400mm Height Lid Extension for Ecociter, Ecobase 1000L Only

Plasteau 400mm Height Lid Extension for Ecociter and Ecobase 1000L (Reference: PLA13556)

This Plasteau lid extension represents an advanced technical solution for optimizing storage volume of 1000-liter Ecociter and Ecobase tanks. Precisely designed by Plasteau, a recognized manufacturer in storage solutions, this 400mm height extension integrates perfectly with existing systems to meet growing storage capacity needs.

Applications and Benefits

This extension finds its place in numerous professional and domestic applications. For homeowners, it significantly increases rainwater collection capacity, optimizing watering autonomy for gardens and vegetable plots. For professionals (farmers, nurseries, landscaping companies), it offers an economical solution to increase storage volumes without investing in a complete new tank.

Installing this extension increases the useful height of the tank while maintaining access to the original lid. This configuration is particularly advantageous during periods of heavy rainfall or for applications requiring large reserves such as irrigation, equipment washing, or fire protection in rural areas.

Technical Characteristics and Compatibility

This extension features a precise 610mm diameter, guaranteeing perfect fitting with Plasteau Ecociter and Ecobase 1000L tank lids. Its 6 kilogram weight demonstrates robust construction using superior quality materials, while remaining easily manageable for installation.

The 400mm height has been studied to offer optimal compromise between volume gain and structural stability. This dimension allows adding approximately 120 liters of additional capacity to the existing tank, representing a significant 12% increase in initial storage volume.

Exclusive compatibility with Ecociter and Ecobase 1000L models guarantees perfect technical integration. This specificity ensures system watertightness and preserves the structural integrity of the tank-extension assembly.

Installation and Use

Installing this extension requires a methodical approach but remains accessible to experienced users. Before any handling, it is essential to completely empty the tank and clean the contact surface of the existing lid. The extension positions between the tank body and original lid, creating a perfectly watertight vertical extension.

To guarantee optimal installation, verify that the placement surface is perfectly flat and free from deformations. Precise alignment of elements is crucial for maintaining system watertightness. Once installed, the extension preserves all access and maintenance functionalities of the original lid.

In use, this extension does not modify usual tank maintenance procedures. Periodic cleaning and joint condition verification remain the same recommended preventive maintenance operations.

Expert Advice and Optimization

To maximize your installation efficiency with extension, consider adding complementary accessories available at Multitanks. An S60x6 or S100x8 fitting may be necessary to adapt your existing connections to the new tank height. Valves and taps from our professional range also allow optimizing flow management.

A common error consists of neglecting assembly stability after installation. With volume increase, additional load sometimes requires reinforcing the existing support or base. Our specialized IBC tank bases offer an adapted solution to guarantee long-term stability.

In winter periods, level monitoring becomes more critical with increased volume. Additional water stored at height can exert increased pressure on joints. Regular visual inspection of connection points allows early detection of any signs of wear or deformation.
