Water tank installation in houses has become a popular and successful ways of preserving water. What other best way of fighting water scarcity could be there in Australia than preserving the rainwater that goes waste when not stored. It has been seen in recent years that installation of rainwater tanks in Australian houses has increased but it would work out to be good only when they are installed properly. Water tanks are available in very neat and appealing shapes and sizes that are no more an eye sore for the house. They are manufactured in a neat fashion that would go well with the structure of the house. As these waters tanks are made using a variety of materials, anything can be selected to meet your requirements and the exterior of the house. These water tanks are available in different colours as well making it even simpler for the customers to match it well with their house and garden.
Water tanks are usually installed alongside houses near in the building or in the garden. There are even other underground or under decking ways of having a water tank installed, that is much simpler and neat. Whatever the method be, the most important thing that one should keep in mind while installing a tank is to check the quality of the water tank and the experience the installer has. The water tank that is installed would serve the purpose only when it is installed properly.
All the water that falls as rain on the roof of the house would be collected from the roof into the gutter and the down pipes that are installed underground. The number and size of the down pipes that need to be installed would depend on the size of the water tank that is installed. The water tank dealer would be able to suggest on the size of the water tank that would required for the house to collect all the rain water that would be collected on the roof based on the area of the roof. All the water this collected from the roof would be filtered by having it passed through a mesh filter screen that would be installed. The filtered rainwater collected in the water tank can be used for domestic purposes and can be stored until used. When there is extended rainfall, the water tank that is installed might become full but that would not be a problem as the excess water would overflow and be collected in the storm water system that would also be installed along with the water tank.
Once enough water is accumulated, the water collected can be gravity fed from the tank and pumped into the outer pipes in the garden or for indoor usage for flushing toilets and even for washing clothes. As maintenance required for the water tank is very less and as rain water does not cost you anything, having a water tank installed would be of great use and cost effective. The only thing that should be done regularly is to clean the roof regularly so that do dirt or insects are stuck in the pipes blocking the water flow. Having this installation done by a licensed plumber would even avail a rebate for the consumer from the government.

We have been hearing from the water tank dealers since August 2008 that we are to anticipate a rise in the cost of the water tanks and rainwater tanks.

Advances in technology and design mean that Bushranger Water Tanks are now more low maintenance and flexible than ever.
We have applied recent innovations to all of our products in order to give our company a class-leading edge in the water tank industry.
The dual access hatches on our urban and rural watertanks give you more flexibility during installation. Dual access also makes maintenance much easier, allowing the water tank to be accessed without disturbing the existing pipe-work.
The flow-through barrel filter is another groundbreaking innovation which solves the most common problem associated with water tanks: blockages. It works by diverting water to the overflow if the filter becomes blocked, meaning less maintenance costs and no risk of flooding.
Our clever reversible inlet/overflow (RIO) filtration system combines a traditional basket filter with Bushranger’s flow-through barrel filter. It means that a combination of several downpipes can be connected to the same water tank if required. It also means that pipes can be positioned to allow for the best possible drainage.
Ease of use, more options with the positioning of watertanks, less maintenance costs and more effective water saving are the hallmarks of Bushranger’s class-leading new innovations.
Add to that our huge range of sizes, styles and colours, and you are sure to find the perfect watertanks for your home With Bushranger Water Tanks.
We have outlets all over Australia so call us today on 1300 658 117 for your nearest location.
