Rainwater tanks boost the green credentials of your home by creating a renewable source of water that can be used for many applications around the home and garden, including irrigating lawns, keeping plants and vegetables hydrated and washing clothes.
The first step in choosing a rainwater tank is deciding how much rainwater you want to store. You can determine this figure by calculating how much rainwater you plan on using per week.
A large garden may require about 1000 litres per week, toilets can use about 200 litres per week, and washing machines can use up to 1000 litres per week. A good rule of thumb is to have at least three weeks worth of water available.
The next step is to figure out where you want to position your rainwater tank. The best place for a rainwater tank is next to a wall or a fence, positioned so it does not block any doors, windows or paths. A sturdy, level surface is essential, as a full tank can weigh several tonnes. Measure the space you have in mind to determine how large a tank you can fit.
The best way to get a tank that perfectly fits your space and size requirements is by having one made to measure.
