We have to do ours ourselves (in Piara Waters) and our plans show 2 large soakwells, 1.5m wide each. I have no problem doing this myself, but unsure of the best way to go about it. where is Piara Waters? Im in Perth so have no idea where you could get them from if your not here. We got them from a landscaping place. They only come in one size but 2 weight bearing limits. We have always been told you put in 1 soakwell for each downpipe, so thats what we did. I searched thru our receipts & crap but cant find the name of the company that makes them so I will go up to the place & find out.

Perth Haha you lost me at forestdale. Im lost as soon as i cross that bridge. Nor rocks!! anyways i was wrong about the 1 size thing, they actually have a few diff sizes but the place we got only stocks 1 size in 2 weight categories. They are called Versi Tanks. Here is the Website: http://www.elmich.com.au/versitank/about.php you may have to call around to find them. I asked the chick at the landscape who else sells them but she didn't know.

Hmm after having a quick look at where you are I seriously hope you can find them closer to you. We are building in Yanchep, got them from a landscaping place on Wanneroo Rd Neerabup - bout 10ish mins before Yanchep. Thats a hell drive for you so good luck finding something closer!! maybe you could ask them for a list of their distributors Re: Soakwell & aircon - do I let the builder do this? 27Apr 21, 2009 8:10 am ah I know the place. thanks. I use to work in Yanchep but lived in Joondalup before we moved to Donnybrook so I drove past it every day.
