When should I install my tank?

The best time to install a rainwater tank is when you don’t need it. Fitting your tank at the beginning of your wet season will ensure that you have as much water as possible to sustain you during the dry season.

How should I maintain my tank?

Remember that ‘prevention is better than the cure’, so keep your gutters free from debris with a range of devices or just by cleaning them out regularly. The tank itself needs regular external inspections for leaks and an internal inspection for sludge every few years. This can be dangerous so contact a professional if you need help doing this.
