Water Tanks Prices

The advantages of a water tank

With an affordable water tank hooked up to your home’s gutter system, you can catch all the rainwater and have water readily available. Here are some advantages:

Save water and money – water tanks can be used to clean the house, water the lawn, supply the dishwasher and washing machine, wash your car and windows, and fill water reservoirs. This implies that your water meter and subsequent water bill won’t be adding up the liters!

Different shapes and sizes – if you do not have a lot of garden space to store your water, you will be glad to know they come in a variety of shapes and sizes that are slim enough to fit into any space.

Environmentally friendly – using tank water entails conserving resources and utilising the rainwater that is readily accessible to us!

Factors affecting water tank prices

Quality – although water tanks generally look the same, there is a big difference when it comes to quality. This refers to the wall thickness, extra fittings, type of polyethylene, the reinforcement design, inner linings and quality of raw materials used.

Where you reside – your proximity will affect water tank prices due to various reasons, i.e. distance from the manufacturer or distributor of water tanks, local demand, wealth, and retailer competition.

Retail chain – if you buy directly from the supplier, the cost of the water tank will be much lower than if you buy from an agent. The price may be inflated if there is a long chain of agents, distributors, regional retailers, and local stores before the tank is delivered to the customer.

Extras that can be bought with your water tank

The majority of tanks come with the essential components, but depending on how you intend to use the tank, you can also purchase a variety of extras.

Water tank stand – you will want to elevate your water tank. You can either buy a steel stand for your tank, otherwise a concrete slab will do the same job.

Taps – you get different types of taps (all at different costs) – plastic, nickel and solid brass (lockable).Nickel and solid brass taps require a 40/20mm reducer to be fitted at the bottom of your tank.

Pre-filters – these filters help improve the quality of the water that is collected. Following the first rains of the season, a filter eliminates the debris that is often present in the water. This is crucial for all types of rainwater collection in order to avoid sludge buildup and needless maintenance.

Pipes and gutters – when considering a water tank, your installer may suggest you upgrade your gutters for a better (and often cleaner) flow of water. You will also need to consider the type of piping you would like to have installed.

Pumps – pumps can keep the tanks’ pressure at the proper level, especially if they are linked to many taps. If you’re using the water for laundry or the toilets and the tank levels are too low, pumps can also automatically switch to your mains supply.
