Water Bladders

WATER BLADDERS

Bladders have been developed which come with all inlet and outlet pipes required for complete installation. They can generally store between 2,000 and 20,000L of water. The sizes and capacity vary according to length and width of the bladders.

The bladders are sealed yet flexible, with an enormously high puncture resistance that is designed to be securely located in the sub-floor space in areas as low as 750 mm in height (without excavation) and without inducing any structural load to the dwelling.

By placing the bladders under a house or deck, they can collect ALL of the rain that falls on the roof by diverting the ALL downpipes to a common in-flow pipe which goes into the side of the bladder. This means that more rainwater can be collected much faster than in a traditional water tank. Once the bladder or bladders are full, any excess water diverts to the existing storm water system so that there is no fear of over-filling.

If space permits, multiple bladder tanks can be installed either end-to-end or side-by side for maximum storage, as demonstrated in the diagram below. Bladders are typically designed to fill to a maximum height of 600mm.
