Reliable Rainwater Systems
A water tank only works as well as the way it’s installed. Get the size or setup wrong and you’ll feel it straight away, either running short or dealing with pressure issues that shouldn’t be there. We help you choose a tank that actually suits your property, then set it up so it integrates properly with your plumbing from day one.
Once it’s in, we connect it where it counts, toilets, laundry and outdoor use, making sure everything runs cleanly and meets local requirements. If you’ve already got a system in place, we also handle repairs, from cracked tanks and leaking fittings to blocked filters and worn valves.
Every install or repair is done with proper drainage, overflow control and protection in mind, so you’re not dealing with avoidable issues later. Whether it’s a fresh setup or fixing an existing tank, call us, we’ll get it running the way it should.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What size water tank do I need for a household?
It depends on your intended use and local rainfall. For basic garden use, a 2,000–5,000L tank may be enough. If you’re connecting to laundry or toilets, or aiming for full rainwater supply, you may need 10,000L or more. The roof catchment area, daily usage and tank location all play a role in choosing the right size.
Can I use rainwater from a tank for drinking?
Yes, but only if the tank system is properly installed and maintained. Drinking-quality setups should include first-flush diverters, leaf filters, mosquito-proof screens and a secure, sealed tank. Water should also be tested regularly for bacteria and treated with UV or filtration systems if required. Always check local health guidelines before using tank water for drinking.
How long do water tanks last?
Most polyethylene (plastic) tanks last 20–30 years with proper care. Steel tanks may last longer, especially if they’re lined. Lifespan depends on installation quality, exposure to sunlight, surrounding vegetation and regular maintenance. Keep gutters clean, check for cracks or leaks, and ensure overflow and pump systems are working correctly.
