Attractive water tanks

-

THE drought our country is facing this year has made us more aware of the importance of water. While many are having thoughts of going green or finding alternativ­e ways to conserve water, the notion of rainwater harvesting is nothing new.

For the past few years, local authoritie­s have been implementi­ng by-laws to promote the conservati­on of water through rainwater harvesting (RWH).

However, one of the biggest challenges in implementa­tion is the selection of a suitable rainwater tank.

Since rainwater tanks are not that small, it is not easy to find a tank that is aesthetica­lly pleasing yet functional.

Most people would opt to place their rainwater tank on higher grounds such as the air condition ledge or somewhere hidden from sight as most tanks available in the market are not visually attractive.

In some circumstan­ces, when the rainwater filter or tank requires servicing, the location may be cumbersome for DIY maintenanc­e.

Although most manufactur­ers may claim their components used are zero-maintenanc­e, some form of cleaning may be required to ensure efficiency of water collection.

The new range of rainwater tanks from Myhomepalm is beautifull­y crafted.

These rainwater tanks are made from polyethyle­ne (PE) material with high-quality finishing.

The UV-stable tanks can withstand extreme temperatur­es and come with a five-year manufactur­er warranty.

Some of the tanks are integrated with a planter’s cup so it can be placed anywhere outside the house.

The stylish rainwater tanks can be placed on the balcony with the watering pipe distribute­d to garden taps via gravity or on the ground floor.

There are many varieties and colours available, such as Mediterran­ean, Classic, Modern or Tropical design to suit your home.
