The best method to save and store water is by buying a high-quality steel water tank in Zambia.
If you’re looking to buy a water tank in Zambia, you’ve come to the right place. Whether for a home in Lusaka, a farm in the Copperbelt or an industrial site in Ndola, choosing the right water storage tank makes all the difference.
We manufacture high-quality galvanised steel tanks, custom sizes, and support delivery and installation into Zambia.
Why you need a water storage tank in Zambia now
Zambia faces irregular municipal supply, seasonal droughts and growing demand across homes, agriculture and commercial uses. Having a dedicated storage tank means you avoid sudden cut-offs, support irrigation or livestock, and even manage storm-water catchment. It’s an investment in stability, cost-saving and resilience.
We are not just manufacturers of quality water tanks in Africa, we are also worldwide suppliers. We also offer steel water tanks in Liberia.
Why invest in one of our water tanks?
We sell galvanized water tanks – easily transportable and maintenance-free. Our tanks are guaranteed to provide you with clean water during shortages. The water-saving abilities of our tanks are not only advantageous for communities but businesses and factories can also benefit from having water tanks on site. Water is one expensive resource, yet every business needs it, especially those businesses based in rural areas.
When you are committed to saving water, you will notice that you also start saving money. If you install a water tank on the premises of your business, your warehouse, or your factory, you will always have water available at no extra expense.
Think about how much you can save when you have a water tank for clean water as well as a tank with water to be used for other purposes. You will have more control over your month-to-month expenses which in turn will help you with your budgeting.
Selecting portable water tanks vs. fixed galvanized water tanks
For Warehouses or factories and businesses looking for a water tank, the best option is often the fixed galvanised tank. This is a popular selection for those who are not going to need to move the tank around. Fixed tanks remain in one place, and because of their size, they are often built on-site rather than transported already built.
As mentioned before, the galvanised tank is completely hygienic, which makes it suitable for storing water for drinking but it can also be used for storing greywater, if that is your intention. Galvanized water tanks are exceptionally durable, as they are manufactured using 3mm and 4.5 mild steel, depending on the tank height. They have a larger lifespan.
Why should you buy our water tanks?
With over 40 years in tank manufacturing, we specialise in galvanised steel tanks built for African climate, deliver into Zambia and provide a 10-year structural warranty. Our team supports sizing, base preparation, installation planning and after-sales service.
Our steel (metal) water tanks are designed and manufactured to be exceptionally durable. The other benefits of buying our tanks include:
· Versatile design
You can order your tanks in a number of different sizes. This is advantageous because it allows you to design the tank to fit in all kinds of spaces.
· Versatile sizes
We can build water tanks in a number of different sizes which means we can build a custom size tank for you. Your water tank is assembled onsite, so the size can be easily customized to suit your needs.
How to choose the right tank size and capacity (for Zambia homes, farms and industries)
Start by estimating your daily usage (household, irrigation, livestock) and potential rainwater catchment (roof area × rainfall). For example, if a household uses ~200 litres/day and you want a month’s buffer, a 6 000-10 000 litre tank may suffice.
For farms or commercial use, scales of 50 000 L+ become relevant. Custom sizes are available. Think also of future growth, seasonal water surges, and space/footprint on your site.
Where to install your tank and prepare the base in Zambia conditions
Installation site matters: choose a level, stable, well-draining area. For large steel tanks, a concrete pad or properly compacted sand/stone base is critical (especially if heavy rainfall or soft soil). Some modular tanks list sand bases as acceptable.
Place it near gutters (for rainwater), accessible for maintenance, and shaded if possible to reduce heat/UV load.
Rainwater harvesting in Zambia – maximise your tank investment
Harvesting rainfall gives you free water and reduces reliance on municipal supply. For example, a 100 m² roof in Lusaka with 800 mm annual rainfall could capture ~80 000 litres/year (before losses). Combine with a decent size storage tank and you’ll improve resilience.
Use a first-flush diverter and filter to keep water clean.

FAQ's
Galvanised steel offers superior durability in Zambia’s UV, dust and rainfall conditions; plastic is lighter/cheaper but may degrade faster unless UV-stabilised.
Yes for heavier/fixed tanks, especially large capacity or steel models in soft soil. Some modular tanks allow sand/gravel bases if conditions are stable.
With proper base, coating and maintenance, a galvanised steel tank can last 20-30 years or more in Zambian conditions.
Consider inlet, outlet, overflow, drain pipes; man-hole/access hatch; level indicator; first‐flush diverter if harvesting rainwater; ladder/ventilation; UV/shade protection.
Yes — we deliver into Zambia, support installation and can customise size and specification based on your site and usage.
