Back In June we had an enquiry for 3 slimline water tanks that the customer wanted to use to collect rainwater from his new extension, These were to be small enough to be neatly hidden away behind a retaining wall. We advised how he could link all three tanks together so they fill and empty all at the same time and provided the fittings and pipework.

The extension is now done, as is the retaining wall and the tanks work like a charm, from the outside you wouldn't even know there were there.

Our customer has since been back in store having changed his mind on the tap coming out of the wall and wants to move it to the other side of what will be the drive, so we have provided a little bit of advice on the easiest ways to do this and the fittings.

Whilst he was here he asked about another rain harvesting project they have coming up, stay tuned for for updates of this one.

If you have a building project upcoming you would like to add some eco-friendly points to, or are interested in adding rainwater harvesting to your home or business, talk to our friendly and knowledgeable team.
