Re: Rainwater catchment 16Nov 21, 2016 8:18 pm If you have a standard rainwater harvesting system, you will need pvc downpipes but there would usually only be a couple of downpipes affected. Contracturally, they have you over a barrel. The big problem is that the wording is vague and you don't know what you are actually getting or if you even need what they intend doing. It should have been properly worded and explained to you. Answer needed I asked what we are being supplied for the $880 we paid and this is the reply from the builder. They say we are paying for building variation we made. This is the exact reply. As per variation you are paying for 100mm diameter PVC downpipes in lieu of Colorbond plus an additional run for approximately 5 meters to a point of discharge that you will be able to connect your future tank to. The way I read the builder's discombobulated reply is... 1. You are almost certainly paying for a variation. This is usually a $500 charge. Ouch!!! 2. You are having all of your Colorbond downpipes replaced with cheaper PVC downpipes. 3. I can only assume that the "5 metres to a point of discharge that you will be able to connect your future tank to" is a connection to the stormwater from the proposed tank's overflow connection. 3in1 Supadiverta.
