I've done some more thinking about my proposed setup and I think trying to connect drainpipe C to the tanks is going to be problematic. Even if we can attach the Supadiverta to the left of the drainpipe and merge the pipes into one so as to avoid the garage door, when we reach the pavement we are go...

Hi again Save H20 There is an 84cm gap on the left hand side between the window and Drainpipe B. Drainpipe C is very close to the boundary though. Is this going to be a problem for fitting a Supadiverta? https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/19040_1665629793.jpg Also the ground level actually slopes up a b...

Hi Save H20, Yes I can see the sense in having the tank closest to the pump supplying the water for the washing machine. So there aren't any concerns about the tank receiving the first load of water from the Supadivertas being that distance away? That would be a relief because we don't want the roun...

Hi SaveH20 Wonderfully detailed response, which is going to take me some time to digest. Just a couple of queries... I was assuming the Thintank would receive the first load of water and the round tank would be the settling tank. That's why I put the round tank nearest the easement and furthest from...

I am trying to finalise the details of our new rainwater harvesting system before we start landscaping. We intend to use three Supadivertas (see https://www.supadiverta.com.au) to connect the three downpipes on the south side of our house to the rainwater tanks. The advantage of using the Supadivert...

Current weather news reports warn of a "polar blast" bringing cold weather to southern Australia but what causes a "polar blast".. The screenshot below shows the South Polar Jet Stream has temporarily extended north far enough to reach over the southern Australian mainland. As A...
So does that mean we will oscillate between really high temperatures and really low temperatures and nothing in between?

This article is the first in a short series published in the Guardian last Monday on the future of Australian housing and talks mainly about planning deficiencies in new suburbs in the Wyndham area, chiefly the Elements estate in Truganina. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/nov/15/a-br...

So the more things change, the more they stay the same.:( I feel so sorry for you. It might be worth speaking to Mauromario's lawyer, Mark Croft, if you are in a financial position to do so. But I think you already know about him.

I wouldn't hold my breath about any disciplinary action against the BS by the VBA unless they have seriously lifted their game in the last few years. In our case all they did was write a letter to the BS telling him not to do it again. I'll be interested to hear what sort of disciplinary action they...

So if I understand that table correctly our pressure loss with the 32mm pipe is going to be less than 0.02 kPa/m. That's very good news. :-D

Wow - that is an incredibly detailed analysis of our pump setup. Thanks for taking the time to do that. So if we upgrade to the 32 mm blue stripe pipe do you have any idea of the maximum distance we could site the new rainwater tank?

Reviving this thread as we are now in a position to do something about sorting out our less than ideal rain water tank system. We are intending to move the 2500 litre poly tank to the easement for which we will have to get permission from City West Water. This will enable us to finish paving at the ...

That's monstrous! but the word "fr.ud" is not allowed to be used in connection with the building industry. I remember a telephone conversation with a representative from the VBA in which I accused our builder of fr.udulent behaviour. You would think I had slaughtered a baby in front of him...

So just to be clear...every structural engineer came up with a different report? Or did they all find the same defects and just put the blame somewhere more convenient to their client?

You are oh so right Harts. It's like a game of "pass the parcel" except we all know where the parcel is going to stop - the consumer. And to paraphrase Amy Winehouse - in too many cases at the moment, "building" is a losing game.

My experience of dealing with the VBA is precisely that the public servants dealing with your complaint understand nothing about the building regulations and rely on people you can't deal with or hear from for advice. So even when you provide them with the relevant regulations and documented proof t...
