The Raincycle system consists of one or more underground tanks and a control box that is generally located on the exterior wall of the home. It is an efficient system as the lights on the control box tell you whether you are using rainwater or town (mains) water. Our experience with this system has highlighted…
Space is often at a premium with many suburban blocks. Even more so when large round rainwater tanks are installed taking up valuable usable land. Changing a rainwater tank for a more streamlined one though can be challenging. The most important aspect to consider is How are you going to remove the old tank? Often,…
The Davey Evolution MKII rainwater system was produced by Tankworks and installed in their colorbond tanks. When things go wrong, replacement options do not appear as easy as they should be. We thought we would be able to just replace the pump if that as the item causing the issue but we were getting answers…
TD Rainwater Tanks have been offering alternate solutions to the Onga Waterswitch for quite a few years now. This may involve replacing the pump with an alternate brand, replacing the Waterswitch or completely replacing all components. Factors that we need to consider include the location of the unit and whether we have enough room to…
What is our Wall of Shame, you may ask? We have been carrying out warranty pump service work for several pump companies over many years. The amount of shoddy installations that we have come across is mind blowing. Keep in mind that these service calls are on brand new properties where the tank & pump…
Starting on December 10th, 2019, Level 2 water restrictions will take place in Sydney, The Blue Mountains and Illawarra. Over 85% of water in Sydney is captured rainfall.

Because of their popularity since the introduction of the DAB E.Sybox we have sold and installed many of these fantastic units. One customer was so impressed with its performance that he bought a second unit for his farm in western NSW! However, in general, we have not had any other feedback. That’s really not a…
The Rainsaver MK3 EVO I was an in-tank rainwater/ mains system developed by White International in conjuction with Tankworks (now Kingspan). The Rainsaver MK3 changeover valve was installed within the rectangular recess in the top of the colorbond tank. This Rainsaver was hydraulic so the fact that it was positioned inside the tank was not…

Servicing pumps in underground tanks often has unique challenges. Issues can arise in simply locating the underground tank when it has been installed in the lawn area and then turfed over. This was the case with one client whose submersible pump had failed and needed replacing. Thankfully, the owner still had copies of the site…
One of the most common questions people ask when enquiring about a Rainwater Tank is “What does the tank need to sit on?”

The client contacted us with an overflow that was constantly leaking. Builder had tried to fix the problem with copious amounts of silicone. Unfortunately, silicon does not bond well with polyethylene.
