Water storage


We agonised for a long time about a tank for the shouse.  What we really wanted was something that would not ruin the beautiful rainwater that we would catch; for what is the point of collecting pure water if it just sits in plastics that leach chemicals that mimic the hormone oestrogen.   Although we have PVC downpipes, we figure the water flows through them pretty quickly and hope that they don't have a huge effect on the quality of our water.  Eventually we hope to replace them with something less toxic (stainless downpipes and, perhaps, ceramic underground).

We eventually sourced a stainless tank from Designer Tanks that did not have a plastic liner and we are very happy with it.
