Sizing Options + Recommendations

If used efficiently, cistern owners will still consume an average of approximately 30 gallons daily per person. Using this math, a family of four being conservative with their water will use an average of 120 gallons daily, or 3600 gallons monthly.

Our largest option is a 1700 Gallon Poly Cistern Tank or a 2500 Gallon Low Profile Aquifer Cistern. These tanks would be refilled by a water delivery truck approximately every 10-20 days for a family of four. Depending on your water usage, number of people in your household, and if you have a secondary water source such as rainwater collection, you may be able to use a smaller tank. Water can become stale if stored for too long, so having it filled frequently will create a more enjoyable experience.

Additional Options to Consider – Concrete vs Plastic (Poly)

Durability: Both concrete and poly cisterns have excellent durability when used in the correct conditions. Factors such as soil type and backfilling material are important aspects of your purchase decision.

Lifespan: Cisterns can last 30 years or more when given proper ongoing maintenance.

Cost: Concrete cisterns cost more to purchase and install than poly cistern tanks.

Installation: Concrete is heavier and less maneuverable than plastic which leads to longer installation using heavy machinery.

Corrosion: Unlike poly cistern tanks, concrete tanks may corrode over time or begin cracking with age. Proper maintenance can help reduce the risk of these issues.

Low Profile Aquifer – Manufactured with the same materials as poly cisterns, but designed with a shorter height for areas where digging is less of an option. These are frequently used for storing water under permanent trailers or places with shallow rocks such as Northern Ontario.

Tracking Your Water Level

There are some traditional methods available of measuring the water level of a cistern tank, however, they tend to be much less accurate that modern technological options. The stick method consists of dipping a long stick or pole into your tank to see how deep the water level is. Others simply guess based on time and familiarity with their usage.

Our recommendation would be the PTLevel which can accurately measure your water level and be tracked on your phone. This allows to you access real-time measurements, and order the exact quantity of water you need.

  This place is amazing for your needs. I have bought drainage supplies from them and last week I needed some materials for a municipal water line. They didn't have it but they kindly directed to me another supplier that did. Without their help I would not have got the job done.

  Love this place and I always enjoy the reception I get from the others and patrons. This is the store  provides all of the special fittings for my irrigation setups. There's not a problem they can't fix for you in that respect but they are so much more.

  Picked up some 3" big O pipe with fittings and explored the store. Amazing selection of great quality agricultural and landscape products. Both this and my previous experience with Kyle and other staff has been outstanding. It was almost an 80 minute drive for me but knowing I can get things there that I probably cannot find to many other places and the food staff I will come back as the need arises and will refer others when I can.

  This is a well run business with polite, professional staff willing and able to answer any questions regarding piping, fittings landscape material... the list is long.  The inventory of various fittings, culvert and piping is extensive... nothing in the area like this business. Kyle is a keen manager who ensures everyone is treated well and gets what they need... he knows his product lines well.  George knows his pipe fittings and is able to draw from an extensive knowledgeable background to satisfy any configuration.

  For starters, great phone reception from Julia - friendly and knowledgeable. I placed an order for a truck load of mulch to be delivered on a Friday afternoon but we were not going to to be home at the time. I laid a tarp on my driveway with bricks to keep it in place.  I requested the load be dumped on one side of the tarp so when I got home I could fold it over the mulch because rain was forecasted. I actually got a call from Moe, the driver, telling me that my tarp was a bit too small to cover all the mulch. He came up with the idea to "borrow" a tarp I had on my old utility  trailer to cover the rest of the load. When I got home I found my mulch completely covered with bricks spread all over the tarps.  Who does that in this day and age? Amazing service!  I am for sure buying from these guys again!
