Georgia Water Tanks is a manufacturer's rep company, providing water tanks, pumps, and filters on commercial and residential projects.

We were founded January 2014 with the goal of making rainwater harvesting a part of every construction project where stormwater management is required. As we grow, we look for ways to leverage our manufacturers' capabilities in all markets we serve.

Our goal for every project is to "make it work the way everybody thinks it should." To that end, we provide design assistance, custom coordination drawings, and commissioning on all our rainwater packages. More than commissioning, we provide jobsite supervision, to help all trades learn this "new" concept.

Richard Hanson

Founder

A 1989 graduate of Georgia Tech, Richard has worked in the field of water pressure control his entire career, first as a regional salesperson for the Watts rep, providing design assistance, customer service, and occasional field support for backflow preventors, PRV's, relief valves, and the rest of the Watts line. Then at SyncroFlo, where duties included continued product development of the IronHeart line. It was at SyncroFlo that he discovered the concept of rainwater harvesting. . .

Residential Booster Pump
Georgia Water Tanks now stocks the Tigerflow Ocelot VFD pump system. We loved the Grundfos MQ pump, but it was discontinued some time ago, and reviews of its replacement have been poor. So we are glad to introduce the Ocelot! https://buff.ly/3UCRx6F

Is Rainwater Harvesting Legal in Georgia?
Is Rainwater Harvesting Legal in Georgia?
Yes — rainwater harvesting is completely legal in Georgia and actively supported for non-potable uses like irrigation, toilet flushing, and fire protection. The state encourages sustainable water practices, and rainwater systems can help reduce runoff and water bills. Projects must follow basic plumbing codes and should use proper filtration and backflow prevention if connected to indoor systems. Always consult your local municipality or county for specific permitting guidelines.

Booster Pumps & Pressure Tanks
For years I've had to listen to my pump system manufacturer tell me that their systems work great without pressure tanks. All the while, having to supply pressure tanks on almost every system, in order to make the work correctly. Now I can finally tell you the truth: you need a pressure tank with a booster system! Your alternative is high pressure swings or wasted energy.
