Rainwater collection tanks are used in all rainwater storage systems to store rainwater. Rainwater tanks are used to store rainwater so that it can be used during the dry spell. Since the water in the Rainwater collection tanks remain stored for very long duration it is important that the tank is strong and fit enough to store water in good state for long periods. There should not be seepage or evaporation of water. The stored rainwater should remain protected from mosquito breeding and any kind of algal growth. The rainwater tank should not bulge, crack or burst due to load of water and should not pass bad taste, odor or contaminants to the water that is stored in it.
Thus there are many factors that one has to keep in mind before purchasing a rainwater tank and it is always better to take some sort of professional help in this matter. Before purchasing rainwater collection tank you should first analyze how much water you need to store. If the rainfall patterns are good in your region you may not have to buy a bigger tank as the tank will get filled up by frequent rainfalls but if the frequency of rainfall is low in your area, you may have to buy a huge rainwater tank to store large volumes of water. Therefore the first factor that you will have to consider is the size of the rainwater tank. Depending upon the rainfall pattern, duration of dry spell, water requirement in your house and the purposes for which you would be storing rainwater you will have to decide upon a size which would be suitable for your need.
Once the size has been decided the next factor that one has to consider is the material and quality of collection rainwater tanks. Rainwater collection tanks are available in wide range of variety such as steel/metallic, poly/plastic, fiberglass, Concrete and bladder rainwater tanks. Depending upon your requirement the tanks can be installed above the ground or underground. In urban areas people cannot accommodate huge tanks in their house so they opt for Slimline or bladder rainwater collection tanks to store water which easily fit in the congested areas of your house and are able to store a lot of water. Many people can accommodate huge rainwater tanks within the premises but feel that huge rainwater tanks look very ugly; generally such people opt for underground rainwater tank installation so that the rainwater tank is not visible. Concrete and plastic rainwater tanks are ideally used for underground water storage.
