Rain Water Tanks
Rain Water Tanks have become hugely
popular around Australia. Water restrictions taking
hold in more and more cities and towns around the
country.
Even with the vast resources of the internet independent
advice can be very hard to find with most rain water tank
guides and information provided by the variety of water tank
manufacturers themselves.
Water Tank Secrets aims to provide
independent advice for all Australians considering purchasing a
water tank. Australia's water shortage is well known and
restrictions don't look at being relaxed any time soon.
As water costs increase the unlimited use of town water that
many Australians remember will be a thing of the past.
Although this site is primarily targeted toward
Australians much of the information about rain water tanks
will still be valid no matter which country you are
visiting from.
Water Tank Secrets do not sell water tanks
and this site is purely informational. In fact we don't sell
anything but our site sponsors do so if any of them can assist
please feel free to visit their sites.
Why Install a Rain Water Tank
Installing your own rainwater tank provides added water
usage options. At Water Tank Secrets you will find the answers
to the most commonly asked questions so you can make an
informed decision.
With the large amount of new urban development in major
cities there is a higher demand on water reserves than there
ever has been.
Water is a valuable commodity and conserving water is
becoming more popular and essential as water restrictions
are put in place for prolonged periods of time in some
areas.
Rainwater tanks can provide a
relatively safe, soft, clear and odourless source of
water. This rainwater can be used for a range of
purposes including drinking, washing, bathing, laundry and
gardening.
This site presents a description of the issues and provides
guidance on the collection, care and storage of rainwater in
domestic water tanks. This is in a manner that should
maximise the quality of water supplied from these tanks.
In Australia the use of domestic rain water
tanks has been a long standing and relatively common
practice for over 100 years. Whilst rainwater can be used
as the sole water supply in urban Australia it is
primarily collected to supplement existing supplies or as
the sole source of household water.
