Rainwater collection
Rainwater tanks, traditionally an icon of the Australian outback, are becoming a more common feature in urban communities, with around 26% of all households installing a tank on their property. Rainwater tanks also have an important role in managing and treating stormwater quality in our cities.

Nylex SLR2000Nylex Water SolutionsWhy use rainwater?
- Using rainwater can reduce your water bills as rainwater is free.
- Collecting rainwater allows you to be prepared for times of low rainfall, so you can still maintain your garden, especially if there are water restrictions in your area.
- Capturing rainwater reduces the load on stormwater systems because roof runoff is not flushed into the drains.
- Using rainwater reduces the need to build more water storage dams, which may have to be situated in environmentally sensitive areas.
Benefits of installing a rainwater tank
- Saves large amounts of water which can be used in the garden or in the home.
- Requires a relatively simple system which is easy to use.
- During the wet season, when the garden doesn't need any extra watering, rainwater can be connected to the house and used for toilet flushing as well as in the laundry.
- Rainwater is also suitable for use in pools and for washing cars.
- In some rural areas, it is possible to use rainwater for all domestic uses, and not draw upon the mains supply.
