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. Even with a lot of rain, Australia's water shortage is not going to go away 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.
