How can water tanks save you money and trouble?

After their initial purchase expense, water tanks can save businesses and homeowners money and hassle.  It is wise to buy good quality water tanks in the first place so that a long service life is assured.  Best quality polyethylene water tanks are relatively inexpensive when one considers the advantages.

Here are some ways in which a plastic water tank or rainwater tank can save money and trouble:

• A water tank kept full with water from your normal water supply will ensure that water is available during water supply outages (increasingly common in many towns and cities in South Africa).
• In the event of prolonged water supply outages, a good-sized water tank of 5000 litres or 10000 litres will save the homeowner from having to purchase water elsewhere and/or stand in queues to collect questionably quality water from community centres or temporary water dispensers.
• Water tanks can also be used to store rainwater – the cost savings are obvious – rainwater is free!  Depending on the roof surface area and local rainfall patterns, it may be possible to become water self-sufficient and to cut out municipal water bills all together.
• Rainwater stored in water tanks for dry season garden & lawn irrigation may save plants from dying during water restrictions.  While neighbours have to let their lawns and gardens die during water restrictions, you will be able to irrigate (legally) and keep your garden alive, potentially saving substantially amounts of money that would be needed to re-establish the lawn and garden.
• Many people do not like the taste of municipal water (and are worried about the negative effects of the municipal chemicals on health) and therefore buy bottled water.  A rainwater tank with a suitable water filtration system can provide crystal clear, healthy, tasty water for free.
• Being partially or totally water self-sufficient via the installation of rainwater tanks is priceless, especially in areas where Mains water supply is of suspect quality and unreliable.

When choosing a water tank, buy good quality, well-known brand names that offer a warranty or guaranty on the quality.
