Reliable Rainwater Systems
Water tanks are a smart investment for homes, farms, gardens and rural properties. We help you choose the right size and style based on your space, usage and budget. Once installed, your tank can be connected to toilets, laundry, irrigation or used as a backup water supply—depending on your local regulations and setup preferences.

We also inspect and repair cracked tanks, faulty valves, leaking connections and blocked filters. Every system is fitted to meet council requirements and includes secure drainage, overflow and mosquito-proof screens. Whether you need a quick fix or a complete setup, we’ll make sure your tank is safe, clean and working efficiently.
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.
