Vaastu Guide

Overhead Water Tank Placement

An overhead tank is heavy, so it must be placed where Vaastu allows weight — very different from underground water.

Best directions

  • South-west: the best place, as the heavy tank strengthens the earth element.
  • West or south: also suitable.

Directions to avoid

  • North-east: a heavy tank here is linked with financial and health problems.
  • South-east: water and fire clash.
  • Centre: heavy weight at the centre burdens the home.

Tips

  • Raise the tank at least two feet above the roof on a platform.
  • Prefer white, light blue or other light colours; avoid black tanks where possible.
  • Repair leaks quickly, as water dripping onto the roof is linked with money loss.
  • Keep the tank clean.
