Customer Reviews About Camping
The mesh on the lid inlet was overwhelmed with debris on the first rain and the tanks collapsed, causing the support rods to break. Now I have to source stronger support rods and probably support rings, or just throw tanks away. The overflow is a tiny pipe, so if you are going to the tank on 90mm SW pipe then forget about it. Would not recommend.
It works very well.
It sorted out mosquito problem quite well.
Only problem is quality.
I got the first one, March 2024, purchased from Mitre 10. After a year, just after expired warranty, it stopped working.
Then I got second one, March this year.
I stopped using it since getting cold.
Then today, when I tried to use it, no UV light.
I checked the bulb, and found the plug for the UV bulb was melted.
Hard to believe. I can not find the invoice for it, so unable to claim the warranty.
Anyway the quality should be improved as I am satisfied with its performance.
Worked for a year, and then stopped
Grabbed this collapsible tank and it's been super handy holds heaps of water and was way easier to set up than I expected. Plus it doesn’t take up much space when not in use!
