Using Rain Water Tanks For Your Home
SHARE

Some people use rainwater tanks in their home to collect water for drinking. This is a great way to collect water and save on your monthly bill. Most of the time, people collect from runoffs such as from rain gutters and the roof, which run into a water tank, and are stored for later use. Collecting rainwater is not only a great way to save money on water, but it is also good for the environment, as less water is required from the water and utility companies to come to your house. This rainwater can be used for bathing, drinking or cooking.

Some people prefer to be completely self-sufficient, growing their own food in a garden and creating their own power with solar energy or windmills, and those people often collect rainwater in rain barrels. Also, those that do not have access to clean water, or worry about contaminants from the city water that comes to their house. Also, using water for toilets, washing machines, and vehicle washes will save quite a bit of money, as will using it for showers, because these are the biggest users of water in your home.

Rainwater Concrete Water Tanks tanks are often constructed from concrete, galvanized steel or polyethylene. Some other materials that are sometimes used in the creation of water collection units such as rain barrels are stainless steel and fiberglass. The tanks are not transparent so that the water stored is not exposed the sun, which helps decrease algal blooms, and generally, rainwater tanks are stored above the ground in a location where clean water can easily flow into the rain barrel without many contaminants. The materials that make up these rainwater tanks are usually resistant to both chemicals and rusting.

Rainwater tanks are often covered to prevent these contaminants from getting in. That includes insects and debris as well as feces from birds and other animals. Tanks that are specifically created to store household water may be made of steel and have a liner that keeps the water from leaking out and helps to make it safe to drink and make the tank last as long as possible. Even so, water for drinking is often purified afterward to make sure, with easy home purification systems installed to run water through and make it completely safe.

Rainwater tanks are generally from about 400 liters to millions of liters for huge water storage tanks. Although it does cost a little bit to get into a water collection tank, the money that you will save will make up for it over time, so it is a sound investment. Smaller rainwater tanks may not cost as much as you think, for home use and even an inch of rain on a roof that measures about 1000 square feet, or 93 square meters can create run-off or more than 620 gallons of water. This means that you can collect a great deal of water when it rains.
