcoming water restrictions better than the weather forecast. But when it comes to being truly water-wise, there’s one household hero that deserves a standing ovation: the good oldwater tank.
What exactly is a water tank?
Think of it as a stylish green superhero for your backyard. A big, friendly water-saving cylinder that collects and stores rainwater. In simple terms: it’s your personal reservoir that stands ready when the taps go dry (which, let’s face it, happens more often than we’d like).
Why every home should have one
1.It saves water – and your conscience.
Every drop that hits your roof can be stored for watering the garden, washing the car, or even flushing the loo. That’s right – guilt-free greenery and sparkling bakkies without using a single drop of municipal water. Mother Nature approves.
2.It saves money – like, a lot.
With water tariffs climbing faster than a cat up a tree during bath time, a water tank quickly pays for itself. Less municipal water = lower bills = more budget for coffee, wine, or solar panels.
3.It’s eco-friendly and proudly South African.
Water tanks are built locally to last – UV-resistant, tough as nails, and available in colours to match your home aesthetic (yes, water conservation can look good).
4.It’s the ultimate “no-brainer” investment.
Simple to install, low maintenance, and always on standby, your tank is the silent partner in your sustainability journey. It doesn’t complain, doesn’t need Wi-Fi, and it’s always there when you need it most.

Pair your water tank with a Spritza borehole system, and you’ve basically created your own private water network. Rain, borehole, storage – done.
So if you’re still thinking a tank is optional – it’s time for a rethink. In a world of rising costs and unpredictable supply, it’s the smartest, sassiest, most water-wise decision you can make.
Save water. Save money. Save your sanity.
