1. Check ROOF SURFACE is suitable for collecting quality rainwater.
2. Install GUTTER MESH to prevent leaves and debris from blocking gutters.
3. Fit GUTTER OUTLETS from the underside of the gutter to prevent obstruction of water flow.

5. Install WATER DIVERTER/S to prevent the first flush of most contaminated rainwater from entering the tank.
6. Ensure the TANK SCREEN is installed at tank entry point to filter water and keep mosquitoes and pests out.

7. Choose a WATER TANK. Consider annual rainfall, roof catchment area and water usage when determining its size.
8. Attach INSECT PROOF SCREENS or FLAP VALVES to the end of all pipes to the tank screen and to TANK OVERFLOW OUTLETS to keep mosquitoes and pests out and ensure tank is vented properly.
10. Select a PUMP SYSTEM to distribute water for use inside or outside the home.
12. WATER LEVEL MONITOR. Install a level indicator to help monitor your water usage. Wireless systems are most convenient and display a reading inside the home. |
