Types of Rainwater Tanks in Bendigo

When choosing a rainwater tank for your property, the first question you should answer is if you will connect the whole house to the rainwater tank, or just a few selected appliances in the laundry. This answer already determines the scope of the project, and what size tank you should be considering. 
The next thing to consider is the material of your water tank, there are many options available - plastic, aquaplate, to steel and fiberglass and concrete.
Below we will bring out the three main options:

Plastic Rainwater Tanks

Stainless Steel Rainwater Tanks

One of the most popular choices, plastic tanks come in a variety of sizes and can easily suit any residential property. Because plastic is unaffected by salt, these tanks are the best choice in coastal areas.

This is the happy medium between high quality and long lifetime, versus being adaptable to any property. Just like plastic tanks, stainless steel water tanks come in in a lot of different sizes, but they have a longer life span and are easier to repair.

Concrete Rainwater Tanks

Alternative options

Concrete tanks have the longest lifespan out of them all, however they are not as flexible when it comes to fitting them into small urban properties. Concrete tanks are usually placed underground, so your property will need to have enough space to hold a large underground tank. This is why we recommend this as the best option for rural households with enough land.
