Save Water on Your Property
On larger blocks and rural properties, water use isn’t just about convenience, it’s about making what you have last. A properly set up tank system gives you more control over supply, whether it’s for household use, gardens, livestock or backup during dry periods.
We design and install systems that suit the way your property actually runs. That might mean increasing storage capacity, improving pump performance or connecting your tank to key areas like irrigation and outbuildings. It’s all about making sure water is where you need it, when you need it.
If you’re relying on tank water or looking to upgrade your setup, get in touch with our team and we’ll help you make it work harder for your property.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How do I choose the right size water tank for my property?
Choosing the right size water tank depends on your roof catchment area, average rainfall, available space and how the stored water will be used. If the tank is intended for garden irrigation only, a smaller capacity may be sufficient. If it will supply toilets, laundry or other internal fixtures, a larger tank may be required. Assessing household demand and intended use helps determine a size that balances storage capacity with practical space considerations.
Do I need council approval to install a water tank?
Council approval requirements vary depending on the size, location and type of installation. Smaller residential tanks may not require formal approval if they meet local placement and plumbing guidelines. However, larger tanks, installations connected to internal plumbing or systems involving pumps may require compliance with local regulations. Checking current council requirements before installation helps avoid delays or compliance issues.
Can a water tank be connected to household plumbing?
Yes, a water tank can be connected to certain household plumbing fixtures, typically toilets, laundry taps and outdoor irrigation systems. This requires proper plumbing connections and, in many cases, a pump to maintain adequate water pressure. Backflow prevention measures are also important to ensure stored water does not contaminate mains supply. Professional installation ensures the system operates safely and efficiently.
