The 200-litre tank has been developed to capture and store rainwater for an emergency. Once boiled, it can be used for drinking.
The tank comes with a user guide complete with installation instructions, and a kit to connect it to a downpipe.
Even if you're not a winner, you can still secure your own tank for the discounted price of $135. We're expecting new stock to arrive next month. To order a tank, phone us on 06 356 8199 or visit our Customer Service Centre on the Square.
It's your go-to for loads of helpful resources and information about how to prepare for and respond to an emergency. We've recently updated it to include information about staying safe and informed during different types of emergencies, including floods, storms and rural fires.
