BlueScope Rainwater Tanks

• Our amazing country was built because we learnt very early on to capture the water that ran off our roofs and that ensured the survival of our forefathers. If we set up to capture every drop that fell on our roof we'd almost be self sustaining with water demands from the house.

• With average rainfall of 800mm a year, a typical Australian household can generate 240,000 litres of fresh rainwater a year simply by capturing rainwater

• Where do you start if you want to set up a rain water harvesting system? For a start – find the best most reliable tank manufacturer. In Australia BlueScope Water, a division of BlueScope Steel has perfected steel rainwater tank manufacture, and a reliable tank is certainly a great start.

• BlueScope rainwater tanks are post painted to match 20 different colorbond steel colours to suit even the most discerning colour outdoor decorator.

• Reliability is the key and these tanks come backed by BlueScope Steel's 20 year Aquaplate steel warranty. The food grade approved polymer coated Aquaplate steel also meets tough Australian standards regulating the storage of water. The strength of steel makes these tanks the best option for home garden placement as they are more durable and last longer.

• The tanks start at a capacity of about 1000 litres which may be okay for a small garden but I'd recommend the 5,000 litre tanks for a typical backyard. This ensures a regular supply during the hottest months. Remember this water can be plumbed into your toilet and bathroom and kitchen if you apply the appropriate filtration system to it.

• Did you know? Over the last 2 years, BlueScope have helped schools with water education by donating 400 rainwater tanks to primary schools across the country.
