Nothing beats the sound of rain falling during a drought; especially if you have a rain-water tank installed to collect all that precious liquid. Lucas House and Garden will supply and install you with a tank, pump and all the required fittings to get you started. We can also connect your rainwater to your irrigation system and/or your toilet. Don’t forget to ask us how to claim your government rebate. Why install a tank? Melbourne’s water crisis and resultant water restrictions have severely limited our ability to water our gardens. For full details please follow the link shown below. In summary we cannot water our lawns from mains water ever and we can only water our garden for 2 hours twice a week. Our diminishing storages mean that we could soon be facing stage 4 water restrictions which ban all use of mains water in gardens. If you want to keep a healthy lawn and a thriving garden you should seriously consider installing a water tank. Which tank is right for me? Every house and garden is unique and requires a tailor-made solution. Many Melbourne properties have limited space and may be suited to a slim-line tank or bladder tank which can be hidden under a deck or house. Residences with large garden should only consider larger tanks (eg 10,000L) whilst a smaller garden may be perfectly suited to a 2,500L tank. LH&G are the experts in this field and we can advise you on the best solution for your circumstance. Choosing the right tank is only part of the picture. You will most likely need a water pump and this is an area that is commonly misunderstood. Talk to us to find out what pump is right for you and why. Can my irrigation system work with tank water? Yes! We can connect your tank water into your new or existing irrigation system. In most cases the connection will be designed so that the irrigation can operate from either mains water or tank water as your needs require. We recommend drip system for tank water whenever possible because they are more efficient users of water. Our tank water connections to irrigation systems are finely filtered to ensure reliable operation. The time for waiting has passed.
