Well-planned rainwater systems improve reliability and water quality.

When planning a tank and pump setup, focus on:

  1. Roof catchment area and expected demand.
  2. Correct first-flush and filtration strategy.
  3. Pump sizing for pressure and flow requirements.
  4. Safe overflow and discharge routing.
  5. Ongoing access for inspection and maintenance.

Every site is different, so final design should be validated against local requirements and plumbing standards.
