Is rainwater safe to drink?
Rainwater is generally safe to drink, as long as you fit a filter to collect the debris and regularly clean the concrete tank to maintain water quality. You can check with your local council on how you can filter and process rainwater to make it safe for consumption.
What size tank should I get for my house?
The size of the tank depends on your water consumption and needs. On average, for a four to five-member household, the ideal size would be a concrete tank with a minimum 100,000 litres capacity if you live in an area with no town water. Some councils have restrictions on minimum sizes, so make sure you check with your council regarding size specifications.
