Choosing The Right Rain Water Recycling Tanks
from:Rain water recycling tanks are a must-have item for those who are choosing to help the environment by recycling rainwater for their household water usage. However, it is important to note that all rain water recycling tanks are not the same. Care must be taken when making a purchase to be sure that the tanks you are choosing are safe and effective for the uses that you are planning for your recycled rain water.
Materials Used For Rainwater Recycling Tanks
One of the first things that needs to be considered when choosing rain water recycling tanks is the type of materials that the tank is made from. As different materials have different properties, making the right choice for your location and purposes is critical.
• Polyethylene Tanks - Tanks made of polyethylene are inexpensive, lightweight and resistant to UV rays. These can be used in above ground and below ground rainwater recycling systems.
• Metal Tanks - These are generally made from steel and can be tailored to suit user’s specifications. They do have a tendency to rust, over time.
• Fiberglass Tanks - These tanks are resistant to UV rays and rust and are extremely durable. They can be used underground or above, but are pricier than rain water recycling tanks made from other materials.
• Concrete Tanks - Concrete tanks are generally made on-site. They may crack over time, but can be drained and repaired, as needed.
Features Of Rainwater Recycling Tanks
There are many different features available on rain water recycling tanks. Some are in place for safety reasons and are required for most people, others are simply there for convenience and are considered optional by some. Among the most popular features are:
• Covers - While the original rain barrels, used for many years, were simply open barrels, most newer tanks come equipped with covers. These help to stunt algae growth and keep out other debris, while assuring the safety of small children and animals that could fall into a tank and become trapped.
• Screens - Screens serve a similar purpose to covers, keeping unwanted debris and wildlife from falling into the collected rain water.
• Taps - Choosing a tank with a tap will allow you to attach a hose or pipe to the tank to remove the water easily. Without some sort of tap, users will have to scoop water out with a bucket or drain the tank by some other means.
• Pumps - Pumps are a necessity when attaching a tank to a plumbing or irrigation system. These produce enough force to move the water from the tank, into the pipes and to the appliance, faucet or watering unit.
These are just the basics that need to be considered when choosing rain water recycling tanks. Budget, storage needs and space available should also factor into the decision. No matter what tank you choose, recycling rain water is a great way to help the environment.
