CHOOSING YOUR WATER TANK or RAIN WATER TANK

Types of water tanks.

With 6 main types of water tanks a little research into the benefit of each type is essential. The main types of water tank include:

  • Concrete Water Tank
  • Poly Water Tank
  • Modular Water Tanks
  • Metal Water Tanks
  • Underground Water Tanks
  • Bladder Water Tanks

    Given that for each 1ml of rain each sq metre of roof collects 1 litre of water and the average roof area of houses in Australia is 160 square metres, a brief 1m rainfall will give you 160 litres of water. So the larger the water tank the better, we suggest at least 4-5000 litres.

 

  • Poly Water Tanks are often the cheapest.
  • Concrete Water Tanks can be made strong enough to install underground.
  • Fibreglass Water tanks are durable and resist corrosion
  • Metal Water tanks now come with corrosive resistant coatings.
  • Underground Water Tanks are a real space savers and are ideal for new homes.
  • Bladder Water Tanks are great for beneath houses and decks

If you intend to drink tank water the tank needs to be a 'food grade' tank. After that its price, ease of installation, look, personal preference. We suggest you consult your local plumber for advice.

Water Tanks now come as slimline tanks, squat, modular, water walls and even as bladders, so no matter the spot you will find a tank that suits.

Do I need a pump for my water tank?

Well yes and no. If you tank is located at the highest point of your property and most of the garden is 'downhill' then maybe not, but water pressure will be low. However electric pumps that can run 2
garden hoses cost as little as a 2-3 hundred dollars, so maybe its worthwhile for most, again ask your plumber if in doubt.
