At least, the water coming through most people’s taps isn’t. Water Supply All Over the World In heavily populated countries like the UK, water companies are already considering returning treated sewage water back into the rivers, where it will return through the filtration processes to the system for household re-use. Unless these measures are undertaken within the next 20 years, there is a grave risk large cities like London, will begin to find their domestic taps running dry.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/amid-dwindling-water-supply-owning-water-tanks-may-be-a-viable-option/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/amid-dwindling-water-supply-owning-water-tanks-may-be-a-viable-option/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-28059883325568529212016-04-01T03:01:00.001-07:002016-04-01T03:01:03.244-07:00Water Tanks can Help Residents Combat the Increasing Cost of Water<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1459330131-RainFillTanks5.jpg'/><br/>In areas like Western Australia, water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource. Not only has annual rainfall been reducing over the past 30 years, but populations have been increasing. In just 15 years, Perth’s population has increased by 25%, much of it attributed to the mining boom and ancillary businesses that support it. It’s not a problem specific to Australia. In the Northern Hemisphere industrialised countries like the United States, United Kingdom and many others across Europe are experiencing the same problems for the same reasons. And things will only get worse. The world, it would seem, is beginning to dry up.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-tanks-can-help-residents-combat-the-increasing-cost-of-water/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-tanks-can-help-residents-combat-the-increasing-cost-of-water/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-13275031328407359482016-03-31T05:00:00.001-07:002016-03-31T05:00:41.062-07:00Go Green, and Watch Your Garden Grow with Help from Rainwater Tanks<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1459329458-RainFillTanks4.jpg'/><br/>A hundred years ago, who would have thought the one resource we all take so much for granted would become a precious commodity – water. Now, in many countries of the developed world water is in short supply. t’s not just that less of it is falling from the heavens, although in some areas that’s true. It’s increasing populations, and the massive amounts of water used in industrial and chemical processes which are reducing the useable water available. In a greater number of countries today, if we want to use water, we have to pay for it, and the cost will continue to increase.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/go-green-and-watch-your-garden-grow-with-help-from-rainwater-tanks/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/go-green-and-watch-your-garden-grow-with-help-from-rainwater-tanks/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-89793235346261787662016-03-31T03:01:00.001-07:002016-03-31T03:01:28.079-07:00What Are the Advantages of Using Slimline Rainwater Tanks for Homes?<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1459328995-RainFillTanks3.jpg'/><br/>As people across the world become more and more conscious of conserving energy and water, you’re likely to have heard about rainwater tanks somewhere along the line, but may be a little confused as to what this entails. The concept of rainwater tanks is quite simple; rain is collected in a tank, where it can be purified for drinking and bathing water, or utilised for a wide variety of other applications. Here are a few of the advantages of rainwater tanks. Easy to Maintain First of all, rainwater tanks are very easy to maintain. Clearing your gutters of leaves and debris and ensuring no holes or gaps in any of the pipework where it connects to your tank are a couple of crucial service requirements.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/what-are-the-advantages-of-using-slimline-rainwater-tanks-for-homes/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/what-are-the-advantages-of-using-slimline-rainwater-tanks-for-homes/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-53707576667126360412016-03-30T05:00:00.001-07:002016-03-30T05:00:58.795-07:00Be Kind to the Environment by Investing in a Water Harvesting System<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1459328607-RainFillTanks2.jpg'/><br/>With Perth experiencing 674.4 millilitres of rainfall in 2014, there’s great scope for homeowners and businesses to take a greener approach to everyday living. Through the use of a rainwater tank, it’s possible to maintain a garden, wash clothes and do the dishes, while making a positive contribution to the environment. How homeowners in Western Australia can benefit from a rain tank When water levels in Australia’s dams are low and restrictions are in place, prolonged use can damage water bays, the economy and the environment. Fortunately, homeowners can reduce their use through the installation of a rainwater tank. Using the rainwater collected, homeowners can water their gardens during periods of drought, reduce their water bills, flush their toilets, wash their clothes and reduce the risk of contaminants in the waterways.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/be-kind-to-the-environment-by-investing-in-a-water-harvesting-system/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/be-kind-to-the-environment-by-investing-in-a-water-harvesting-system/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-24796753744872150782016-03-30T01:54:00.001-07:002016-03-30T01:54:27.297-07:00Know the True Utility of a Raised Garden Bed: A Homeowner's Advisory<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1459327814-RainFillTanks1.jpg'/><br/>Perth is often a beautifully sunny city. Of course, its location on the coast brings plenty of unexpected rainfall from year to year. With the country being dry from end to end at times, it’s a fantastic idea to harness the water that falls throughout the year, and where better to start than with an outdoor garden? Why Consider Raised Garden Beds? Freestanding plants are susceptible to all of the critters that wander the Australian landscape, in Perth and elsewhere. If you have pets, they may also find your garden interesting and decide to make some of their own improvements. Digging in certain soil types can also be a strenuous and backbreaking task. Raised garden beds offer the ability to plant a garden with the minimum of fuss and keep your plants away from unwanted pests.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/know-the-true-utility-of-a-raised-garden-bed-a-homeowners-advisory/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/know-the-true-utility-of-a-raised-garden-bed-a-homeowners-advisory/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-67349569483691824442016-03-10T02:19:00.000-08:002016-05-05T02:19:36.123-07:00Finding the Ideal Location and Design for Water Tank InstallationOnce you have decided that this money and energy saving option is right for your home, your water tank’s location should be very carefully considered. The tank needs to be in an optimum position to collect as much runoff water as possible, whilst also not being an obstacle or unsightly mark on your property's landscape.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><b>Design</b><br /><br />There is a large array of different tank designs available, so there will always be one to suit your property and water capacity needs. You can also acquire a slim line tank which covers more wall area but hardly any ground so small gardens can still be fully enjoyed whilst you save money with your water collection decision.<br /><br /><b>Location</b><br /><br />The proximity of the rainwater tank in relation to features such as toilets or washing machines is also a very important factor. Ensuring that the collection vessel is an adequate distance away from these features is paramount to avoiding any future problems with water quality.<br /><br />Another point to consider when you decide to have a rain collection tank installed is the slope and ground level of the site where it will be placed. Whilst rainwater tanks rely on the pitch of a roof to gather as much water as possible, you want the actual tank to be as flat as it can be in order to prevent water pooling and wastage.<br /><br />When considering the perfect location for your rain fill <a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/products/water-tanks/corrugated-water-tanks/" target="_blank">water tanks</a> it is important to take aesthetic considerations on board, especially for residential applications. Place the collection vessel at the side of the house or in a corner which is tucked away, or utilize a slimline tank which blends into your house, then reap the benefits of your rainwater harvesting system.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-73125416853206983142016-03-01T02:12:00.000-08:002016-05-05T02:13:34.563-07:00Important Considerations When Installing Rainwater Tanks for HomesCollecting rainwater is a good way to make the most of the natural resources available. It is essential in areas that lack water supply but also useful in other places to avoid water restrictions. Many households who do invest in a rainwater collection system find that they can rely on it for up to 80% of their water needs, making it a genuinely useful proposition.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />Choosing the best place to position your collection tank is essential. It is important that the structure on which the tank is constructed is strong enough to bear the weight of the tank and the water, when it is full. There needs to be easy access in case of repairs and maintenance, as well as being able to deliver the water at a constant pressure. In addition, you may need approval from a regulatory authority to comply with the Building Code or Plumbing Code of Australia depending on your location.<br /><br />Depending on your tanks required use, water for gardening, toilets, washing machines, drinking purposes etc, a filtration system may be required to ensure that the water is treated appropriately. There are specific standards in place for the use required. If you buy from a reputable supplier of <a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/products/water-tanks/" target="_blank">rainwater tanks</a>, they will be able to assist you in assuring that the tank and filtration system meets these standards.<br /><br />Before going ahead with buying and installing a rainwater tank, think about each stage in the water collection process. There will be pipes required to transport the water to areas of the building where it will be used. If you are unsure of what exactly can be done to your property if you have an existing structure be sure to speak with a professional.<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-37043457223523108302016-01-20T20:20:00.000-08:002016-05-05T03:20:16.881-07:00Survey Reveals Western Australians are Interested in Rainwater Tanks<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

business or private residence. <br />
<br />
When deciding on a rainwater tank, water capacity and the tank size will depend
upon your space available and needs. There are a wealth of collectors
available, so alongside deciding what you will use your tank for, you will need
to work out where it will be best positioned. With tank capacities available
from 500 litres to 25,000 litres, you can find the best shape and size to suit
your situation; if you simply want to reduce the cost of watering your average
size garden, then a small tank will satisfy your needs, if you would like to
use rainwater for your toilets, garden, washing machine, showering and drinking
purposes then the largest tank you can fit will be the best option. <br />
<br />
Before deciding upon the best tank for your situation, it is vital to do some
research. Finding out the annual rainfall for your area will give you a gauge
on how successful your new addition will be. It is also important that you
speak to your local authority who can inform you of regulations regarding tanks
in your area. There may also be size or design restrictions imposed by your
local authority which will steer your choice of collection tank.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-40543908796550955602015-12-21T20:14:00.000-08:002016-03-08T20:42:32.832-08:00Rainwater Tanks are Helping Households Save More Water for Future Use<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

Corrugated rainwater tanks are strong and durable and have a long life span.
They require very little maintenance when compared to other materials. In
particular, cleaning the outer and interior surfaces of a corrugated tank is
easy with a water hose, which can remove debris that often builds up over time
as well as the sediment left behind by rainwater. These types of tanks contain
a waterproof membrane on the interior, so you needn't worry about rust or
damage to the tank's interior surface contaminating your water supply. <br />
<br />
Corrugated water tanks retain their shape and form regardless of the amount of
water you want to store up for everyday uses such as watering plants or
flushing the toilet. <br />

Considering problems like droughts and climate change that are threatening the state’s water supply, this is a huge concern. One of the most viable solutions to this issue is rainwater harvesting. According to the Australian Department of Health, 19 per cent of households across the nation use rainfall collected in their water tanks for various applications. While this practice in itself is already saving precious water, there are other ways to further maximise the usage of rainwater in your home.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-tanks-ways-maximise-usage-rainwater-home/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-tanks-ways-maximise-usage-rainwater-home/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-693140630217304792015-12-14T09:00:00.001-08:002015-12-14T09:00:21.369-08:00Keep Mosquitoes Out of Domestic Water Tanks to Maintain Water Quality<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449200060-5.png'/><br/>Mosquitoes can breed in any kind of standing water in your home. Larvae or wigglers are the last thing you would want to find in your water tank whenever you want a refreshing drink or clean water for cooking. These insects, tiny as they are, bear illnesses ranging from dengue to the dreaded malaria. Even if you are not consuming the water from your tank, you’ll still need to keep these mosquitoes and other insects out to maintain water quality at ideal levels. Here are a few easy steps to keep water tanks in Perth and elsewhere in WA mosquito free.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/keep-mosquitoes-domestic-water-tanks-maintain-water-quality/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/keep-mosquitoes-domestic-water-tanks-maintain-water-quality/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-8293779695792233452015-12-13T09:00:00.001-08:002015-12-13T09:00:46.396-08:00Rainwater Tanks: 5 Things to Consider When Choosing the Best Spot<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449199844-4.png'/><br/>Rainwater is a free resource you can use for a variety of non-drinking purposes, and rainwater tanks are the most effective way to collect water from the sky in large volumes. If you’ve been exploring the Perth market for your home’s first rainwater tank, you probably already have the material, capacity, and shape in mind. The next thing to figure out is where to place such a big container. Here are factors you should consider: 1. Local regulations. Councils usually impose certain restrictions on tank placement, particularly on issues of overshadowing (as tanks can run several metres high) and boundaries. Additionally, if your tank exceeds 10k litres, some form of planning permission is typically involved. Check local government rules and regulations first before purchasing a tank and know under what conditions you can be exempted.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/rainwater-tanks-5-things-consider-choosing-best-spot/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/rainwater-tanks-5-things-consider-choosing-best-spot/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-52936743334370116322015-12-12T09:00:00.001-08:002015-12-12T09:00:48.575-08:00WA Business Tips: Reduce Water Consumption Costs with Rainwater Tanks<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449199745-3.png'/><br/>“A penny saved is a penny earned”—the same principle is true for businesses. If you think about it, reducing your daily utility expenses can be just as good as increasing your revenue. One area where you can gain significant savings from is water use. For small-scale hospitality businesses in Perth such as hotels, restaurants, bars, and resorts, rainwater harvesting is a practical and eco-friendly way to protect one’s income stream from rising water costs. You can notice a difference in your bottom line the moment you install rainwater tanks and connect them to your plumbing system for non-drinking purposes such as flushing the toilet, washing cars, watering gardens, and supplying sporting grounds, as well as for cleaning pavements.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/wa-business-tips-reduce-water-consumption-costs-rainwater-tanks/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/wa-business-tips-reduce-water-consumption-costs-rainwater-tanks/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-33775205996517205362015-12-11T09:00:00.001-08:002015-12-11T09:00:53.241-08:00Can You Drink Harvested Rainwater? With Quality Water Filters, You Can<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449199656-2.png'/><br/>Collected rainwater can be used for a wide variety of uses, but can it be made safe for drinking? The answer is yes. How? By filtering and purifying it with the best technology available in Perth. Different contaminants—air pollution, debris, algae, sand, dust, and even animal excrement—can pollute water. Local water suppliers have dealt with these issues for decades using different filtration and purification equipment processes. Thanks to advances in technology, these equipment and processes have been brought down to an economical level, allowing homeowners like you to have them in your home.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/can-drink-harvested-rainwater-quality-water-filters-can/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/can-drink-harvested-rainwater-quality-water-filters-can/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-33786735528077942702015-12-10T09:00:00.001-08:002015-12-10T09:00:56.036-08:00Four Essential Tips to Build Up the Soil in Your Raised Garden Beds<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449199403-1.png'/><br/>Raised garden beds are a great way to grow a wide range of plants. In Perth, these structures are especially popular for growing fruits and vegetables. That said, expert gardeners agree that building up the soil is the single most important thing you can do to achieve a fruitful yield. Lush, organically rich soil promotes healthy and extensive roots with better ability to access nutrients and water. The result: abundant and flourishing above-ground growth. Take note of these simple steps for ensuring healthier soil in your raised garden bed. Add compost Compost is the best amendment that planting soil can receive, which is why many gardeners keep compost piles to hand in their gardens. Compost contains the organic nutrients that plants need, thereby improving yield. Add compost to your soil during the beginning of spring and autumn.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/four-essential-tips-build-soil-raised-garden-beds/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/four-essential-tips-build-soil-raised-garden-beds/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-75615263376169828452015-12-09T09:00:00.001-08:002015-12-09T09:00:59.346-08:00Quality Water Tanks Turn Beautiful Gardens into Sustainable Spaces<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449195435-6.png'/><br/>Gardens traditionally have a decorative function. You fill your yard with colourful flowers, accentuate them with ornamental grasses and place other embellishments like statues or bird baths. If your garden only serves aesthetic purposes, though, why not make it more useful? Many households have since converted their manicured lawns and gardens into versatile and sustainable spaces that are also aesthetically pleasing. These gardens help save water and other natural resources, enable homeowners to grow organic produce and help make natural fertilisers readily available. Sustainable gardens also attract bugs and birds that are beneficial to flora. If you plan to push through with this home improvement, you will no doubt find water tanks and certain accessories rather instrumental in the creation and preservation of an eco-friendly garden.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/quality-water-tanks-turn-beautiful-gardens-into-sustainable-spaces/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/quality-water-tanks-turn-beautiful-gardens-into-sustainable-spaces/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-80318704332821298672015-12-08T09:01:00.001-08:002015-12-08T09:01:04.933-08:00Water Tanks and Other Features for an Earth-Friendly Home Makeover<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449195345-5.png'/><br/>Considering the rising costs of utilities and the burden placed on the environment by the growing population, products and projects that are eco-friendly understandably hold much practical appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. Savvy Perth homeowners who want to make their abodes more “green” can benefit from water tanks, native gardens and other Earth-friendly makeover ideas. A Bit of “Outback Chic” Through Rainwater Collection Australians who wish to have an alternative and sustainable clean water source can install water tanks that allow them to take advantage of the rainy seasons and the occasional rainy days throughout the year. A rainwater tank of ample capacity can help each household reduce its reliance on mains water, save on water bills, and practice sustainability every day.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-tanks-and-other-features-for-an-earth-friendly-home-makeover/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-tanks-and-other-features-for-an-earth-friendly-home-makeover/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-54787387532802707182015-12-07T09:01:00.001-08:002015-12-07T09:01:20.325-08:00What Perth Homeowners Should Know Before Installing Rainwater Tanks<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449195271-4.png'/><br/>If you live in any area of Western Australia where there is limited access to water reservoirs or mains, it makes sense to install a rainwater collection and storage system in your home. Throughout the state, installing rainwater tanks can also be a practical home improvement that will save you money and help you conserve natural resources. Are you planning to have water tanks installed in your home in Perth, WA? Here are some of the details that need to be mapped out beforehand: Location If it rains frequently in your area, smaller tanks would be fine since they get refilled regularly. Conversely, bigger tanks in larger numbers are better if the average rainfall in your community is low. Bigger tanks also give you access to a large store of emergency water, which is particularly useful if your area is prone to bushfires or drought.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/what-perth-homeowners-should-know-before-installing-rainwater-tanks/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/what-perth-homeowners-should-know-before-installing-rainwater-tanks/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-64931894484228992902015-12-06T09:01:00.001-08:002015-12-06T09:01:24.050-08:00Save Money and Be Environmentally Friendly with Rainwater Tanks in WA<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449195195-3.png'/><br/>Rainwater harvesting grows in importance, especially in areas vulnerable to drought such as Perth. With water costs and demand on the rise, more companies are turning to these systems to supplement the water needs of their facilities. The collected water is then used for any and all water needs—from irrigation to consumption and beyond. Rainwater collection in Sydney’s Wetherill Park Stockland, Australia’s largest property group, was recently awarded a 5 Star Green Star – Retail Centre Design rating by the Green Building Council of Australia for its Wetherill Park shopping centre redevelopment in Sydney’s western suburbs. Among the major reasons cited for the award was the shopping centre’s use of rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing. The move is expected to reduce the centre’s potable water consumption by five kilolitres a day.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/save-money-and-be-environmentally-friendly-with-rainwater-tanks-in-wa/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/save-money-and-be-environmentally-friendly-with-rainwater-tanks-in-wa/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-82516514134092715552015-12-05T09:01:00.001-08:002015-12-05T09:01:21.163-08:00Water Filters: An Integral Part of Any Rainwater Collection System<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449195110-2.png'/><br/>Rainwater is safe for most household uses. Although some studies have shown that roof-harvested rainwater is generally potable, government agencies advise to avoid drinking the water unfiltered, as there are certain risks associated with it. Remember that rainwater comes in contact with various surfaces (roof, gutters, etc.) before it reaches your tank, not to mention the fact that it could already be carrying hazardous contaminants and pathogens such as the following: Bacteria Most pathogenic bacteria found in rainwater come from human and animal matter. Variables such as the specific type of bacteria and the strength of an individual’s immune system will determine if he or she will get sick from drinking untreated rainwater.<br/><a href="http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-filters-an-integral-part-of-any-rainwater-collection-system/">http://www.rainfilltanks.com.au/water-filters-an-integral-part-of-any-rainwater-collection-system/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17537388198779725634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-251996937528008814.post-59775984959782780402015-12-03T18:12:00.001-08:002015-12-03T18:12:24.436-08:00Building the Ideal Drip Irrigation System for Your Raised Garden Beds<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/RainFillTanks-1449194862-1.png'/><br/>Raised garden beds are an effective method of gardening as they minimise the need to till, amend and weed. These structures are quick to assemble and easy to maintain. They can even be designed to water themselves via drip irrigation.
