Our Product

We've named it the WaterBoy and its true, it will look after your tank water 24/7. Faced with the evidence of water tanks and their ability to store not only water but also collect everything else from off the roof (or from the stream) and provide a perfect haven for a multitude of microbes in the resulting layer of matter on the bottom of the tank required some lateral (or should that be horizontal) thinking in order to obtain a solution.

Obviously drawing water from the worst zone (as illustrated in the diagram) had to be addressed. Why not get the water from the best zone? And so the WaterBoy evolved. Like all good innovations it is simple and it works brilliantly. Not only does it get your water away from the zone where the bugs like to reside it also gets you the cleanest and tastiest water in the tank! ie just below the surface. It tastes better because it is fresh and highly oxygenated. It automatically adjusts to the changing water level in your tank and you need never worry that it isn't working because it always is.

The photograph to the right shows the WaterBoy. It is made from the best quality components available including a welded stainless steel cage, stainless steel collar bracket, stainless steel chain, polyethylene flotation bouy, and a flexible outflow pipe. The 32mm tank outlet fitting is shown, this will vary depending upon the tank construction and outlet diameter you specify when ordering.

From the depiction of the typical water tank, be it plastic, concrete or wood you will see that when new water enters the tank it remains near the surface. There is very little water circulation in a tank apart from the slow removal of water from the bottom (for your use) and the replenishment at the top by rainwater (or in some cases stream or bore water fed in by gravity or a pump).

The WaterBoy uses the best quality materials available, plastics, stainless steel and sometimes brass in its construction enabling us to offer a 10 year guarantee, but providing your tank is covered (and it should be) it will last many years longer than that.
