Water tanks are available for use in both residential and commercial properties. You can have either above or below ground water tanks and there are multiple holding capacities - ranging from 100 litres to 10,000 litres.
It’s becoming increasingly popular to own a water tank to collect rainwater and there are many benefits and advantages for you to enjoy.
Having a water tank in your home is an excellent way to ensure that you are not dependent on traditional sources to get enough water for your needs. The benefits of owning a water tank extend beyond financial and environmental, to offering you the ultimate peace of mind that you will always have a sufficient water supply to suit you and your household’s needs.
Let’s take a look at some of the specific benefits you can expect from owning a water tank:
Reducing Home And Energy Bills
Relying on standard water sources can become expensive and you may have noticed an increase in your water bill in recent years. If you have significant water needs or have noticed an increase in your water usage due to factors such as working from home, a water tank may help to reduce your bills significantly.
Owning a water tank gives you the option to reduce your water consumption from your standard water supplier whilst still using them as and when you need. Using your own water supply to fulfill some of your water needs can help to reduce your monthly bills.
Alongside saving money on monthly bills, you may also benefit from an increase in your property value if you install your own water tank. Any initial purchasing and installation costs of owning a water tank can quickly pay for themselves when it comes to selling your home.
Less Waste
By owning a water tank you will instantly be able to reduce your waste. A water tank is an excellent way to capture any rainwater that would otherwise simply go to waste. Many people who own a water tank also find that they become much more conscious of their water usage as they gain a clearer idea of exactly what they are using and how much water they have access to.
Protecting The Environment
By conserving water (that would otherwise be wasted) in a water tank in your home, you can help to reduce the strain on traditional water supplies. Collecting rainwater in a water tank has a positive impact on the environment and allows you to use this naturally occurring water for your day to day needs.
You can protect the environment by using the water collected in your water tank for a wide range of uses including:
● Cleaning the externals of your home
● Watering your plants
● Flushing your toilets
A Water Supply Alternative
As climate change and environmental issues such as droughts become more and more prevalent, we can expect to see more government imposed restrictions such as hose pipe bans.
For homes with multiple occupants or for people who require increased water usage, owning a water tank can help to solve a number of water supply issues. Often using the supply from a water tank in addition to the standard water supply source can help to lessen dependence and reduce bills.
A key benefit of owning a water tank is that there will be a ready supply of water for you that can last for days, depending on the size of the tank and the water you consume. The developments in design and technology of water tanks mean that there are multiple options to suit different sized households on different budgets and with different needs.
