Types of Rainwater Tanks in Ballarat

When deciding to move towards using rainwater in your home, there are many options, depending on the level of rainwater integration you want. You can only use rainwater for some appliances, more commonly watching machines and toilets, or you can go 100% and connect your whole plumbing system to a huge water tank. To help you wrap your head around the options, we have made a quick breakdown below by material:

Plastic Rainwater Tanks

Stainless Steel Rainwater Tanks

One of the most economical options, plastic water tanks are the most wide-spread out of all of them. These tanks come in a large array of different sizes and can be easily adapted to different properties. If possible, keep your plastic tank in the shade. Plastic tanks are ideal if you live near the coast where the air is saltier.

As you can already guess by the material, these tanks are made to be very durable and last for a long time. They are also easy to repair and adaptable to different properties. Whether you have a suburban home or a larger rural hobby farm, these are a great choice.

Concrete Rainwater Tanks

Other Options

These tanks are usually placed under ground and are suitable for rural properties as nowadays suburbia won’t really allow for enough garden space to bury a big tank underground. However, when talking about durability, this option has the longest lifespan out of them all.

These options are just the main three, and more suitable for family homes and private properties. There are more options available that are more suitable for farms and industrial properties. If you need help choosing the best optimal water tank for you, get in touch with Plumbers Ballarat and we will gladly help out with the decision and will gladly do the whole installation for you.
