The world is facing a number of problems and there are few solutions for solving all these problems. Global warming, for instance, is a huge problem that needs a solution urgently. Another problem that is getting worse by the day is the limited access to clean drinking water by billions of people. The best solution for this problem is rainwater harvesting. By building or buying rainwater storage tanks, consumers can have access to clean drinking water throughout the year.
Underground units are best suited for storing rain water. This is because they make great use of the space beneath the surface, which is never used. You can construct a tank that is big enough to store water that can meet all your needs throughout the year, or until the next rain season arrives.
To ensure you only get clean water from the tank, you will need to invest in a filtration system. You will need a filter or sieve to ensure large debris do not get into the tank. You will also need a powerful water filtration system to clean water when it is being pumped into the plumbing of your home.
It is important to note that one cubic meter of space can hold a thousand liters of water. This means that a tank measuring 5 meters in length, 4 meters in width and has a depth of 3 meters can hold 60,000 liters of clean water. If you normally use a thousand liters per day in your home, this tank can meet your needs for two whole months.
When looking for a company to construct the tank, you need to give priority consideration to firms that have handled many similar projects in the past. The number of years they have been in the industry as well as the reputation they have in the industry should all be taken into consideration.
Underground tanks are usually durable because they cannot easily be damaged. In fact, only earthquakes can compromise the structural integrity of such a tank. The cost of installation may be high, but you can be assured of having a durable tank that will meet all your water storage needs for decades.
To find the most affordable construction company to build the tank, be sure to request quotes from a number of firms for the size of tank you need. Usually, the bigger the tank, the higher the construction cost. If you do not know how to choose the right tank size for your needs, be sure to consult the builder. This will ensure you get a tank that can store enough water to meet all your needs.
It is important you check the portfolios of different firms to learn more about the types of tanks they have constructed or installed over the years. This will give you an idea about the quality of service offered by the firm. If a company has built thousands of tanks that look amazing and are professionally designed, you should give them priority consideration. Be sure to obtain guarantees and a long term warranty from the contractor before signing any paperwork.
