Makoro 500L Standard Vertical Water Tank

The Makoro 500L Vertical Medium Duty Water Tank is a compact yet durable water storage solution designed for households, gardens, small agricultural operations, schools, and commercial applications requiring enhanced strength and reliability. With a true storage capacity of 545 litres, this medium-duty tank provides dependable water storage while maintaining a space-efficient footprint.

The tank features an overall height of 925 mm, an effective fill height of 820 mm, and a diameter of 920 mm, making it ideal for installations where available space is limited. A 420 mm lid provides convenient access for filling, inspection, cleaning, and maintenance, while 3 × 45 mm black fittings allow for easy connection to water reticulation, irrigation, and distribution systems.

Manufactured from durable polyethylene, the Makoro 500L Vertical Medium Duty Water Tank features an increased wall thickness of 4–6 mm, providing additional strength and durability compared to standard-duty models. This reinforced construction makes it particularly suitable for applications where greater robustness and longer service life are required while still maintaining a practical and lightweight design.

Supplied as standard in grey, with custom colours available on request, the tank offers a professional appearance while delivering dependable performance in demanding outdoor conditions. Its compact dimensions, durable construction, and versatile design make it ideal for rainwater harvesting, household backup water storage, garden irrigation, livestock watering, and general-purpose water storage.

Every Makoro tank is proudly manufactured in Botswana using innovative technology and sturdy, purpose-driven designs — all backed by a 10-year guarantee. Built from top-end, UV-stabilised polymer, our tanks are engineered to handle harsh Southern African conditions with ease. Tanks intended for drinking water are made from food-grade virgin polymer, ensuring safe, long-lasting storage. Available in a wide variety of colours, Makoro tanks deliver trusted strength, consistent quality, and uncompromising durability.

Our standard tanks are designed to safely store liquids with a specific gravity (SG) of 1 or less — ideal for water and other low-density fluids. For medium- to heavy-duty use involving higher SG liquids such as molasses, brines, or agricultural chemicals, we offer custom-reinforced tank options to suit your needs.
