Q: What size tank do
I need?
A: When choosing a tank size you will need to
consider what you will be using the tank for
(i.e. how heavily you will use the tank water),
space available for the tank, and any current
rebate eligibility requirements.
Our trained consultants can advise you. Simply

Q I don’t have much
room, what are my options?
A: Slim line tanks or a series of connected smaller
round tanks may be
appropriate. Alternatively under-house bladders
can provide an ideal
solution in some small-space situations.
Q What colour tanks do
you have?
A: We have a range of colours. Please visit the
colour chart on our website or our brochure.
Q: Why use Poly tanks?
A: Through experience we have found Poly tanks
to be the most durable option for homes. Poly
does not dint, rust, scratch, cause metal reactions
with other pipe work and cannot be damaged in
a hail storm for example.
Further, our corrugated tanks look like the traditional
tank, but avoid any risks mentioned above.
Q: Can Rain Source install
the tank?
A: Yes!, In fact we take care of ALL the details
and all trades-work (including concreting and
electrical) is arranged for you. Rain Source Tanks

A: Yes. QBSA Licence No. 1099054. This is important
for your protection, we recommend you check with
any company giving a quote to ensure a qualifications
and licensing are in place to protect your rights
and ensure works quality.
Q: Can I connect the tank
to the toilet and/or laundry?
A: Yes. Connecting your tank to an internal fixture
can be a great way to reduce your households water
consumption. You may even be eligible for an extra
rebate from your local council.
Q: Can I drink from the
tank?
A: Our tanks conform Australian standards AS 2070
(contact with food) and AS 4020 (contact with
drinking water). Diverters and filters can also
be used to help keep the water clean. This said,
many local councils do not recommend drinking
water from a rainwater tank. You may wish to check
with your local council.
Q What is the time delay
from order to completion?
A: Rain Source Tanks continue to work hard to
provide quicker-than- industry turnaround times.
Contact our office for current information. Our
yard is also constantly re-stocked of delivery-only
pump-diverter and tank packages which can be picked
up immediately or delivered within days.
Q: How do I claim my rebate(s)?
A: Currently in Queensland rebates are available
from the State Government (up to $1000) and many
local Councils.
Rebates are claimed after your tank installation
is completed. At Rain Source we make the claiming
process easy by providing a ‘rebate kit’.
Your consultant will be able to advise you on
rebates.
