Installing a rainwater tank
A rainwater tank collects the water from the roof through the downpipes. It needs a firm, level base, an overflow to the stormwater and a pump to supply toilets, a laundry or garden taps. A rain-to-mains switch, such as a RainBank, changes over to mains water when the tank runs low.
For a new home, the BASIX certificate may set the tank size and what it has to supply. More on gutters and downpipes.
Before we start
- Tell us the tank size and where it will go.
- Let us know what the rainwater will supply, such as toilets, a laundry or garden taps.
- Have the BASIX certificate handy if the tank is for a new home.
Recent tank work
Baulkham Hills, November 2023: two 3,000 litre rainwater tanks for a school
At a school in Baulkham Hills, we installed two 3,000 litre rainwater tanks. We formed and poured the concrete slabs, then put in the new tanks with new pumps and new signage. We connected the tanks to the existing outlets and stormwater lines, and to the water lines for the RainBank.
What our customers say
“Highly recommend these guys. Honest, professional and worked fast. Team rebuilt my stormwater system and installed a pit for me. They did a great job and cleaned up the site really well. 10/10”
“We recently had Eddie come out to our property in Galston to complete some major plumbing works to our property. Eddie and the team were amazing to deal with. We put our trust in them and went with all their recommendations and the result was beyond expectations. Highly recommend!”
Rainwater tank installation

- Overflow to the stormwater. See stormwater drainage.
- Signage on the taps and outlets that run on rainwater.
How a tank installation works
Call 1300 301 354 or book online. Tell us about the tank and where it will go.
We quote a fixed price, and work begins only when you say yes.
We form and pour the slab, then install the tank and pump.
We connect the pipes and the switch, put up the signage and test it all.
A level slab
A full tank is heavy: every 1,000 litres of water weighs about a tonne. At the Baulkham Hills school, we formed and poured a concrete slab for each 3,000 litre tank before it went in.
When the tank runs low
A rain-to-mains switch, such as a RainBank, changes over to mains water when the tank runs low, so the toilets and taps on rainwater keep working. At the Baulkham Hills school, we connected the tanks to the water lines for the RainBank.
What does a rainwater tank installation cost?
The price is fixed before any work starts. It depends on:
- The tank’s size and where it goes.
- The base, such as a new concrete slab.
- The pump and connections, including a rain-to-mains switch.
