For years the Water Wise campaign has encouraged people to use water sparingly in their homes, in office blocks and generally in every aspect of life. Rain water tanks provide the ideal solution for those who are serious about saving water and cutting back on costs. There are various areas and situations where rain water tanks are ideal to use:

• Areas where water sources or quality water is scarce
• Homes
• Schools
• Farms

The water collected in rain water tanks can be used for various reasons, all of which offer an alternative to using tap water. By connecting pipes to various appliances from the rain water tank, homes will be able to use rain water instead of tap water, in many instances:

• Toilets
• Washing Machines
• Dishwashers
• Outside watering (gardens, swimming pools etc.)
• Washing cars

When one considers these water costs, they easily equate to 50% of the water bill each month. Rain water harvesting as it is also known as, allows home owners to connect the rain water tank to gutters and downpipes which in turn means that all the rain that falls onto the roof, will gather in the rain water tank. This method of saving water is not only beneficial to the pockets of many struggling to save money on a monthly basis, it is also environmentally friendly.

Depending on the various factors, there is a selection of rain water tank sizes available. When determining which size is ideal to use, there are a number of considerations:

• Amount of water you are currently using
• Available space
• Financial situation

You may wonder how long it may take for the rain water tank to fill so that you may start benefiting from it. Obviously one needs to consider the time of the year as in South Africa, we experience rain at different parts of the year, depending on the province. Also important to consider is:

• Rainfall in your area
• Area your roof covers

Rain water tanks are a fantastic solution to cutting back on monthly water costs and getting the very most out of those heavy rainfalls and hail storms that we experience in South Africa.

Importance of septic tanks

Plastic tanks come with far more long term benefits than any other tank material. Being an alternative septic tank solution to concrete or fiberglass tanks, plastic tanks are often known as “poly septic tanks” as they are made from a combination of polyethylene and plastic. This offers a robust solution and provides various benefits.

• Less prone to cracking
• Weigh less than other materials (can be moved)
• Cheaper
• Do not rust/ corrosion proof
• Completely water and air- tight
• Easy to install
• Easier to repair than other materials
• Designed with ribs to add to resilience and strength
• Manhole extensions and lid risers are easy to install

Plastic septic tanks have become the more common choice due to their ease of manufacturing. Other materials tend to take strain due to pressure, weathering and other factors.

Cement tanks

• Expensive
• Difficult to transport
• Crack under pressure
• Leak easily
• Difficult to install

Other septic tank materials such as steel are the least durable as they are prone to rust. Once the rusting process begins, it is nearly impossible to stop, weakening the integrity of the septic tank. This results in the entire septic tank having to be replaced; an expensive replacement considering the material.

Plastic septic tanks are manufactured in various sizes and shapes. To ensure the longevity of your septic tank, plastic is one of the most reliable materials.

The plastic tanks available from Roto Tank are great for chemical storage at a number of facilities.

• Hospitals
• Hotels
• Pharmaceutical companies
• Manufacturing companies
• Distributing factories

Whether it’s toxic waste or some other type of chemical, keeping the substance in a safe, secure and non- congestive area is important, even if the plastic tank offers guaranteed safety. When storing chemicals, there are certain aspects that need to be made sure of.

• Understand the chemical and its characteristics
• Place plastic tanks in areas where spills can be contained
• Have a back up tank in the event of leakage
• Cover storage areas
• Clearly label all plastic tanks
• Prevent overfilling

When transporting chemicals it is vital that the above points are considered. Plastic tanks are the most effective solution for any kind of chemical storage. However when the chemical is no longer stationary and the plastic tank comes into contact with sunlight and other unusual elements the chemical could hold the potential to change.

Roto Tank’s plastic tanks provide the strength and reliability that is needed when storing any type of chemical or hazardous substance. For more information on the selection of plastic tanks available through Roto Tank, call:
