Are you looking for a water storage solution?
For many homes and businesses across the country, water shortages are common. Perhaps, you live away from an area not served by the public water supply? Maybe, you want a ready supply of water in a part of your property that is distant from the public road? If you cannot pipe in water from the water company, the most effective solution is to supply the water using water storage solutions, such as rainwater tanks. However, deciding to use a water storage solution like that is only the first step. You will need to determine what size the tank should be, where the rainwater tanks will be situated, and how they should be installed.
How much water storage is needed?
Do you want sufficient water storage to completely supply your home or business with water, or do you only plan to use the tank to provide a supplement to the mains supply? What will you do with the water? Is it for domestic use, watering crops or something else? One of the first things that you must do is work out how much water you use each day. Then, decide how long you want to store the water. You must also consider whether there will be sufficient rainfall to fill the tank. There is no point in installing a large water storage facility if you can never fill it.
Where will you place the tank?
Most companies offering water storage solutions will be able to offer a range of options. If you have a large property, a large underground tank could be a viable option. If your property is smaller, you might have to think about another water storage solution, such as an underfloor or under decking tank. If you are not sure where you could place a water tank on your property, talk to the supplier. They have lots of experience helping customers in a variety of situations and may be able to suggest the perfect water storage solution for you.
Installing your new tank
Most of the time, it is best for a professional installation company to set up your tank. Tanks are often large and heavy. You may not have the equipment to install one yourself, particularly if you are placing it underground and need a hole dug first. You may also need a plumber to connect the tank to your water supply if you want to use the water in your home. It is best to work out all of the installation details at the start so that when the day of the installation arrives, the process will go off without a hitch.
