Rainwater System Harvesting

Rainwater system harvesting is a set up used to collect rainwater so that it can be used for jobs that do not require potable drinking water. During the dry spell in Australia there is severe restriction on the supply of water. By collecting rainwater and using it for tasks that do not require potable drinking water the dependency on the mains water supply can be reduced by nearly 70% as a result of which there can be a great reduction in monthly water bill as well.

Rainwater collection tanks can be installed above or below the ground they are available in different kind of shapes, sizes and materials to meet all kind of rural or urban requirement. Rainwater harvesting system has proved to be very beneficial for irrigation as well. Generally we use water from the mains supply in our day to day life but if you analyze your requirement carefully you would notice that household task such as flushing toilets washing clothes, watering garden and lawns washing cars etc does not require potable drinking water. It actually makes no sense wasting the water from the mains supply for these jobs.

By installing rainwater tank for all these purposes you can actually reduce the consumption of water from mains water supply by up to 70% and you can very well imagine how the water bill amount will reduce drastically. Thus by installing rainwater harvesting system not only you save a lot of water but also a lot of money. If you are planning to install rainwater system harvesting in your home or office you must first clearly identify your requirement. Your requirement for rainwater storage would depend upon how water you use on daily basis and the rainfall pattern in your region. Ideally if rainfall patterns are quite frequent in your area then you need not purchase a very big tank as it will get refilled in regularly. You can consult a professional plumber and also visit your local council to understand what kind of tank to purchase and what rebate you would get on purchase of rainwater tanks.

Always purchase good quality rainwater tank and accessories. The tank should be robust enough to withstand the pressure of water and should not collapse. There should be no scope of water leakage or evaporation. While purchasing the rainwater tank conduct a survey about the features of the tank. What quality standards were followed while manufacturing, what kind of guarantee is offered by the manufacturer how is it better than other rainwater tanks etc. The other rainwater collection components should also be made up of good quality material and should not pass bad odor, bad taste, contaminants or toxic components to the water. If the catchment area or the piping system of the rainwater collection system is painted then you must ensure that it will not pass any kind of toxic components to the water.

Always get the entire set up installed by a licensed plumber and ensure that the plumber tests the entire system thoroughly before leaving. Once the rainwater harvesting system has been installed you must regularly inspect the system and pay attention to the maintenance of the system.
