Water is important to sustain life. Due to Climate change, our water resources keep declining year after year. With almost half of Western Australia’s water source coming from seawater desalination and nearly as much from groundwater, we all need to review the way we use water to ensure the future of WA. Using rainwater at its full potential, will help us become less reliant on mains water supply.
Rainwater can be used for drinking or cooking and for other household activities like showers, to flush toilets or in the laundry.
Watering of the garden by hose or through automated reticulation systems.
No disruption to your daily, normal routine or lifestyle during drought or strict water restrictions, for eg you can still top up your pool and water your garden.
Save on your water bill
Better choice for the environment and eco-friendly - sustainable, renewable leading to smaller footprint.
Rainwater Harvesting systems can also be set up to use both rainwater and mains water supply. The Mains Water system bypass works during low rainfall periods or drought. The mains water supply acts as a top-up system and feeds the rainwater tank as needed for continued usage in the home.
When rainwater and mains water supply are connected, the mains water supply must be separated from the rainwater system by a suitable backflow prevention device or a visible air gap, as required by the Plumbing Code of Australia.

Most mains backup devices already have a backflow prevention system appropriate for use with above-ground tanks. If mains water is for an underground tank system, a testable backflow prevention device must be fitted on the mains water supply to the house. It normally needs to be tested annually.
Rainwater Harvesting together with water efficient appliances (low flow showers and dual flushing toilets) is by far the easiest way to reduce water wastage in the household. It is also a cost-efficient way to cut down on water usage from mains water supply.

Myth Busting!
Will Rainwater make me sick?
It has been proven that rainwater does not make you sick! According to tests and research done by Dr Peter Coombes, rainwater is similar to mains water supply and will not make you sick. In fact, rainwater is considered safer than mains water supply.
Keeping my rainwater tank full is a good thing?
It is actually recommended to use your tank water as often as possible. This allows the treatment train/microbiome inside the tank to work at its best. The ideal way to maintain your tank is to use the water inside! So connect your tank to all your household appliances/taps to make the most of your rainwater harvesting.
