Tight Spot Tanks – Site Assessment

Our company has many options for harvesting water and rain water storage systems,

from Round & Slimline Tanks to Bladder Storage Systems which can be located under the house or deck areas. We are distributors for the vast majority of products available on the Australian Market. With this in mind, our “Site Assessment” is more than a quotation.

We view your property and provide several options for rain harvesting and/or greywater diversion, and advise the systems best suited. We can also advise on garden irrigation systems and other water saving products.

What is a Site Assessment?

During the “Site Assessment” we will consider the following:

Your reason or end goal is for storage of rainwater or diversion of grey water.
With your goals in mind we view the property and list suitable systems.
If your goal is connection to the properties plumbing; ie toilets and washing machine, we provide options to you on suitable Rainwater Tanks. These may be a slimline colorbond or plastic tank, or bladder tanks under the deck of the house itself.
Once options are given for suitable tanks, we check if it is possible to retrofit to the existing fixtures through new plumbing. We advise what fixtures we can connect on, and fixtures we can not access.
Options are given for both automatic mains backup pump systems, and manual systems. The different pump options will be discussed and a full explanation of the benefits and differences of the options will be made clear.
In addition to the pump systems, the various filter options will be explained in full, as these are an integral part of your rain water storage system.
If you are considering installing a rainwater or greywater system in the garden, we discuss and explain the benefits and differences of both systems, again advising what systems would suit your property.
The garden is measured to outline the “wet area” or square metres of plant area to be irrigated. This allows us to estimate on how much stored rainwater or grey water needed to irrigate the garden effectively using either above surface or sub surface irrigation. When using greywater diversion systems only sub surface irrigation may be used.
When assessing the site for grey water diversion, we take into account the fittings we can access and their weekly output in litres. This allows us to estimate if the fixtures we can access will be sufficient to irrigate the garden at hand, and also to advise on the types of greywater systems that would be suitable to the property.

The cost of a Site Assessment at your property is $39.00 incl gst. This charge covers us for the cost of visiting your site and the time needed to prepare a detailed quotation and design of the different options that will suit your property. The detailed report usually is forwarded to you within 7 days of the Assessment.

The $39 fee is refunded to you in the form of a credit if you decide to proceed with an installation, or a product over $300 is purchased from our company.

* The quotations we supply from a Site Assessment are FIXED PRICE quotations, unless otherwise advised. Unlike many other installers, we do not charge additional costs for extra’s during the installation. Our quotations are extremely detailed and outline every aspect of the installation. Please see below an example of one of our quotations.

FREE On-Line Site Assessment

Another option for customers who are outside the Sydney area is for a Free On-Line Site Assessment. This is done by forwarding us the following information in the form of an email.

The capacity of the tank required.
The dimensions of the area that you have available to place the tank. It assist’s us if you forward the actual space between the building and boundary fence, together with the maximum height of tank and length. Please note when measuring the maximum tank height that the measurement should be under the gutter offset from the downpipe which would be connected to the tank.
Advise if the downpipe we are connecting is currently connected to storm water drainage, and if not, where the nearest connection to a storm water point would be. The overflow of the tank must be connected to a storm water drain.
Advise the type of existing ground cover where the tank is to be located and if it is level or sloping. This will allow us to determine if we can use either a timber framed base filled with crusher dust/blue metal or if a re-inforced concrete slab is required.
Advise of the location of any tap outlets that you would like for the rain water tank and the distance from the pump location.
PHOTO’s of the area, or a small video of the area and location of the above locations would assist us greatly in giving you a good estimate of installation costs.

* For installations that are considering connection to the toilets and/or washing machine an On Location Site Assessment is required to establish if a retro fit is possible, and to assist us in giving an accurate quotation.
