Maintenance
Your rain head’s Clean Shield” screen is mostly self-cleaning. However, it is prudent to periodically inspect it to check if cleaning is necessary.
A common misconception about collecting rainwater is that all you need is a roof, a tank, and some rain. This ‘tanking’ approach cannot always be relied on to deliver the volume – or quality – of water that you require. That is where we can help.
With some thought, your rain harvesting system can provide you with cleaner water and lots of it. Whether you’re completely reliant on tank water or want to keep the garden green, our simple steps will help you achieve your goal.
The Rain Harvesting approach to rainwater collection involves using tested and proven products to make quality rainwater available for use in and around your property. You don’t need much to get started and you will be surprised how easy it is to get the most out of your rainwater system.
