and watering your garden whenever you like. Imagine how great it
would be to wash your car with rainwater whenever you like, and

Before you purchase a water Tank
If you want to install a water tank in Sydney, we advise that
you contact your local council to first to find out which rules and
regulations apply in your local area. Most local councils are happy
to provide you with free information on their regulations when it
comes to choosing the right water tank.
You may need to submit a development or building application; or
there may be restrictions on the tank’s location, colour and height.
Rainwater Tanks Direct Sydney has a fully licensed water tank
installer on call to
advise you on the pump and installation regulations should you
require this for council.
These inquiries can be made along with finding out whether you’re
entitled to any cash rebates or bill reductions. Rebates can range
from $800 to $1500 for the tank and depend on the size of the tank
and whether it’s connected to a toilet and/or washing machine.
Again, this depends on the council and the state government
regulations but easy enough to find out.

Other things to think about before buying your Rain water Tank…
What are you primarily going to use the tank for?
Where is it going
to be located? What area’s of the home are going to benefit from the water Tank?
How many things can it be hooked up?
Outdoor use
Using the water tank for outdoor gardening purposes is probably
the most common scenario at the moment. Although more and more
people are considering using their rain water indoors as the water
restrictions get tighter, consumers mainly use the rainwater tank
for the garden to connect to your irrigation system and to wash the
car or bikes or boat and will probably use it occasionally to top up
the pool if you have one. We recommend you use a licensed plumber to
connect this.
Indoor use
The most popular use of water from your water tank for indoor
use would be for toilet-flushing, the washing machine or any other
indoor use and this will reduce your water bill substantially. You
will need a licensed plumber to connect the tank to your mains water
supply (so you can still wash a load if the tank is empty, for
example) and the approval of the relevant council’s or government
authorities.
If you’re allowed to connect your water tank to the mains water
supply, you’re likely to need a backflow prevention device so your
rainwater won’t contaminate the mains supply if the water pressure
changes suddenly and the water tries to flow backwards. These are
available from Davey and we stock a range of auto top up and back
flow prevention devices for your rain water needs.
Basic things to consider when buying a water Tank
Rainwater tanks come in a large number of sizes, shapes, materials
and colours. You can install one next to the house, on top or under
it, on a stand, on the ground or below it. Installing a water
Tank below ground is generally more expensive because of excavation
costs, but the huge advantage of installing an underground
water tank is that it out
of the way and out of sight.
Size:
The water tank size you will need depends on what you want
to use it for, the size of your household and garden, your roof area
and the expected rainfall in your area. We can easily help you to
decide the best water tank to install for your home.
Types:
The range of water Tanks available is huge! You can choose
from round, rectangular and slimline water tanks. Round
water tanks ones come either
upright or squat, which may fit well under decking or the like.
Slimline tanks are generally a bit smaller, but are popular with
people who have limited space for a tank. There are also newer
alternatives to the traditional shape – check out our extensive
range at our store
Colours:
There is an extensive range of colours now available in
rain water tanks. It is likely that you will choose a colour to suit
your home exterior colour, or something that will fit in nicely with
your environment.
Material:
Polyethylene (poly)
water tanks are durable and because rust
isn’t an issue with poly rain water tanks, these are the most
preferred choice when it comes to durability, warranty and price.
Location:
To reduce water loss through evaporation from inspection
holes, don’t install your rain water tank where it’ll be in the path
of the hot midday sun. If a sunny location is your only option, then
a shade cloth or cover is recommended. Otherwise a nice shady
position is the most recommended.
Installation:
In most cases, a licensed plumber will be required to
install your rain water tank. You should consider not only a licensed
plumber but an experience plumber to install your water tank.
One that is used to the plumbing’s and fittings required to carry
out a professional job.
Warranty:
Ensure your rain water tank comes with a long warranty and
that you purchase your water tank for a professional,
experienced company that has a reputable range and an ABN and a
licensed address and a registered company name in Australia.
