Carat S Belowground Rainwater Storage Tanks
The Carat S Belowground Rainwater Storage Tank is a unique plastic rain water storage tank line that is manufactured to consistent, tight tolerances resulting in rain water storage tanks that are of the highest quality, strength, reliability and versatility.
Unlike other below ground plastic water storage tank lines, the Carat S storage tank wall thickness is equal all around and is made from Duralen®, a high-quality food grade polyethylene material that is extremely rigid and impact resistant, therefore ideally suited for producing underground water storage tanks. Carat S Rainwater Storage Tanks carry a 15 year manufacturer’s warranty against defect and Duralen® can be easily recycled which reduces waste and its impact on the environment.
The Carat S Rainwater Storage Tank Line can be outfitted with packaged Rainwater, Potable Water and Wastewater systems that are pre-engineered to be easily installed before or after delivery to site.
The Carat S Belowground Rainwater Storage Tanks are great for:
- Residential & Commercial Rainwater Collection
- Stormwater Retention / Detention
- Fire Protection
- Potable Water Storage
- Septic & Sewage Holding
- Wastewater Treatment
- Pump Chambers
The Carat water storage tank consists of two half shells which can be stacked on top of each other, allowing multiple water tanks to be stacked on a single pallet for shipping. For example, it is possible to stack five 6,500 L (1,700 USG) Carat water storage tanks, or nine 2,700 L (700 USG) Carat water storage tanks on a single pallet. This allows a standard 40 ft. shipping container to house a total water storage tank volume of up to 130,000 L (34,000 USG)! The tanks unique stacking feature directly reduces transport costs and environmental impact from vehicle emissions, while making it practical to ship anywhere in the world. No heavy equipment required – two people can easily load and unload these water storage tanks into pickup trucks and flat deck trucks and trailers if necessary.

Optimum Rainwater Quality in 4 Steps
 |
The rainwater is first cleaned by a patented Filter System(s). The cleaned water runs into the water storage tank and dirt particles are rinsed into the sewer system with a small amount of water. Rain Farmers offers different filter systems for every installation situation. |
 |
The Calming Inlet Assembly allows the finest dirt particles to settle on the bottom of the water storage tank. The assembly prevents swirling and also introduces oxygen to the water keeping the water clear and fresh. |
 |
Dirt particles that are lighter than water (e.g. pollen) settle on the water surface as a floating layer which is automatically removed when the water storage tank is full and overflows to the drainage system through the Overflow Siphon Assembly inside the tank. So, regular overflowing of the water storage tank is important for consistent water quality. |
 |
The collected rainwater is extracted from the water storage tank using a Floating Suction Assembly that always draws water from just below the surface (approx. 4” or 10 cm) as this is the location of the optimum water quality. The GRAF Rainwater Harvesting System – brilliant design and highly effective – simply providing the best water quality possible prior to treatment. |
