Water tanks are a wise investment, here’s why

Water tanks are bought by a diverse range of people, in urban and rural areas, for many very good reasons.

Here are some reasons why buying and installing a water tank is a good investment:

• Water tanks allow the homeowner or business to have a store of water to be used in case of water supply problems – a 5000 litre or 10000 litre water tank at a home could be made to last for many days or even weeks if sparingly used. Businesses that require more water could install a series of 15000 litre or 20000 litre tanks to ensure production is not affected by water supply cuts.
• Following from the above, having stored water on the property will save money and hassle – others without water tanks will need to either buy water or go somewhere else to shower, etc.
• If the water tanks are used for rainwater harvesting purposes, free rainwater can be directed from the building’s roof to the water storage tanks – this can drastically reduce your water bill or even eliminate it altogether in some cases. Rainwater can be used for drinking purposes if the water is appropriately filtered (to remove any contaminants that may have been picked up on the roof and gutters).
• Rainwater can be used for a number of things, including garden irrigation, washing the car, hosing down the driveway/veranda, filling the pool as well as indoor uses – laundry water, flushing toilets and drinking water (if filtered).
• Installing rainwater tanks also means investing in your local environment – rainwater harvesting reduces stormwater runoff that ends up polluting and eroding local aquatic ecosystems.
• Water tanks, correctly and professionally installed on a property, can increase the property’s market value – if you decide to sell the property, the water tanks will be a feature that will add desirability, especially if the tanks are part of a well-designed rainwater harvesting system.
• Do you like to portray a genuine ‘green’ image to your friends and neighbours? Rainwater tanks show that you care about the environment and that you take water conservation seriously.
