The Flat Wall Auto Tank Vacuum (TAVK03) saves you on tank cleaning costs and increases your tank water quality by automatically drawing sediment off the floor of your tank whenever it overflows. This model is suitable for poly and steel tanks where the overflow is on a flat surface.
Install and Forget
The patented Auto Tank Vacuum can be easily attached to your overflow outlets. It automatically draws sediment off the bottom of your tank and removes it through your overflows, making the entire system simple, effective and virtually maintenance-free.
Save on Tank Cleaning Costs
Because it automatically draws sediment off the bottom of your tank, the Auto Tank Vacuum helps you save money by cutting the cost of regular tank cleaning and frequent filter cartridge replacement.
Increase Tank Water Quality
The Auto Tank Vacuum plays an important role in preserving the quality of the rainwater you collect by drawing out heavy metals, bacteria and other fine sediments that have settled on your tank floor so they cannot be stirred and resuspended.
Tank Vacuum Box Includes
- 90 Degree Flanged Elbow w/ Anti-Syphon Vent
- 90mm Threaded Upper Coupling
- 90mm Threaded Toothed Coupling
Tank Vacuum Installation (Flat Wall)
- Your Automatic Tank Vacuum can be installed in both empty rainwater tanks and tanks with water in them.
- To determine the appropriate length for your tank vacuum pipe, put the 90 degree flanged elbow against your tank overflow outlet, place the toothed coupling at the base of your rainwater tank, and measure the distance between them.
- Cut a length of 90mm UPVC pipe to match the measurement you took for the suction riser.
- Apply solvent weld glue to the threaded socket of your toothed and plain coupling and both ends of the suction riser pipe then push together holding until the glue sets.
- Using the 90 degree flanged elbow and the plain coupling end of the suction riser, apply solvent weld glue to both, push together and hold until the glue sets.
- Remove the existing tank overflow outlet from your tank and clean around the flange contact surface.
- Insert the assembled Automatic Tank Vacuum through the overflow hole, swinging it down into place once the elbow is through the hole.
- Apply silicone to the flange and use screws to secure it to the tank.
- You may wish to consider installing an insect-proof flap valve and Leaf Catcha or Air Gap at the outlet. This will prevent pests from entering your tank via the tank vacuum and will also complement the anti-syphon vent to further prevent syphoning.

Here are some kind words from happy customers:
Thanks for the excellent customer service, especially that the order wasn't a straight forward one. I'd highly recommend you guys if someone asked about tanks, particularly stainless steel ones.
Great Service - Very commutative throughout the whole. However best for us, was the flexibility to work around our plumber. We changed delivery dates three times and they were easy to work with and even worked with our plumber direct, as a result tank delivered and fitted all the same day.
Fantastic price, customer service & product! We bought a QTank poly-slimline tank via Tank Shop, for our pool/garden. The customer service, delivery and quality of the product was fantastic. We’ve had a lot of trades & deliveries during our renovations and the experience with QTank and Tank Shop was one of the best. They were quick to confirm everything, kept us informed throughout and the QTank delivery was super smooth and well explained. Would highly recommend both companies.
No worries at all Tank shop were simply great.
Lotsa detailed help.
Careful and effective.
Actually surprisingly cheap for stainless.
Beautiful tank, I mean real pretty.
Delivery bloke was superb, even helping me with getting around a tight corner I should have had ready, with only positivity.
Oh and only a week and a half from order to install. This is not usual, but still, it happened.
Couldn’t be happier. It even rained after the install.
Great service Tank Shop staff were excellent to deal with and found a great solution for my installation. Price was good, service was great and I was kept informed of where my order was up to every step of the way. Delivery was right on time and the guys installing the tanks were very good. Highly recommend Tank Shop to anyone!
The process throughout has gone very smoothly - from the excellent information provided by you guys before and during the order process, through to the frequent updates and punctual delivery by Kingspan.
It's been a great experience - I will be happily recommending you to any of my colleagues who are looking for a tank.
Thanks for all your help!

Great product (Maelstrom Filter System), has made a big difference
Excellent service and value for money - Reviewed at least five tank suppliers and then found Tank Shop offering excellent deal on Qtank. Helpful and courteous dealing with both companies to get delivery tied in with other work being done. Highly recommend Tank Shop and their Qtank supplier for all aspects of purchase including delivery.
Had to get a new water tank and found this Brisbane based company online. The tank was ordered easily using the online form and payment system. The company communicated with us at every step, and delivery was definitely in the time frame they advised. The delivery guys were polite and efficient. Def recommend this company.
Got 3 tanks and 3 Maelstrom filter in 2020 in Melbourne. Very happy with kind and honest service & quick reply from Scott. Thanks
Good communication with Tank Shop made for an easy transaction. My new high quality rainwater tank and fittings arrived on schedule and the delivery driver had the tank sited in a matter of minutes. A very satisfied customer!
Excellent customer service over and above the expectation. Professional and prompt Ordering through to Delivery, Keith even helped us position the tank in which was a tricky spot. I had also initially made an error with the online payment and sent the money to a wrong Account, Scott was very helpful and we tracked the funds through Scott's Bank, CUA, no thanks to my Bank the NAB! All in all an excellent outcome, thanks Tank Shop.
My first time using Tankshop, and it all went extremely well very satisfied with pricing, quality and speedy delivery. Would recommend this seller anyone.
I ordered a $20 item plus transport from Tank Shop.
It arrived in Melbourne 2 days later and sat in the transport company’s warehouse for 2 weeks, waiting for delivery 15km away! Malessa at Tank Shop rang and emailed them each day of the second week, along with my emails to them to speed up delivery. Tank Shop offered a replacement item, sent by another transport company the day before the item arrived. Really? For the few dollars profit on my sale, Tank Shop’s customer service is like nothing I’ve experienced. Absolutely brilliant!! 12/10
Top equipment. Easy to buy and fast delivery. We keep coming back.
As I am in country NSW it was so easy to contact them, get the items I needed and the quick delivery.
I purchased a 5000l tank from the website. I had a follow up phone call that same day. Very happy with price and service received.
The Tank Shop was FANTASTIC to deal with!!!! I was VERY concerned about purchasing a tank online, so I called the number numerous times and asked 1000 questions, and the gentleman I spoke to was ALWAYS sooooo lovely and understanding of my concerns. Anyway we went with it and had our tank delivered PERFECTLY on time, with ALL the attachments we needed to make it all come together beautifully - SOOOOOO happy. I recommend you to EVERYONE! THANKS SOOOOO MUCH! WHAT CHEAP and FANTASTIC tanks!!!!
Purchased 10000L tank to take advantage of Council Rebate Scheme. Tank was delivered as arranged, driver was helpful with placing tank. Happy as Larry with the service.
