Designing A Water Storage System:

Harvesting rain isn’t as simple as just putting a tank on your property and waiting for the sky to do the rest. Step one of an efficient water storage system is sourcing products that help prevent leaves and other debris from making themselves at home on your roof and in the water you catch. You’ll then want to look into floats and level monitoring devices so you can keep an eye on your rain water capture system. After that you’ll probably need a pump to move things about within your water storage system, and if you’re intending on drinking the water you harvest, you’ll definitely need advanced filtration for it. Then of course, once everything is set up, you’ll need a mechanism to purge the first round of water collected, as it’ll often be quite dirty. And that’s just for home systems…

Those looking to establish a water storage system for their farm also need to factor in troughs, irrigation needs, transportation of the harvested water throughout paddocks, and more.

In other words, you’ll probably want expert assistance if you’ve never designed a water storage system before, as it’s nowhere near as simple as just getting a tank and/or trough and calling it a day.

 

Water Tanks For Aussie Homes:

The required complexity level of a tank setup in an Aussie home depends on what the water captured will be used for. As a general rule your home water storage system can be sorted into either in-home use or garden maintenance, however it is always wise to confirm with your local Irrigear Independent Expert that the type of rain harvesting setup you’re looking to install is suitable for your needs.

Tanks For Use Within The Home

Water tanks that will capture rain for use within the home tend to require the most complex type of residential setup. This is because in addition to capturing the rain that falls on your roof, your system will also need to feed it throughout the home and ensure that it is of suitable quality to protect your family from diseases and contaminants.

This requires the use of a water filtration and purification system alongside your water storage system in order to ensure that there are no harmful bacteria or cysts in your water.

 

Water Tanks For Garden Maintenance

Water tanks that will be used purely for garden maintenance have much lower water quality requirements than those that will supply your home. While you’ll still want to exercise caution if you’re going to be watering a veggie patch or other consumables, a water tank that serves simply to irrigate your lawn and flowerbeds can have a much simpler setup. You’ll still want a pump in order to move things about, and you’ll need to consider how you’ll deliver your rainwater to each area of your yard, but factors such as UV sterilisation generally do not need to be considered in this instance.

 

Water Storage Systems For Farms:

Water storage systems for farms tend to be configured on a much larger scale and present a significantly more complex application than those designed for domestic use. They also commonly require physical filtration as a minimum. This is because any debris or contaminants within the water will reduce flow within the system, which can lead to partial or complete blockage over time – especially when the water has to travel a significant distance – and livestock don’t particularly want to be drinking dirt.

Tanks For Crop Irrigation

Tanks can be an integral part of large scale crop irrigation by providing a practical way of balancing water use and application cycles. The right use of tanks can even out water demand, may reduce the size and number of pumps required and can allow targeted application to take place in specific timeframes. This sort of engineered and custom-made design is something your local Irrigear Independent Expert is very skilled at.

Firefighting Tank Setups

Many Irrigear Independent Experts are also equipped to assist you in designing your firefighting setup. With firefighting pumps, sprinklers and attachments available in addition to a range of tanks and water storage systems, your closest team has the local knowledge and right products to help you protect what’s yours.

Troughs For Livestock Watering

Tanks aren’t the only water storage systems you can acquire from your local Irrigear store. Most also supply and install a range of troughs for livestock watering, so if you’re chasing the best water trough options for your livestock, your local experts can make that happen. They’ll also be able to connect your troughs to your tank system to greatly reduce the chances of your animals running out of water and can design a setup that suits everyone (and everything) on the farm.

Water Tanks For Farmsteads

The water tank requirements for farmsteads are essentially in line with those for Aussie homes that do not reside on a farm. This means that filtration will be required for any water that will be used indoors, with farmsteads often presenting with more complex pumping needs due to the potential for tanks to be further from the home. Your local Irrigear Independent Expert recognises that water tanks for farmsteads are often part of a wider water storage network on the property and can design a system that integrates seamlessly.

 

Specialty Water Storage Systems:

If your water storage needs are more specialised, there’s a solid chance that your local Irrigear Independent Expert can assist with that too. Examples of specialty water storages systems available throughout the network include tanks for effluent and contaminated water, septic tanks, sprayer tanks and more. Reach out to your local store to discuss your needs.
