Rainwater tanks are now quite a common sight in Sydney, with more and more tanks being installed every day. Even though water restrictions come and go, water rates only seem to rise. It makes good sense to install a water tank to reduce water costs and use harvested rainwater to keep the garden looking good, or to perform any of the other tasks around the home which require water.Thus, although Sydney is well supplied with mains water, installing a rainwater tank in Sydney will provide plenty of benefits. You don’t need to live in a farming community to have a water tank. Sydney residents have well and truly embraced the idea of rainwater tanks, and at Rainwater Tanks Direct, we are here to help you find the right water tank for your needs.

While the state’s Health Department and local councils do not recommend using your collected rainwater as drinking water because of possible contaminants, your rainwater can be used for many other purposes such as flushing toilets, washing clothes, watering the garden, washing the car and so on, so you can keep mains water for drinking, showering and cooking. Existing water supplies will struggle to keep pace with Sydney’s ever expanding population, especially when drought conditions return as they inevitably will. By installing a water tank you will be doing your bit to live sustainably and conserve precious drinking water, as well as saving money by reducing your domestic water usage. During heavy downpours, some areas in Sydney are subjected to flooding. Installing a rainwater tank will help to divert water from the storm water system and reduce the incidence of minor local flooding as well as to conserve water. While the Federal and State governments are no longer providing rebates on installing water tanks in Sydney, a few local councils still mandate water tanks for any new homes or renovations. Check with your Local Council to find out if they offer rebates to help with the purchase of your rainwater tank and pump. A few financial institutions offer Green Loans to help with the purchase of items such as rainwater tanks.

Rainwater is not chlorinated like mains water and also contains Nitrogen which is very good for your plants’ health. Having your own supply of rainwater to use whenever you want will keep your garden looking good and will mean you won’t have to worry about water restrictions again. You can run your irrigation system whenever you like to keep your gardens alive or top up your pool during those hot windy days of summer. If you connect your rainwater tank to the Sydney water supply, you will need a backflow prevention device installed so your rainwater won’t contaminate the mains supply if water pressure suddenly changes and water starts to flow backwards. We can supply you from our range of auto top up and back flow prevention devices for your rainwater needs.

Because Sydney is such a large market, the range of rainwater tanks is huge! If you have plenty of space, then an above ground tank is your cheapest option, but if your space is limited then a slimline tank is ideal for those narrow side-of-house locations. If your space is limited and you don’t want the visual impact of a tank, then a bladder tank, an underdeck tank or an underground tank might be best for you. These options are more expensive, because of design and the excavation required for an underground tank but they make give you the best solution for installing a rainwater tank in densely-populated Sydney.
