According to Science, about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. You would think that with this huge number, the scarcity of supply will never be an issue. But no thanks to our irresponsible actions and unsustainable practices, we are now facing a global water shortage. Good thing, we’ve thought of an innovative way to mitigate the problem.
As a solution, more people are now considering water storage tank installation in their houses and offices. But most of us still have doubts if this would really be beneficial in the long run. That’s understandable because we want to be sure that our hard-earned funds will not go to waste. So we’ve listed a few reasons why water storage tanks are actually a wise investment.
1. Water restrictions will never be an issue.
Even if you are paying for a constant water supply, there are times that your faucet will go off because of certain water restrictions. Once you have your own stainless steel water tank in your household, you can be sure that in case of unannounced shutdown in your place, there’s extra water for your chores like watering plants, doing laundry, or taking longer showers.
2. It affords more long-term savings.
For some people, purchasing a polyethylene water storage tank seems to be unwise because of its price tag. However, when you weigh up the amount of money you spend on water bills in 12 months and multiply it by five, ten, or even twenty years, the hefty cost can definitely outweigh the price of a water tank. You should also not forget that the cost of water just keeps going up annually.
3. Return of investment is guaranteed.
A properly looked after and well maintained unit can last up to three decades, especially if you’ll get a stainless steel water tank. This particular unit is naturally more durable and has a longer shelf life than other types of tanks. Most of the time, it also comes with a long-term warranty.
4. The water tastes better.
Provided you’re in the province (or in any region that is not highly polluted), any water you catch from your rainwater tank should be perfectly safe to drink. But just to be sure, you should attach a first flush diverter to your downpipe and have the water tested regularly. For extra precautions, you could even attach a water filter to the taps in your home.
5. It adds value to your property.
According to real estate agencies, water storage tanks that were correctly and professionally installed on a property can significantly increase its market value. So when the time comes that you decide to sell your house or your building, these water tanks will be a feature that will add desirability.
