Water tanks store not just water. They also collect everything else from your 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.
Yet this is the layer from which water is drawn into your house.
Wouldn’t it be better to get the water from the top of the tank where it is cleaner? That is why the Waterboy Tank Water System was developed.

Obviously drawing water from the worst zone (as illustrated in the diagram) is not desirable and the Waterboy gets the water from the best zone – at the top of your tank.
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! i.e. just below the surface. It tastes better because it is fresh, highly oxygenated and does not contain the debris that has settled out – material such as leaf fragments, bird or possum poo, dirt and dust that has washed off your roof.
The Waterboy automatically adjusts to the changing water level in your tank and you need never worry that it isn’t working because it always is.
Whether your water tank is 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.
