How we can help

In today’s world, it is important to try and reduce our water usage as much as we can. This is not only beneficial for the environment but will reduce your water bill and save you money.

If you’re thinking of installing a Water Tank in your home, our Master Plumbers can maximise the amount of rainwater your tank captures by properly inspecting your roof and pipes to determine the best location for your tank and how to best design your rainwater tank system. The aim is for the tank to connect with as much of the downpipes and roof area as possible, so that the tank catches more rainwater.

The benefits of installing a Water Tank in your home:

• Minimise water usage when using the toilet, laundry or garden
• Reduce the harm to our water ways caused by too much storm water.
• Reduce the strain on your stormwater run-off system
• Reduce your water bills
• Lessen the need to build reservoirs (saving valuable land)
• Lesson the cost on maintaining pipelines, dams and treatment facilities.

This is a win-win-win, as you will be able to turn on a renewable resource to supply water to your home, reduce your water bills and reduce your environmental impact.

Another reason people consider installing a rainwater tank is the savings associated with collecting and storing rainwater. It is not just the cost of mains water that increases every year, it is the cost of maintaining the infrastructure that delivers water to the home. Pipes, valves and pumps all need to be maintained to deliver a continual supply of mains water.

Households generally use mains water everyday for watering gardens, flushing toilets and washing clothes, if you have a water tank, then all these day-to-day activities could be using free rainwater. You can have beautiful looking gardens and lawns using water that won’t cost you a cent once the water tank is installed. Every time it rains you collect and use.

It’s important to remember that precautions need to be taken in delivering the water to the tank and storing the rainwater in the tank, as chemicals are not used to maintain water quality. Essendon Plumbing Services can help prevent leaves and debris from entering the tank by installing first flush and screen filters, as well as gutter protection when the rainwater tank is installed. You can also prevent animals from entering your tank by maintaining closed entry and exit points and follow the manufacturers recommendations regarding routine maintenance and cleaning of water tanks.
