We love tank water.
If its for drinking: Then make sure you have a first flush system installed. ( will add links as necessary ) If installing from scratch, make sure you get a good quality pump. We had a wicked one, cant remember name...either Onga or Davey ( think it was Davey ) I actually found a link cpl years ago, to a kiwi fella who designed a ball valve system for your tank. Essentially, instead of drawing water from the bottom of tank ( as is 99.99999% ) of systems, and thats where sediment site, his system, has a floating waterpipe, on a ball valve within the tank, so you actually pull off the cleanest water. Having said that, due to the fact tanks dont let in UV, the water doesnt degrade Theres a formula for working out the size of tank you need. ( will get link ) Attached 2 images, annual rainfall, and average usage table: Mean average rainfall ( from BOM ) Brisbane 950mm Sydney 1,215mm Canberra 618mm Melbourne 650mm Hobart 618mm Darwin 1,705mm Adelaide 553mm Perth 758mm The amount of rainwater you can collect is dependant on a number of factors including:
One millimeter of rain falling on one square metre of roof (1m x 1m) will collect one litre of water. To make this calculation work you need to understand how much rainfall you are likely to receive in your area per annum. So. For the sake of this calculation let�s assume you live in Brisbane and your house has a 200 square metre roof area. Therefore the calculation becomes 200 (roof surface area) x 950 (mean average rainfall for Brisbane) = 190,000 (potential amount of water in litres captured by your roof over a 12 month period). Assuming you will have one down pipe feeding into your tank, the last part of this equation is to divide 190,000L by 4 (assuming you have four down pipes serving the roof and all provide an equal supply of rainwater) = 47,500L.
