Why Need To Buy Rainwater Tanks

A rain water tank is beneficial to any home, especially if you live in an area where water is scarce. Water restrictions are in force in many areas of Australia. However, with additional rain water you are free to wash your car, water the garden or do the laundry as often as you wish without putting a strain on your city’s water resources. In addition, you will be pleasantly surprised to find a big reduction in your water bill as well. Prior to purchasing a rain water tank there are a few things you need to consider.

One of the major factors to influence your buying decision is the size of the tank. This will depend largely on the space you have and the purpose for which the water will be utilized. A smaller tank would do for the garden but if you need to connect it to the toilet a larger tank would be necessary. Rainwater tanks comes in a variety of size from a thousand litres to 25,000 and more so you aren’t spoilt for choice.

 Another important aspect is the design of the tank, which once again depends on your requirements and a suitable location where it can be installed. Tanks are available in a number of shapes and sizes, and some companies offer custom built tanks as well. The amount of space you have to install a tank will also influence your choice. For those short on space, an underground tank would suffice. In addition, there are a variety of slim designs that can fit along the house.
