As more and more Australians look for ways to reduce their impact on the environment, rainwater tanks are becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable solution to water usage. Read on to discover our top 5 benefits of installing a rainwater tank.
Better for the Environment
Rainwater tanks are filled up with rain which reduces the pressure on waterways and lessens the chance of flooding. With more people installing rainwater tanks, there is also more water available in dams and reservoirs for when needed during the dry season.
Lower Water Bill Costs
By using your rainwater tank for tasks such as flushing toilets, gardening, showering, washing the car and laundry, you can greatly reduce your reliance on the mains water supply and lower your water bills.
Available in Different Sizes
Rainwater tanks come in many sizes to suit the size of your family and individual needs. This can include slimline tanks that sit above ground and underground tanks for small backyards.
No Water Restrictions
When water restrictions come into play during the dry season, you can continue to freely use your rainwater tank to complete all of the chores you need to do, such as watering plants and doing multiple loads of washing.
Potential Rebates
In South-East Queensland, you may be eligible for a rebate of up to $1000 for rainwater tanks, pumps and diverters, and the installation of them. If your tank is internally plumbed to a cold water laundry tap or toilet, this could increase to $1500.
