21.01.2022 The location of a tank can affect how effectively the family captures the rainwater. It may be disastrous to spend a token on a long-lasting tank with proper fittings only to get things wrong on the location phase. An ideal location lets the tank fill by gravity. The gravity factor helps the natural flow of water from the roof, through the gutters and into the tank. The ideal location is below the collection surface (roof surface). Exposure to sunlight Depending on the type o...f tank, also consider the exposure to the sun. Tanks are best kept in a shaded area to protect the tanks from UV damage. Storing the tanks away from direct sunlight ensures that the water temperature can be kept at a stable level. The homeowner will not have to worry about the water being too hot due to constant exposure only to reverse to cold water once the sun sets. Temporary roofs or a nearby tree can provide adequate shade. The intended location of the tank usually affects the kind of base that will be used. Some locations do not even need a base reinforcement before the tank is placed. Soft grounds or areas that are too close to the house’s own floor-footing usually require extra reinforcement. Without a proper reinforcement, the tank may marginally sink into the floor and this can be catastrophic for the installed pipes. This is how pumps, gutters and adjoining connectors fail. Figuring out the best material or the base of your tank The most common and reliable bases for a heavy water tank are the timber frame bases and the concrete base. The timber frame base is used in a flat, but grassy or plain soil area, whereas the concrete base is used when there is another concrete surface that is not perfectly flat. Here are some extra considerations to make to ensure that you are on the right path. The Timber Frame Base When installing a timber frame base, the area needs to go through some extra compacting. A filling may be placed before the timber frames come. The frame may take the shape of the tank such that a round tank needs a round base. The timber pieces have to be treated to avoid warping over time. A width of 150mm is strong enough to sustain the weight of a very big tank, having in mind that there is sand-filling or a crusher dust below the timber. Installing a concrete base A concrete base is more reliable than a timber base. A concrete slab needs some extra allowance beyond the footprint of the tank as concrete is known to crumble around the ages over time. A wide base is perfect for dispersing the weight of the tank over the floor surface and provides extra stability. A super-strength slab usually has a steel mesh skeleton placed before a concrete mixture is poured. All bases should be examined to ensure they are completely flat.

19.01.2022 Why Test My Water For Coliforms? Coliforms are biological indicators of fecal pollution, present where disease causing pathogens are found. Safe Drinking Water Objectives in most jurisdictions require an absence of coliforms per 100ml of drinking water. The WaterCheck test kit is an easy, effective way to check if your families drinking water meets this objective. ... Principle WaterCheck is based on the unique ability of coliform bacteria to utilize specialized nutrients and reagents to form a distinctive blue-green colour. The presence or absence of a single cfu of coliform/E.coli in water is an international standard measure to determine safe drinking water. If the water sample is contaminated with just a single cfu, a visible blue-green colour will develop. Instructions 1. Run tap water for 2 to 3 minutes. Tear perforated strip and open bag by pulling white tabs. Fill bag with water, up to the fill line (Approximately 100 ml). Do not touch inside of bag. 2. Remove excess air and roll bag four or five times around wire strip. Bend wires to seal. 3. Remove divider clip. Mix powder into water until completely dissolved (10 to 30 seconds). 4. Place bag out of the children's reach and let sit for two to three days at room temperature. OBSERVE COLOUR: Yellow: No Coliforms detected. Blue/Green: Water may be unsafe to drink. Coliform bacteria often originate from non sewage sources, and do not necessarily, but may, imply a health hazard, contact your local Health unit.

10.01.2022 Many people accept the idea that it is beneficial to have rain water tanks as a backup plan for the City’s mains water supply. The tricky part comes when it is time to choose between steel and poly water tanks. For many starter families, the process of choosing the proper tank for their needs can be an overwhelming task with so many variables. Here are some tips that a family can consider in order to make the most suitable pick for their needs. Cross check the available space... The available space will always determine the type of tank that can be bought. Slimline designs are only available in the poly tanks range. It is possible to make Slimline designs because moulds are used, quite unlike the manufacture of steel tanks where sheets are rolled up and joined together. A buyer needs to examine the available floor space and select a tank that occupies a very small footprint but can store a lot of water. A steel tank is not a good option where the intended location is a squeezed space in between two walls. Consider the preferred location of the tank Where do you plan to locate the tank? Sometimes, the only available location is somewhere that is always visible or right next to a frequently used walkway. If the tank is always going to be seen, then a buyer should look for tanks that have high aesthetic value. Think about the designs that will look good, but those that will not stand out too much. Lately, landscapers recommend sleek and compact design tanks even though personal preferences are likely to rule in this case. Have you ever wondered where someone draws the line between personal preference and practicality. Some Slimline tanks can function as partitions because they closely resemble walls. In many cases, a homeowner can install a rainwater tank without anybody realizing that the new addition is a tank. Some of the tanks can work well as yard or parking bay partitions. Always consider their sustainability and durability Steel is a very long lasting material and can be corrosion resistant if it is coated with a galvanizing material such as zinc or a Colorbond finish. Steel can be completely recycled once someone feels that the tank is not going to be used any more. It is a good pick if environmental aspects are considered. Poly tanks also have adequate corrosion protection, but it is difficult to recycle Poly tanks. A steel rainwater tank will give people the needed strength, extra UV protection alongside good corrosion protection. This means a homeowner can have the best of both worlds with a coated steel tank. One solution may work better in one home but not be a perfect solution in another home. Before making a purchase, you should go thorough a list of priority needs and consider the factors such as space, aesthetics, cost and sustainability to come up with the best solution.
