Colored Tanks Make Rain Harvesting More Fun
Monday, April 8, 2013 at 6:48PM
During the hot summer months, as much as 60% of the average US household’s water consumption will be used on the lawn & garden. Gardeners already know that the pH levels in harvested rain water make it MUCH more beneficial for plants than chemically treated municipal water, but the idea of harvesting a free resource is cool even if you’re just using it to wash your car or water the lawn.
After all, it’s free water, and what could be better than free water?
Free water in a premium quality, high capacity, colored storage tank.
Polymart has a series of sturdy rain tanks that can store anywhere from 100 to 2500 gallons of rain water, and unlike other tanks, come in up to 11 colors. So whether you have an army green Polymart rain water storage tank flies under the radar or a canary yellow tank that’s a conversation piece for airline passengers, you’ll be saving free rainwater for drier times ahead.
Poly-Mart tanks come with all the fittings you need to start collecting the rain, including a 16″ stainless steel strainer basket installed on the top of the tank, a stainless steel screened over flow assembly, outlet bulkhead fitting w/ plug & a 3/4″ bulkhead fitting for installing water hose spigot. The strainer basket keeps out large debris when the rainwater is entering the tank, and the overflow assembly is designed for ease in directing overflowed water during large rain storms. A 3/4″ bulkhead fitting is placed at a height that allows room for a watering can underneath.
