Water harvesting at your North Auckland property
Install a rainwater tank at your home and you can water your garden, top up spas and swimming pools, wash the car, wash the boat, wash the house and even wash the kids for free. Water harvesting saves money by diverting rainwater from your roof into an onsite water tank. You can then use free water from the sky instead of paying costly water charges.

There are many different rainwater tanks to choose from. They come in different shapes and sizes. They also come in different materials, including plastic, concrete, or metal. Depending on where you live, what your property is like and why you need a water tank, selecting the one right can be tricky.

How to harvest rainwater
Simply collect rainwater from your roof and store it in a tank until you want to use it. How we set up your rainwater harvesting system will depend on how much water you need and what you want it for.
To collect rainwater for watering the garden, you may only need a 200-litre rain barrel or a or a 500-litre rainwater tank. You will also need one with a tap or connection to a soak hose. If you are short of space, we can install a slim-line tank that fits on a wall on the side of your house.

Town to tank water service
A water tank for irrigation is the perfect solution for gardeners and lawn lovers, and we can help even if you’re on a property that relies on a rainwater tank but are on a street where there is a mains supply.
Auckland Council is now allowing town to tank water connections. A low-flow water metre is essentially a top-up service that can be used when you need it, so residential homeowners who rely on water harvesting can top up their tanks using town water supply when water tanks run low. You can keep watering the garden during a drought.
