Fair Trading has received more than 90 complaints from consumers who have bought water tanks or paid deposits and where the tanks have not been supplied.
Installing a rainwater tank can save valuable drinking water and reduce the amount of stormwater leaving your property. Rainwater tanks store rainwater run-off from catchment areas like your roof. The water from your roof is funnelled along your gutters and into downpipes connected to your tank.
The larger the roof catchment area connected to your tank, the greater the water savings. By connecting the rainwater tank to the toilet and washing machine you can maximise the amount of money and water saved.
