Blackwater is recycled on site in to grey water and used for toilet flushing and washing machine. Grey water is also recycled on site and used for toilet flushing & washing machine. Re: Underground Rainwater Tank 10Aug 10, 2007 1:20 pm Law18 I was just thinking the 22500L would be great for toilets and the garden. Yeah I dont think there would be enough water to run everything though unless you get many large rain events. Hmm that may be a little largish?? Adrian B Re: Underground Rainwater Tank 11Aug 12, 2007 9:12 pm Have you heard about "Smerf"? They sell a underground water tank that is the same size as the waffle pod. Don't know how much it cost, but could be another option for you.
I got some information on my blog here: http://building-our-first-house.blogspot.com/2007/08/others011-smef-water-storage-innovation.html[/url] Re: Underground Rainwater Tank 12Aug 15, 2007 12:24 pm I came across these and they certainly look intresting. Anyone used them before? Comments? They sound good but I am just not sure yet, I like the idea of flexibility with shape and size. Thinking of putting them under some decking, so strength is not really required.

I have 2 13 000L water tanks that provide all our water requirements. We have being in our house for nearly 1 year, only once did we have to switch back to town water. For someone to run out of water from a 100 000L tank, they must have a high water usage! Re: Underground Rainwater Tank 16Aug 17, 2007 8:16 am Well looks like it is out of my price range:
An indicative price of a 40,000L tank fully installed... Includes: excavation, spoil removal, modules, liner, geotextile, sand, filter and pump..... $ 29,500 Oh well, keep looking. Re: Underground Rainwater Tank 18Aug 17, 2007 9:04 am stonecutter1309 Holy crap! My sentiments exactly. Cross of a zero perhaps. Re: Underground Rainwater Tank 19Aug 17, 2007 9:37 am I find it amazing that these new plastic tanks are often more expensive than building a huge concrete one! Re: Underground Rainwater Tank 20Aug 17, 2007 9:40 am I really thought it would be a cheaper option. Perhaps it doesn't scale up well, a 1000L Tank from them might be $2000 which for somethng you can drive over is not too bad I guess.
