A rainwater tank can be a great investment as it can save you money and also reduce your reliance on mains water. After you get the tank installed, you may wonder what you ever did without one! Here’s some great information about rainwater tank installation.

When you are having the tank installed, the professional will need to make sure that everything is up to scratch – this includes the roof, guttering, downpipes and so on. The tank itself will be installed on a suitable level base (usually compacted sand or concrete depending on the type of tank). The installer is capable of installing tanks of any size or material (poly, concrete, bladder, metal, and so on). As well as the tank itself, the installer will install the pump and any other accessories that you have chosen for the tank – outlet taps, filters and so on. The installer can also plumb the rainwater tank so that the water goes where you want it to – for watering the garden, or for flushing toilets, or whatever else you need.

Rainwater tanks are most commonly installed by a qualified, licensed, and insured plumber. Also, many rainwater tank companies will provide a complete service that includes the supply, installation and maintenance of rainwater tanks. The installer will follow all of the necessary codes and regulations when installing the tank, and they can also help you to obtain permits for your new tank if necessary (especially if it’s a large tank).
