Plastic Water Tank Prices in Kenya: 500 to 10,000 Litres
Pictured: 10,000-litre (left) and 1,500-litre (right) plastic water storage tanks.
Quick answer: Our plastic water storage tanks cost KSh 5,500 (500 litres) to KSh 68,000 (10,000 litres). Choose the size from your daily water use and how many days of storage you want. Raising a tank on a stand gives free gravity pressure: about 0.1 bar for every metre of height.
Key facts
  • 500 L from KSh 5,500; 10,000 L KSh 68,000
  • Size = daily use × days of storage you want
  • Every metre of height ≈ 0.1 bar of pressure
  • Firm, level base; covered and cleaned regularly

Water Tank Price List

Current listed prices incl. VAT (updated 1 October 2026).

Check each tank's dimensions (height and diameter) on the product page before planning the base or stand.

Which Size Water Tank Do I Need?

  1. Estimate daily use: see how much water a family uses per day.
  2. Multiply by the number of days of supply you want to store (for example, for days when council water does not flow).
  3. Choose the next tank size up.

Tank Stand Height and Water Pressure

Water pressure from a raised tank comes from height: about 0.1 bar for each metre above the tap. A tank 3 m above the highest tap gives about 0.3 bar, enough for basic taps but low for some showers and instant heaters. For more pressure, add a booster pump. Have an engineer or fundi design tall stands: a full 10,000-litre tank weighs about 10 tonnes.

Are Plastic Water Tanks Safe?

Tanks made for drinking water are safe when kept covered, out of direct contamination and cleaned regularly. Treat or purify tank water before drinking: see home water purifiers.

How Long Do Plastic Water Tanks Last?

A good tank on a firm, level base lasts many years. Check the warranty on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a 10,000 litre water tank in Kenya?

Our 10,000-litre tank is KSh 68,000.

How much is a 5,000 litre water tank in Kenya?

Our 5,000-litre tank is KSh 36,500.

How much is a 1,000 litre water tank?

The 1,000-litre loft tank is KSh 12,500.

How high should a water tank stand be?

Each metre of height gives about 0.1 bar of pressure; have tall stands designed by an engineer because full tanks are very heavy.

Are plastic water tanks safe for drinking water?

Tanks made for drinking water are safe when covered and cleaned; treat or purify the water before drinking.
