Pillow tank 20 m³ 20,000 litres – agricultural water storage and irrigation — the right choice when the project is properly scoped
This pillow tank of 20 m³ (20,000 litres) answers a requirement for agricultural water storage and irrigation. It suits farms, market gardens, livestock units, estates and irrigation sites needing a dependable reserve that installs quickly and fits the ground conditions.
The point that changes everything
On a farm, an undersized tank always shows up at the worst moment: peak irrigation, a heatwave, or difficult access.
The right choice starts from the autonomy required, the pump flow rate, the refill frequency and the space available.
What this tank actually solves
buffer storage securing irrigation or stock watering
installation with no open lagoon and no heavy concrete structure
can be relocated when empty as fields or buildings change

Frequently asked questions before ordering
How much space does a 20 m³ pillow tank need?
The exact area depends on the format chosen and on the fittings. The base must be level, stable, free of anything that could puncture it, and accessible both for filling and for maintenance. Flocea confirms the usable dimensions before sign-off.
Can this tank be connected to a pump?
Yes, provided the outlets, valves and accessories are specified at the point of order. Tell us the flow rate you expect, so the installation is not undersized.
Does the tank arrive ready to install?
The tank is delivered folded, with the equipment listed in the quotation. Ground preparation, protection, external fittings and any pump must be planned according to the site.
Should I take this volume or the next size up?
If your need is seasonal, regulatory or awkward to replenish, allow a margin. The next size up avoids over-frequent refilling and secures your autonomy.
Next step
Torn between two volumes or two connection layouts?
