Water Retention Tanks

Auckland plumbers, Topline Trade Services are the team to help with rainwater collection solutions; today’s environmentally smart, water saving method.

With Auckland’s current water crisis creating water restrictions outdoors, rainwater harvesting is the eco smart choice, allowing you freedom to use water outside as you please, such as garden irrigation. Some water tanks can even help to reduce the cost of water indoors by making use of grey or wastewater.

Water conservation has always been a hot topic and there are increasingly more ways to economise water savings by collecting rainwater. Water retention tanks are a perfect solution for rainwater collection in urban areas as they can be customised to meet your specific needs. Harvesting rainwater not only saves you money on your water bill, it also makes your water go further during periods of drought.

So how do rainwater tanks work?

Rainwater tanks are installed close to the catchment area and connected to the downpipe system. Any rainwater is then diverted and harvested in the tank. Rainwater harvesting systems can be as basic or as elaborate as you require. Collecting water for irrigation, washing vehicles, and sprinkler systems requires a simple rainwater tank installation that can be tailored to suit your home.

More complex water tank installations can be plumbed in for grey water and waste water use in laundries and toilets. These can be connected to mains pressure pumps which enables either manual or automatic switching from rainwater to metered water should the tank run dry. Strainers can also be installed at the entrance to the tank to filter rainwater before it is collected.

Our team have successfully installed these water tanks across Auckland to many happy customers. You can read about a water harvesting in our residential showcases, or simply get in touch and one of our expert team are more than happy to help!
