What to do with All the Collected Water?

Using town supply water to wash your house and car is wasting expensive treated water. It is far more efficient to use rainwater. We can fit a pump to the tank and you can use that water to wash things, water the garden, etc. We can also pump the water to flush toilets and to wash clothes.

How to Reduce Your Water Bill?

When installing a large tank and you have sufficient roof area to avoid the tanks over flowing you can divert some of the water to flush the toilets or fill the washing machine or run the water to hose taps for car washing and garden irrigation.

Tank sizes go from 200 litre up to 30,000 litres in domestic sizes so we have a tank to fit all occasions. We can also put a series of smaller tanks together to fit a small space and join them together. Tanks have been used for many years on rural situations for both humans and animals. Tank water for human consumption may require treatment with water purification tablets or adding a small quantity of bleach will kill bacteria and viruses.

Emergency Water and Tank Water Purification

There are many types of filters for removing solids and harmful things in water needed for drinking. Filters of 1 micron or less will take out protozoa and bleach will kill viruses and bacteria. We can also install Ultra Violet water treatment which also kills harmful growths in water.

How long can you or your garden survive with out water?

You just might need some Emergency water whether its due to an earthquake or Water restrictions a ready source of tank water can be a life saver either for you or your garden.

It is an anticipation that if Wellington gets a big earthquake, it might result in spending around 80-90 days without water. This kind of water crisis was faced in Christchurch. It required the residents to fetch water from tankers at the end of the street, or else where after streets were cleared of debris to allow their cars to get it. Wellington has had earthquakes before and the effects of those earthquakes are well documented and are similar to the earthquakes in Christchurch.

It’s better to put an emergency water source in place before it happens, you can’t get insurance after the disaster takes place. Installing an emergency water source is not as expensive as it may sound. Some people recommend keeping 20 litres for immediate consumption but it is not enough. Assuming a family of four, Wellington Regional Council’s recommendation is 200 litres per house. This would give you 5o litres covering four days. Which is not a lot. So that’s like 12.5 litres per day.

We can supply and install a 200 litre tank next to your downpipe on level ground for $401.74 including GST. Check our emergency water storage tank deal here.

This is about the same price as buying the water at the supermarket. The water needs boiling or treating before drinking. If the ground is not leveled, we can put down a concrete tile to level the base for a small extra cost.

We have a limited supply of tanks at this price. You can contact us for a quick installation as they might not last long at this exclusive price. The tanks come complete with child-proof lids, hose taps, and a level connection to the downpipe within 300mm. We can run piping a lot further for an extra cost.
