Savin Da Trees (well sort of)
With all this rain that Brisbane has been getting over the last few days, our shiny(ish) new rain tank + system has gotten its first real use since about February this year. The biggest shame was that it only took about 1 day for the tank to full itself completely but it then took about 10 days to run itself dry. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact this has on the overall water usage for the quarter when that bill comes, given that our usage was effectively zero during the 10 days where the tank was full.
The tank + Rainbank system has so far worked really well, automatically switching itself on and off as there is water available in the tank. The UV steriliser + other filters should also keep the water all nice and clean.
Would be interesting to see how many of these systems the government could deploy into homes for the same price as it costs to build one dam….
