Long hot and dry summers are great if you like the beach – but they’re not so great for our water conservation. Some areas are prone to drought, and some areas have seen water restrictions as a result. So, the smart way to get around these and help conserve water, is to install a water tank or rain barrel. You can collect rainwater from your roof, and use it on your garden, or wash your car. Not only will you be reducing your environmental footprint, and increasing your self-sufficiency and sustainability – you might also notice a reduction in your water bills. Here’s how to install a couple of simple systems yourself, Easy As with Mitre 10.

How do you vacuum out the tank? It's stuck in place by the time it comes to the vacuuming and has no opening to put the vacuum in…
Is there a practical reason to not do this in the reverse order to what is described in this video so that the tank can still be maneuvered to vacuum it out after drilling?
Why did you not show us how you put in the water pump outlet into the tank? do you have too climb in the tank to fit this fitting. You need to show this being done
Bought my Slim Jim from my local Mitre10 using Airpoints. Has been sitting in the backyard for a while though, had to design an earthquake bracket and concrete plinth. Should be in before the drought kicks in!
Timely!
Thanks!
