Tank Calculator

Enter dimensions in metres (m). We’ll estimate volume in litres (L).

Prepping for a Water Tank Clean?
Use our calculator to work out your tank’s volume before booking a clean or treatment. Choose the tank shape and enter your measurements. To estimate how much water is left, use the current water depth instead of the full tank height. Once calculated, your result is automatically copied and ready to paste straight into the FieldPulse booking form.

Rainwater Collection Estimate

Typical defaults: metal ~0.9, tile ~0.8–0.85.
One-off loss per month to remove initial debris.
0 L / month
Rule of thumb: 1 mm of rain on 1 m² ≈ 1 L. We apply first-flush and runoff defaults.

Have questions?

Quick answers to common questions.

Do I enter tank sizes in metres?

Yes. All tank dimensions here are in metres (m). Rainfall stays in millimetres (mm).

What gets copied when I click “Send to Pure Water”?

We copy the label and the litres (e.g., “Rectangular tank capacity: 7,500 L”). On the booking form, click the tank-capacity field and paste.

How accurate is the rainwater estimate?

It’s a quick guide. We subtract a small first-flush and apply a roof runoff coefficient. Actual capture varies with roof material, debris, and setup.

Can you help size a system?

Yes. Add notes in the booking form and we’ll confirm sizing for your site and use-case.
