Rain Water Tanks

Water TankRain 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.

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.

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.
