Second-hand tanks as a sustainable and economical solution

Rainwater harvesting consists of collecting rainwater in a storage tank and then reusing it for activities such as watering the garden, washing the car, using the toilet, etc. It is an excellent idea for the environment and for the health of the population. This is an excellent idea for the environment, as it reduces the consumption of drinking water, an increasingly scarce and precious resource.

Installation of rainwater harvesting tanks: all you need to know

Rainwater harvesting tanks can be placed above or below ground level. If the tank is installed above ground, it is essential that it is well secured to prevent it from tipping over in strong winds. A full tank can weigh several hundred kilos. It is therefore important to ensure that it is firmly anchored to the ground, using suitable fixings.

If the tank is buried, this saves space and reduces the visual impact of the tank in the garden. However, not all tanks are designed to be buried. It is therefore important to check the technical characteristics of the tank before purchase and to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal installation.

Poor installation can lead to problems of leaks, poor sealing or corrosion. In addition, it is important to choose the location of the tank according to the water requirements and the environment. It is advisable to install the tank close to the points of use of the rainwater, but also to provide easy access for maintenance and servicing.

Finally, it is important to respect the regulations in force regarding the installation of rainwater harvesting tanks. Depending on the country and region, authorisations may be required to install an underground or large capacity tank.

Installing a rainwater harvesting tank is an excellent ecological and economical initiative. However, it is important to carefully consider the needs and constraints before choosing the type of tank and its location. It is also essential to respect the manufacturer's technical recommendations for an optimal and durable installation.
