Fresh Water Tanks
A freshwater storage tank is used to
collect and store fresh rainwater for drinking, cleaning, and mundane tasks
around the home. Due to the increasing awareness of the benefits and uses of
water tanks, fresh water tanks are becoming more common in Australian homes
every year.
Why Use a Fresh
Water Tank?
Australians are becoming increasingly
educated on the need to reduce their water consumption and what the effect of
high water consumption can have on the environment. Freshwater tanks store the
rainwater that comes down from your roof through a series of pipes, which is
then drinkable. The polyethylene material the tanks are made from keep water
free from contaminants such as algae, and certain bacteria.
The water stored in a fresh water tank
can be used:
·
To store drinkable water,
wine, and foods
·
For flushing toilets
·
Cleaning around the house
·
Hosing down the driveway or
the car
·
Watering around the garden
·
Water fights...Just kidding
there!
Benefits of
Installing a Fresh Water Tank in your Home
As you can see, there are quite a few
household tasks that can crank up the water bills. By using a fresh water tank
you benefit from a variety of plus points, some of which are:
·
Lower your water bills. Perhaps
the most rewarding benefit from installing a water tank. It stands to reason,
the less water you use that is billed for, the lower your water bills are going
to be. Just imagine all the money you could save a year from installing a fresh
water tank. With the amount of tasks and functions around the house that can
contribute to high water consumption, using the stored rainwater can
significantly lower your water consumption. With the money you save you could
put it towards a dream family vacation; the car you’ve always wanted; the
household jobs that need doing; or your child’s education.
·
Satisfaction of saving the environment.
By cutting down on the amount of water your household consumes, you’re lowering
the demand on essential local water supplies and reservoirs.
·
Lowering the risk of droughts.
Droughts are a big problem here in Australia, but with the people willing to use
rainwater around the home increasing every year, droughts are beginning to be
less frequent. This trend is set to continue into the future as new builds have
to have water storage tanks in place.
·
Water tank rebates. Another
recent government introduction is the water tank rebate. This involves all
households who have purchased and installed a water tank receiving a cash lump
sum based on the water tank they have purchased. A sum of up to $1500 is
available for these households. But the amount received depends entirely on the
area you live in. You will need to check with your local government offices to
see what amount you’re entitled to.
·
Increase house value. By
installing a water tank on your premises you’re increasing the perceived cask
value of your home. Real estate agents have been seen to add up to $5000 on the
price of a property simply because the house has a water tank in place.
