Plumbing Melbourne

Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth and predictions are showing that in the future is likely to get much hotter and drier.

Drinking water is going to become more and more scarce and with only 1% of the world’s water being fresh this paints a pretty grim picture.

So why waste so much of this precious resource on things that don’t really require high quality good drinking water.

Around half the water we consume is used for the garden and toilet flushing. So why not use rainwater for these things, or even recycled greywater from our baths and laundries.
Harvesting rain and grey water in the past used to require a great deal of space. Huge rainwater tanks need to be dug in or would take up most of the available garden space on the average block. New tank designs now come in a variety of sizes and colours, as well as bladder tanks, which can sit under your house or decking.

Many of our local councils, water suppliers and state governments have been encouraging city and urban residents to install a rainwater tank, usually with the offer of a rebate. Check out whether you may eligible.

Arscott Plumbing Melbourne have a range of Tanks, pumps and the know how to install tanks, piping, overflows, and grey water systems and set you up to save money and water for the future.
