The gathering of rainwater in tanks has become commonplace all across Australia for those who live in outlying properties or those who want to decrease their water bills and help the environment while having plenty of free rainwater.
Rainwater can also be used for drinking as long as it’s processed before being potable, otherwise, the rainwater is great for farming, irrigation, watering animals, washing clothes or machinery etc.
The rainwater is harvested from your rooftops and then by using guttering and pipes you can simply collect it in a tank for storage. Rain has contaminants in it and particle debris like silt that can build up, so the best way to combat this is to filter it before it makes it into your tank.
These tanks come in all shapes and sizes and can be above or below ground which varies the cost dramatically, but in short, a medium-sized rainwater tank above ground is very affordable and cost-effective.
Getting the right type of tank is crucial as this will affect not only how it looks, but also the way it functions somewhat as well as the cost. Here's a guide to the many different types available.
You can’t just buy a tank and place it in your garden. A rainwater tank plumber will custom install it based on your property and also implement things like:
Other related materials include sumps, which will prevent any overflow from blocked or slow-running gutters, plus necessary pipework and fittings. There are also tank stands that provide extra pressure for rainwater tanks with no pump installed.
