New Above Ground Rainwater Tank Installation
Installing a new above ground rainwater tank can be a great solution for collecting and using rainwater. Recently, we completed a rainwater tank installation with an external pump feeding a hose tap. This rainwater tank is fed by four charged downpipes running from the roof of a newly constructed stable.
The new above ground rainwater tank installation is perfect for this stable, which is built away from the main dwelling. This setup allows for efficient water collection and use without needing to connect to the main house’s water supply. Water tanks are an excellent way to make use of natural rainwater, which can be used for various purposes such as watering gardens, washing down surfaces, and more.
Commitment to excellence
When we first started the installation, we connected two downpipes as per the guttering system designed by the stable company. However, during the first rain, we noticed that the guttering system couldn’t handle the water flow at the far end. To solve this problem, we returned to install two extra downpipes. Despite the not-so-great weather, we made sure the guttering system could effectively feed the rainwater tank without any overflow issues.
In addition to setting up the water tank and downpipes, we also left a provision underground for a cold outlet. This outlet is intended to feed a hot water system for a horse wash-down bay. While this part of the project wasn’t completed during our visit, it’s a good example of how water tank can be integrated into various systems and future plans.

Be sustainable with rainwater tanks
Rainwater tank is a sustainable and cost-effective way to manage water resources. By installing a water storage tank, you can reduce your dependence on mains water and make use of the natural water that falls on your property. This is particularly useful in areas where water restrictions are common, or in remote locations where connecting to the main water supply is difficult or expensive.
The sustainability benefits extend beyond water conservation. Rainwater harvesting reduces stormwater runoff, which can otherwise lead to urban flooding and pollution of water bodies with debris and contaminants. Moreover, using rainwater for non-potable purposes such as gardening, toilet flushing, and washing vehicles reduces the demand on treated drinking water for activities that don’t require it.
In addition to environmental benefits, water tanks contribute to financial savings by lowering water bills over time and providing a backup water supply during interruptions in municipal water service.
When considering a rainwater tank installation, it’s important to think about the placement of the tank and how it will be integrated into your existing systems.
