Water Tanks Sunshine Coast: Quality Installation and Service

The material you choose really depends on your circumstances and needs. Poly water tanks are cost-effective, sturdy, and easily installed, while metal tanks, though more expensive, can be easily made to measure and are ideal for areas prone to bushfires.

Yes. Cleaning the inside of your tank is important, but it’s just as crucial to maintain its exterior. The better maintained your tank is, the better the quality of the water it holds. Look after your tank by:

• Trimming any overhanging branches or plants
• Removing leaves and debris in your roof catchment
• Inspect and clear your gutters
• Install a reliable gutter guard and screen to prevent the build-up of debris in your gutters and downpipe

You’ll be pleased to know that when water is stored right, it can be kept in a tank almost indefinitely. This is provided, of course, that it’s stored under the right conditions. Any clean water must be stored in a dark, cool tank, not directly on a concrete surface, and with no substances or chemicals nearby. It’s also recommended that water is rotated occasionally to reassure you of its quality.

Collecting and storing water carries so many benefits, and generally, the more you collect and store the better. You will, however, usually be limited by the amount of rain falling in your area, the size of your collection surface, and the size of your tank. Keeping your tank full will ensure you have thousands of litres stored on your property for your use.
