With climate change and water restrictions a certainty, harvesting rainwater just makes sense. Even though we don’t pay water charges here in Christchurch, at present, that may well change in future.Trouble is, some tanks look plain ugly and or are too large. The range from Designer Tanks is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. We opted for the 4200-litre rain barrel version, which blends in well with our house.Delivery from the North Island was fast and efficient.The hardest part was levelling the grand —we laid pavers. The instructions really are a bit too minimalist and a more detailed booklet would be helpful. The drill bit popped out while drilling through the downpipes — it’s quite heavy gauge metal — and needed extra oomph, as did attaching the screws.It started raining soon after we installed it and worked well but will take quite a bit more to fill. A hint: clear out your gutter!Overall, an excellent product and I recommend it to architects, designers, builders, and homeowners.

Love my new Designer Tank! Detailed specifications, descriptions and accurate photo's shown on the website enabled me to make the right decision on which tank was best for my space without having to visit the showroom. The video was also very handy to show how it worked and how easy it would be to install (and it was easy!).

Excellent range of tanks, and they’ve put together great kits. Mine was easy to install and is working great. The tank stands make it a lot easier to fill buckets etc. Highly recommended.Many uses for rain water, given the lack of hardness/salt. It's less likely to leave spots when washing car. If filtered - its the next best thing to deionized water. Also very low nitrate water for aquarium water changes. The tap can be adjusted to produce a nice wide spray for oxygenating the water as it goes into the bucket.

Great service and prompt responses to my queries regarding the installation of my tank.I did make the mistake of using the hole cutter supplied with the tank to cut the hole for the tap which was a BIG mistake! Ingrid said that normally the installation details are emailed when the tank is dispatched, and these recommend using a smaller hole cutter, but this didn't happen in my case as things were being handled differently during the lockdown, but would be done in the future.

What an awesome addition to our house. Love the way it looks and will save us in water bills for our plants and vege garden. We’re so happy with this we are about to get a second one. Chloe was amazing to deal with, super helpful and really willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had a great experience!

Contacted the team for a rainwater diversion kit for my tank, and they were so helpful, even dropped in the kit while visiting Auckland. I was really happy to go back to order another kit when installing a tank for a friend, could not ask for friendlier or easier service. Love finding people who are a pleasure to deal with.

Very impressed with the staff, they were friendly and helpful. We bought a large pot to collect water off our pergola. Our friends and visitors often ask how we got such a large pot on the property. The material it is made from is very light but it has a realistic concrete look. It is tastefully designed.

I recently purchased the Natura2in1 350l, worked my way through the instructions and got it all set up days before the Cyclone struck. Very pleased to fill the tank very quickly and it all worked beautifully. Ingrid was fantastic to deal with, really responsive and the tank looks right at home sitting in our raised garden bed. My indoor plants are loving the fresh rainwater and the cats too. Deciding on my next tank for the back of the house.

I ordered a tank but when it was delivered to me at Mount Maunganui the handy man who fitted it had no idea what he was doing and didn't even take the stand out of the inside to mount the tank on. He had to come back and refit it but it was never satisfactory and finally leaked badly.I was very impressed and zvery grateful that Ingrid & Chloe came to look at it for me and decided they would replace it at no charge. I would certainly recommend them for going out of their way to give me good service. Brenda McCabe Mount Maunganui

Great tanks with that bit extra over a plain old water tank. Ours looks like a large red pot, making it a feature piece. Company easy to deal with, was able to go to their warehouse and have a look at the range in person, pick out what we liked the look of, then we took it home with us. Have had our tank almost a year now and still looks like new. I highly recommend this company.
