  natural resource- the water.
• However, buying a rainwater tank is not that easy
  task as you think. You need to sit and jot down a
  few things first.
• There are several models available with varying
  capacities and material. Read the technical
  specifications to understand the pros and cons.

Storage Capacity

• What is your family size? What is the amount of
  rainwater you need to store? What is the ratio of
  water storage and consumption?
• All such questions are important because they
  decide the storage capacity of your tank.
• While deciding the size of the tank, you should
  consider the amount of rainwater collected in the
  roof catchment during the rainy season.
• The size has to be in the proportion to the water
  collection and consumption. An oversized or
  undersized tank is not appropriate.
• If the water is going to be used for irrigation,
  then there has to be sufficient buffer so that
  the pump doesnt run dry while watering your
  garden.

What is the purity of the water?

• You are planning to fill the tank with rainwater
  collected in the catchment area of the roof. You
  will install some filtration unit to clean the
  water before storing in the tank.
• However, it is very important to choose a tank
  with smooth interior walls. It helps in keeping
  the tank clean for a longer time.
• If the rainwater contains a large amount of
  minerals, then the internal walls and pipeline
  will get calcium deposit. It causes erosion and
  decay. Get the water testing done before you buy
  the tank.

Ease of Maintenance

• Maintenance is a critical point. Is there any
  self-cleaner installed in the tank? If yes, then
  it is a good think. It cleans all the debris and
  dirt using a vacuum cleaner.
• If not, then you have to call a maintenance
  service for cleaning. The professional cleaners
  bring the necessary tools and equipment to make
  the cleaning perfect. Usually, the cleaning is
  performed after every six months.
• If the quality of the internal walls is good,
  then cleaning becomes pretty easy. Hence, you
  need to do a lot of research before buying the
  tank.

Is it available locally?

• Yes, when you buy the tank, make sure it is
  available in the vicinity. It makes the delivery
  easy. Rainwater tanks are heavy and big.
• Hence, you should pick the nearest supplier. If
  the tank comes from some remote place, then there
  could be a delay in procurement and installation.
• Also, the handling and delivery costs increase
  with the distance.
• Follow these tips and buy the best and the latest
  water tank. It will make the rainwater storing
  easy.
