Australia's wet season corresponds pretty closely to the spring and summer months, ranging from about November to late April. During this time, most of coastal Australia gets quite a lot of rain, and even inland areas get increased amounts. It is easy to watch the rain pour down during these months and wish you had a way of capturing all that wasted freshwater. Luckily, with rainwater tanks, you can! That is why now is the perfect time to go and get one, and here are three more additional reasons to put your mind at ease.
Sales Before The Summer Rush
Right now many home and garden stores have a lot of sales on due to the decreased amount of traffic their stores get over the drier months. They do this to continue getting customers even when they are not at their peak sales period. It is common sense that you should always buy what you need in the alternating seasons so that you can get the best deal, which is why planning ahead is so important. If you don't have rainwater tanks on your property, now is the time to get them for a steal.
Modern Tanks Are Far Better
Not only are modern tanks cheaper than their older counterparts, but they are also far more efficient, have a lot more room, do not age as badly and use less toxic chemicals which could infiltrate the water. If you have an older tank, particularly if it is more than a few decades old, then there is a high chance it has at least a little bit of rust or corrosion that is leaking into the water. Buying a new tank will get rid of this problem, while also ensuring it does not reappear due to the better construction of modern rainwater tanks.
Easier To Install
If you are installing underground rainwater tanks, as many Australians in rural and suburban areas prefer to do, then buying them in winter is the ideal scenario to get them installed. Not only is there less chance of rain but the temperature is much more bearable to work in. That goes for both you or the professionals you hire to install your rainwater tanks. It is always easier to do construction work in winter for this reason, so why not go ahead and treat yourself before the hot, wet months begin.
