- A rainwater tank is installed alongside your house, in your garden, underground or under decking.
- Rain falls from the sky.
- The rainwater flows from the roof into the guttering, and then into a downpipe.
- Depending on the size of the tank, one or multiple downpipes are diverted to the rainwater tank.
- The water pours into the top of the tank through a mesh filter screen.
- When the tank is full the overflow feeds back into the existing stormwater system.
- The water is stored until needed.
- Water can be gravity fed from your tank onto the garden.
- Alternatively a pressure pump can be used to pump pressurised water to garden taps or into the house for toilet flushing and laundry use.
