Pillow tank 1 m³ 1,000 litres – temporary wastewater storage — the right choice when the project is properly scoped
This pillow tank of 1 m³ (1,000 litres) answers a requirement for temporary wastewater storage. It suits professional users, construction sites, remote buildings and locations needing to buffer wastewater before discharge or treatment, with a dependable reserve that installs quickly and fits the ground.
The point that changes everything
Wastewater storage has to be thought of as a system: inflow, storage period, emptying and access.
Composition, temperature, fittings, pumping and the disposal route are all confirmed.
What this tank actually solves
a closed solution for storage without an open lagoon
quick deployment on a temporary or constrained site
connections to be validated against filling, emptying and pumping
Flocea advice: this volume suits a compact requirement, an accessible crawl space, a small building or occasional use.
Choose it if…
- buffering wastewater on a site, a remote location or a temporary building
- avoiding an open lagoon where storage must stay closed
- installing a flexible solution in a constrained space
Avoid it if…
- emptying has not been planned for
- the composition of the liquid could attack the membrane without validation
Specifications to lock down

Frequently asked questions before ordering
How much space does a 1 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.

Torn between two volumes or two connection layouts?
Send us the application, the volume you have in mind, the liquid stored and the site constraints. Flocea checks the sizing before order or quotation.
