Two tanks by the downpipe, both covered since the spring. The water was green last July – this year it's clear. The photo was taken in August.

The water in the tank was green last July. This year it's as clear as tap water.
IBC cover for the standard 1000-litre tank, 120 × 100 × 116 cm. The green 210D Oxford fabric keeps out the light that lets algae grow in rainwater and takes the UV instead of the plastic. A corner zip and a top opening let you fill up and reach the lid without taking the cover off.
Material: Water-repellent 210D oxford fabric, green.
Dimensions: 120 × 100 × 116 cm (L × W × H).
Fits: Standard 1000-litre IBC tank.
Details: Zip in the corner, opening on top for the lid and downpipe.
The cover is made for the standard 1000-litre tank, 120 × 100 × 116 cm including the pallet. Measure your tank if it sits on a taller pallet than standard.
600 or 800-litre tanks will be too loose – the cover may flap in the wind.

How it works
Dark water is clean water
Algae need two things: water and light. Take away the light and nothing happens.
No algae
The heavy fabric blocks out the light completely, so algae never get going. The water stays clear all season.
The tank doesn't age
UV makes plastic brittle year after year. The fabric takes the sun instead of the tank, so the tank lasts longer.
Top up with it on
The opening on top keeps the lid and downpipe within reach at all times. Top up without taking anything off.
On in a minute
Slip it over the tank and close the zip. No wrestling with tarps, rope and bungees.
Tank in full sunThe problem
The rainwater turns green before summer has even started.
Sunlight straight into the tank makes algae grow in the water. It smells, clogs the tap and leaves slime in the watering can.
UV makes the plastic brittle year after year, and the tarp that was meant to protect it blows off in the first autumn gale.
No light, no algae. It's that simple.
Clear water all seasonThe solution
A cover that keeps the light out and the tank in one piece.
Slip the cover over the tank and close the zip – the green 210D oxford fabric shuts out the light so algae never get going, and takes the sun instead of the plastic.
The opening on top lets you reach the lid and downpipe without taking anything off. At 120 × 100 × 116 cm it fits a standard 1000-litre tank.
- The water stays clear
- The tank doesn't age in the sun
- Blends into the garden
Dark water is clean water.
Comparison
Why not just use a tarp?
A tarp lets light in at the edges and blows off in the first storm. A made-to-fit cover does neither.

| Top up with it on | Opening on top | No |
| On and off | Zip, one minute | Rope and bungees |
| UV protection for the plastic | Yes | Partly |

From the garden to the smallholding
Rainwater for the garden, a water reserve at the allotment or drinking water for animals in the paddock – the cover keeps the light and the weather out.
The water was green last July. This year it's clear.

No more algae in the watering water at last. The tap doesn't clog any more.
Gillian, 63 · Verified purchase
Three tanks along the garage, all covered. The 3-pack gave the lowest price per cover.

Hannah M.
I have two tanks stacked on the drive. The covers fitted the standard size and look far smarter than the white plastic.
Neil S.
Three tanks on pallets along the garage wall. Bought the 3-pack – lowest price per cover and they all fit like a glove.
Gillian L.
No more algae in the watering water at last. The tap doesn't clog any more.
Gary B.
The zip means it goes on in a minute. Last year I had a tarp and bungees – never again.
Brian N.
The opening on top is worth its weight in gold. The downpipe goes straight into the tank without me taking anything off.
Julie H.
The green blends into the garden. The neighbours asked where I got it.
Roger A.
I use the tank for the animals' water in the paddock. Clean water all summer now.
Sophie E.
Quick delivery and good quality. Feels thicker than the cheap ones I've seen on the marketplaces.
Alan F.
The plastic on my old tank started cracking in the sun. The new one has had a cover since day one.
Malcolm W.
Two linked tanks and both have clear water now. The first one always used to go green.
Lucy N.
Bought it for the allotment. The water stays fresh between visits.
Ken R.
Fitted my 1000-litre tank exactly. Sturdy zip.
Lesley D.
A whole summer in full sun and the colour has barely faded. Still keeps the weather out.
Colin K.
Good price on the 3-pack. Every tank on the farm is covered now.
Nicola K.
Good fit and good fabric. Four stars because it was a bit tight getting it down over the pallet, but it sits well now.
Amy J.
Does the job. Would have liked an extra strap at the bottom for windy spots, but it has stayed on so far.
Lee G.
Good cover, but my tank sits on a taller pallet than standard so it didn't reach all the way down. Measure before you order.
FAQ
Everything you need to know
Can't find the answer? Email support@eoka.se – we reply within 24 hours on working days.
The cover is made for the standard 1000-litre IBC tank: 120 × 100 × 116 cm including the pallet. If you have an older tank on a taller pallet, measure the height before you order.
Through the opening on top. You can reach the lid and the downpipe without taking the cover off.
Yes. The zip sits in the corner and opens from the bottom, so you can reach the tap without taking the cover off.
Algae need light to grow. Shut the light out and they never get going. If the tank already has algae: empty it, rinse it out and fit the cover before you refill.
The cover can take the winter. Drain the tank before the frosts – freezing water can split the plastic, cover or no cover.
Yes, one cover per tank. Stacked tanks and tanks linked in a row along a wall work just as well.
