Installing a rainwater tank is a cost-effective solution to conserving our most precious resource, water.
Some of the driest parts of the world can be found in Australia, however we also experience periods of intense rain, low pressure systems and cyclones.
While we’ve experienced much needed rainfall across NSW in 2020, the past 24 months saw a lower than average pattern of rainfall, resulting in level 2 water restrictions across many parts of the state.
Typically, the water from intense periods of rainfall flows out to sea as damaging storm water runoff. One simple way to improve your home’s sustainability and contribute to creating an eco-friendly home is to invest in a rainwater harvesting system.
To make use of rainwater, your home will need:
- a suitable roof guttering system to collect the water
- a Rainwater tank to store the water
- a pump and other accessories to transport the water to where you need it (not required if gravity feeding).
When considering your options for a rainwater tank, you’ll need to note the space you have available and how much storage capacity will be required.
In urban areas, space for a water tank can be limited. A space saving solution for your tank would be a slimline tank to fit against the side of your home or business premises.
