How to Guide on Rainwater Tanks:
How much space will I need for my rainwater tank?
When deciding on a rainwater tank, you have to consider the space you have available
to put it in. The larger the space you have, the better as you can fit larger
rainwater tanks which will fit more water. However if space is an issue a connect
a slim rainwater tank will be the perfect addition to your home for those small
spaces, and will still collect a lot of water.
What colours do rainwater tanks come in?
Bailey rotomould rainwater tanks come in a wide array of colourbond colours.
Matching your new rainwater tank to your home will make all the difference,
as it becomes a pleasant part of your home and will compliment your home with
its modern design.
How long is the warranty on these rainwater tanks?
Bailey rainwater tanks come with a 10 year warranty. This 10 year warranty period
includes service of your water tank provided it is used the way it was intended.
Quality & Safety to consider with a rainwater tank?
With both our round and slimline rainwater tanks, we can guarantee you that
they are safe to have around the home. Being made from polyethylene means that
there are NO sharp edges or pieces, and the water is NOT contaminated from rusted
iron, steel or any growths which can cultivate inside the tank when exposed
to the sun. Instead our rainwater tanks are 100% Australian made and owned and
they pass all the required Australian standards. This also means that we ensure
jobs and profits stay within Australia.
What will you be using the rainwater tank for?
You will need to decide whether you want to use the rainwater tank for outside
use only (watering the garden, car washing etc) or for indoor use as well (washing
machine, flushing the toilet). Once you have decided this it will then help
you decide on the size of the rainwater tank you will need. General recommendations
are a minimum 2000L rainwater tank for toilet flushing and watering a small
garden area and a minimum 5000L rainwater tank for domestic purposes (eg toilet
flushing, washing clothes, watering gardens and car washing)
Am I eligible for a rainwater tank rebate?
Check to see if you are eligible when installing a rainwater tank to receive
a rebate. Different conditions apply in different states so it is best to contact
your local water authorities to find out what the local council, state health
department and water corporation require for you to receive the rebate.
