Frequently Asked Questions
Why should we install a rainwater tank?
In a typical house rainwater is diverted to the stormwater system
without use. This is a waste. A tank will allow you to capture this
water and take advantage of a resource you already get for free on the garden,
for flushing the toilet or for other suitable purposes.
Will rainwater save me money?
With current water prices it is unlikely to obtain short term financial gains
by installing a rainwater tank. The real benefit of having a rainwater tank is
the water savings that can be made.
What size tank should I install?
You need to look at the actual roof area you can collect water from and
the average amount of rain your local area receive in a year - the daily average
of the last 5 years are ideal. This will give you your expected yield on a
daily basis. You can then subtract your average daily usage from
this figure to determine the most beneficial size for you. We also offer a
consultancy service where we can work this out for you.
How is the tank installed?
This depends on the type of tank you have chosen. Some tank
manufacturers will only honour the warranty if the tanks are installed on the
base material specified by them.
What can we use rainwater for?
The short answer is that you can use rainwater for anything that you would
usually use mains water for as long as you take appropriate measures to ensure
the safety of that water. If you do want to use the water for drinking
then you are doing so at your own risk. You should always filter the water
and get it tested before making this choice.
Do we need a pump?
The only time you do not need a pump is if you are only going to connect a
tap directley onto the tank and use water out of this tap to fill buckets or for
hand watering.
