My family has always recycled plastic and glass by putting it those recycle green tubs, then place it on the curb on recycle day, we also recycle our leaves and grass clipping by putting them in the special clear bags the city gives to you. Well for the New Year 2008 we made a New Year’s resolution to recycle more and save money while doing it. The first thing I thought about was WATER its free could we find a way to store it, when it rains outside, and later use it to water the grass or wash the car with rain water. I surfed the net for a solution and found this unique website that has rain water tanks that you can use to capture water and re-use for harvesting rain water this is a great recycle solution for our home and garden. Water Harvest even has rainwater tanks for garden irrigation systems for commercial and industrial water re-use and harvesting and even grey water systems. I really would like to get the above ground tank storage option, where the rain falls off your house and goes directly into the tank with a filter and it is stored until you use it. The rain water tanks they offer are a unique way of using water tanks and greywater as water saving solution.
Rainwater Tanks
Rainwater tanks literally come in hundreds of different sizes, shapes and configurations. The main categories of tanks are:
In-ground Rainwater Tanks
Once again the choices are vast. Tanks can be constructed from concrete, polypropylene, even plastic crate systems. Capacities range from 10,000 liters to 200,000 liters plus. Our technical consultants can work with you to determine what system would be best suited to meet your requirements.
Above Ground Rainwater Tanks
The most popular types here is either round or slim line in shape, with capacities ranging up to 50,000 liters. They are constructed from either steel, often corrugated or plastic (polypropylene).
I wrote this blog post on my experience with rain water tanks; because it was surprising to me personally that there are rain water tanks to conserve water for small routine water use. To me it is recycling rain water and it helps you save money on your water bill while doing what ever you can recycle. I live in Texas and we have many rainy NIGHTS where it is a Thunder storm warning and while you are at work that day, it is a very dryness in the air. Well here in
