RAINWATER STORAGE TANKS

North Shore Plumbing Group have experience in planning, installing and maintaining rainwater storage tanks so that you can reduce your mains water usage.

Why store rainwater?

Rainwater harvesting is one of the smartest ways to reduce your mains water usage and protect your home against Sydney’s changing weather patterns. With the right system in place, you can:

Save money on water bills by using free rainwater.

Reduce strain on Sydney’s water supply.

Protect your property by diverting stormwater away from foundations.

Live more sustainably with an eco-friendly water source.

Add value to your home with a modern, efficient water system.

Ways to store rainwater

Rainwater can be stored in different types of tanks depending on your space and property needs:

Above-ground tanks – the most common and cost-effective option.

Slimline tanks – perfect for tight spaces or side access areas.

Underground tanks – ideal when you want to save yard space or keep the system hidden.

Bladder tanks – installed under decks or floors where traditional tanks don’t fit.

We’ll help you choose the right size and type of tank to suit your property and water usage.

What can rainwater be used for?

Rainwater can be connected to a variety of household and garden systems, including:

Garden irrigation and lawns

Toilets and laundry

Car washing and outdoor cleaning

Swimming pools and spas

General household use when combined with treatment and filtration systems

Seamless supply: pumps & rain-to-mains systems

To make sure you never run out of water, we install tanks with:

Pumps – to deliver water at the right pressure where you need it.

Rain-to-mains switches (or aqua flow valves) – so when your tank runs dry, the system automatically switches to mains water with no downtime.

Smart controllers – for efficient water management and usage monitoring.

This ensures your household has a reliable supply of water at all times.

Keeping your rainwater clean

To maintain water quality and protect your tank, we recommend:

Leaf guards and gutter screens – to stop debris entering the system.

First flush diverters – to send the first wash of roof water (containing dust and pollutants) away from the tank.

Mosquito-proof screens – to keep insects out.

Regular tank cleaning and inspections – to remove sludge build-up.

Routine pump and filter maintenance – to keep your system working efficiently.

Long-Term Maintenance

A rainwater system is only as good as its upkeep. We provide:

Tank cleaning services to prevent sediment build-up.

Scheduled filter replacements to maintain water clarity.

System health checks to ensure everything is running smoothly year-round.
