FAQ

- With a thick-walled rotomoulded construction, the G-Tank is designed to last a lifetime of use and provides a tougher, more durable option when compared to cheaper, thin-walled blow moulded water tanks.

- Moulded using a UV20-rated LLDPE polymer, the G-Tank is designed to outlast 20,000 hours of high-intensity UV exposure. This rating allows the G-Tank to push the boundaries of carrying water

- With the Auto Breather Cap, you never need to open a breather for filling or use.

- The quick-connect enabled Tap Outlet gives you onboard filling (no-need to lift the tank!)

- Comfortable carry straps make transporting the tank for use or filling from the river easy.

The hose supplied with the faucet kit is not drinking water safe. It's perfect for easy access hand washing, and washing up water, but we recommend sourcing a 'food safe' hose alternative should you be needing access to drinking water. 

Please note that the VAAST G-Series Tank and faucet itself are moulded from food safe materials and are a great way to carry and access drinking water on the go. 

No you don't, our Auto Breather lets air in when accessing the water in your tank and air out when filling so you're free to leave the tank in situ for filling and use.

To secure your G-Tank in a Vertical Bracket, we recommend using a cable lock through the tank slot.

To secure your G-Tank in a Surface bracket, the bracket comes with tamperproof screws and a custom driver, so you have the choice of conveinience or security with the standard kit.

While you're in the road the convection of air passing over the tank surface dramatically increases the time it takes for the water to get hot.
But yes after hours and hours of full sun the water temp will increase.
So when stopped at camp, park in the shade.

Or leave in the sun for a warm washdown.

Absolutely, in fact we'd recommend Joolca's Off Grid Plumbing kit (https://www.joolca.com.au/products/12v-plumbing-kit) - to give you higher pressures where needed.
This will also help you fill in situ from natural water sources.

The G-Tank brackets have been designed to mount to platform racks, that said if you can get the center of your roof rack bars to 525mm's apart then the Vertical bracket will fit.
and if you have extra wide racks, the Surface bracket will support the tank mounted along a single bar.

No unfortunately you can't, the gravity feed will work as normal to half way. From there the water is below the outlet and unless you use a pump, it will not gravity feed without it being lifted into the vertical position.
We're working on a lift up bracket to make this a breeze while maintaining low profile on the roof.

The Vertical bracket mounts the tank in this orientation to reduce roofrack area, and optimize gravity flow, but no there are other options.
You can mount it flat on the rack with our surface bracket, and you can also mount against canopy walls, ute trays, etc with our Surface Mounting bracket.

We've designed the tank and caps to be as tough as possible. We want this to be a lifetime purchase not a throw away item.

If you do lose a cap or tear a strap, these parts are all available for purchase as replacEments and spares.

Yes you can
you can't fill the tank, with it inside as the filling process expels water from the auto breather cap.

For internal mounting we recommend putting the HPV insert (in the auto breather cap) into high pressure mode, to prevent any accidental spills caused by other luggage squeezing things on the trails.

G-Tanks often fit perfectly on fridge slides, etc.

Our current collection allows for an extended array of customisations to the way that you can carry water.

Want to maximise your water-carrying capabilities or have limited roof space?
We recommend the G-Series Vertical Bracket to complete your setup. This product securely mounts your G-Series Water Tank to almost any roof rack/platform system or tray bed and places the tank in the perfect orientation for hose filling and gravity-fed water access.

Want to reduce your profile or get creative with your setup?
Look no further than the G-Series Surface bracket! The Surface Bracket is designed to mount onto both vertical and horizontal surfaces, like the inside or outside of your canopy walls, the inside of your ute/truck tray, or flat on your platform roof rack for lower clearance.

No bracket? No worries!
Simply strap the G-Series Water Tank down to your roof rack or ute tray through the slot in the middle of the tank.

We have lots of mounting bracket ideas in the works. If you have requests, please let us know, we're always interested to hear your ideas!

The tank has been designed for amazing simplicity of filling and use; however, the downside can be small leaks out of the Auto Breather Cap when it's put under pressure by loose cargo on a rough track or tipped on its end in steep terrain. With that in mind, we recommend the G-Series tank to be stowed outside a vehicle to avoid any unfortunate spills.

If you need to store the tank inside your vehicle, we recommend purchasing an additional Tap Outlet and replacing the Auto Breather when in transit for confidence in carrying the G-Series tank inside your vehicle. We're looking to develop a seal cap to support this use case in the future.

We've spent a lot of time in development, engineering and testing in Victoria's High Country, trying to shake the tank free of the vertical and surface bracket. It's safe to say that the tank can't be dislodged through any type of driving we'd subject our test vehicles to.

When your tank is mounted in the Vertical Bracket, please watch for low overhanging branches etc, but more often than not the robust rubber strap will flex rather than break and your tank will stay put right where you want it.

When your tank is mounted in the Surface Bracket on a horizontal surface, ensure that the tank is supported from below.

Yes, a single Vertical Bracket will easily mount along a longitudal roof rack system.

If you're interested in mounting more than one G-Series Water Tank on your roof (or want to customise the position of your Vertical Bracket on your roof), we suggest using a G-Series Double or Triple Vertical Bracket Adapter.

The Double and Triple Adapters allows you to mount 2 or 3 x G-Series Vertical Brackets up next to each other, ensuring that you can maximise rooftop storage in already limited real-estate.

VAAST is an Australian company. All of our product design & development, as well as the majority of our operations, is based out of our Headquarters right here in Melbourne. 

Our products are currently made in China. All of the manufacturing partners we deal with have been hand-selected based on their professionalism and the quality of work they produce. In many cases, we've been working together for many years now and have forged a very close relationship so now when they produce Vaast products they do it according to our strict guidelines and specifications. 

The reality is that unfortunately, the combination of these benefits would probably be impossible to find in any other country. Having said that, our door is open and we're always looking for awesome manufacturing partners. So if you know of any, please feel free to make an introduction!
