One of the key elements to off-grid living is to have your own water source. Collecting rainwater is one way to do this. As a result, water tanks are an important investment. But just how long will a water tank last?
As a general rule of thumb, a water tank should last for around 10 years. Because it lasts for such a long time it provides excellent value for money.
Depending on what you will use your water for, you may need water filtration. This particularly applies if you want to use your water inside the house. This is because unfiltered water can damage appliances like your washing machine and dishwasher.
And if you are wanting to drink your water then it will definitely require water filtration to make it safe for consumption.
As a result, you will need to take a water sample and have it tested. Thereafter, a water filtration system will be designed to address the issues with your water.
Living off-grid means that you will need to have your own water source and power supply. Consequently, you will need to have water tanks to harvest rainwater and also to store water if you have a borehole. So water tanks are a key investment if you are trying to live in a more self-sustaining way.
Those of us living in South Africa understand clearly the need to live in a more self-sustaining way particularly with the fear of a drought hanging over us and the energy crisis we face.
As a result, we are now looking at ways to be more self-sustaining. This may be through installing solar panels, water tanks, investing in water filtration or even exploring alternative sources of water like boreholes.
Whichever way now, we are all purusuing this in whatever capacity we can. And we at the Green Revolution are here to help you in this journey however we can!
