WATER TANK STORAGE

RAINWATER TANKS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA (WA)

Rainwater is one of our most priceless natural resources, ( even more so here in Perth, Western Australia) which has been the case for hundreds of years.

The quantity of rain water accumulated will fluctuate depending upon area, and the water storage process being used.

A large number of rural houses are obliged to source most of their water on their property, with rain water often proving to be a better quality answer than standard household supply, or from a dam, bore or river.

A huge factor of any rain collection system is the technique whereby the water is literally collected.

RAIN WATER ROOF AND GUTTER (DRY) HARVESTING TECHNIQUE

Most roofs could be used for rain water collection, however you need to remember the angle of the pipe may need to change depending upon the distance between the tank and the roof.

The style of water consumption will determine the required quality level of the collection method. A consumption example of a reduced quality water collection system would be for irrigating your yard or grass, or saving water for fire fighting purposes.

Despite this being a low level example, you still need to make certain the system does not include unsealed asbestos, that vegetation is not hanging over the roof, and the utilisation of leaf screens on rain gutters.

For higher quality consumption demands, for instance, drinking water, you will need to stay away from segments of roof consisting of lead flashing or asbestos sheeting, and steer clear of roofs painted with pre 1980 paint.

Underground (Wet) Water Harvesting Method

This type of water collection will be implemented around the boundary of your residence, with the water being carried below ground via a collection of PVC pipes to your water storage unit.

When employing this type of water collection system, it is vital that the pipes are screened with a non-corrosive screen of not over 1m aperture.

A “wet” system can be converted to a “dry” one making use of in ground water diverters which would boost the water quality and saving.

Your water tank site preparation needs may also be a factor when deciding which system is best for your.
