Using water tanks safely
Highlighting current topics.
In recent years, Gartenbau-Versicherung has received an increasing number of claims for burst water tanks. The damage to the tank itself is usually the least of the problems. Water tanks are still a relatively inexpensive solution for ensuring that water, a primary resource for horticulture, is reliably available even during dry periods.
Our members are what make us special.
