Questions
What size rainwater tank should I buy?
Tank size depends on roof catchment area, household occupancy, and water usage patterns. Our 1,000-3,000 litre models suit most homes, with larger capacities available for commercial applications or extensive irrigation needs.
Do I need a water pump for my rainwater tank?
Pumps are required for household plumbing integration or when gravity feed pressure proves insufficient. Most residential installations benefit from our multistage pump systems that maintain consistent water pressure.
Are your tanks certified to Australian standards?
All tanks meet AS/NZS 4766:2006 standards for polyethylene water storage. We provide documentation confirming compliance with Australian building codes and water quality regulations.
How do I install a rainwater tank base?
Create a level, compacted surface using crushed rock or concrete slab. Base dimensions should exceed tank footprint by 300mm on all sides. Follow our detailed installation guide for specific requirements.
What is a first flush diverter?
This device diverts the initial 10-25 litres of roof runoff away from the tank, preventing debris and contaminants from entering the water supply. We recommend installing one on every downpipe connected to your tank.
