Backup Water Storage

Stay supplied
through every outage.

Municipal water cuts, load shedding and pump failures are the new normal. A Videx backup reserve gives homes, estates and businesses days of clean water on tap — automatically, with no behaviour change.

Residential backup water storage tank with pump and pressure system

Overview

Backup Water Storage

Each backup system is sized around your daily consumption and the typical outage duration in your area. The tank fills automatically from the municipal feed, isolates on outage and switches the property over to pumped supply at full pressure. Potable-grade lining, screened inlet and dark UV-stable construction keep the water clean and algae-free between top-ups.

  • Sized to your daily demand and outage profile
  • Automatic municipal fill and outage switchover
  • Pressure pump for full-flow taps and showers
  • Potable-grade, algae-resistant storage
