Rainwater Tanks
Saving on your bills shouldn’t mean sacrificing efficiency.

You’ll enjoy continuous access to water while contributing to environmental sustainability.
For expert repairs and installations of your rainwater tank system, our team is ready to help.
Septic Composting
If you’re mindful of your water usage, you’ll be surprised by how much water flushing a toilet can consume. A composting toilet offers an alternative by eliminating the need for flushing and plumbing. Waste is collected in a composting chamber, where a quiet fan circulates air, reduces odours, and promotes evaporation, providing an eco-friendly solution for waste removal.
For homes that rely on septic systems, combining composting toilets with a well-maintained septic tank system can further optimise waste management and water conservation.

Eco Solutions FAQ’s
How Does a Solar Hot Water System Work, and How Much Can I Save?
A solar hot water system uses sunlight to heat water, reducing reliance on electricity or gas. On average, you can save 50% to 80% on hot water costs, depending on factors like property size and usage, while also lowering your carbon footprint.
How Does a Composting Toilet Compare to a Standard Toilet?
Unlike a standard toilet, a composting toilet doesn’t flush waste away. Instead, it stores waste in a chamber where a fan controls odours and promotes circulation and evaporation. The waste is composted with materials like sawdust or popcorn. Since composting toilets use no water for flushing, they’re an excellent way to reduce water usage and support environmental sustainability.
How Can I Reduce My Water Consumption with Eco-Friendly Plumbing Solutions?
Reducing water usage can be achieved by installing water-efficient fixtures like low-flow shower heads, dual-flush toilets, and aerators on taps. Additionally, rainwater tanks and composting toilets help further reduce reliance on the mains water supply by providing alternative water sources and reducing the need for flushing.
What Are the Environmental Benefits of Using a Rainwater Tank?
- Reduces pressure on municipal water systems, conserving treated water for essential needs.
- Decreases water wastage by collecting rainwater for tasks like gardening, washing, and even drinking (with proper filtration).
- Helps reduce your carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption associated with water treatment and transportation.
- Supports water conservation efforts, particularly in areas facing drought or water shortages.
What Maintenance Do Eco Plumbing Systems Require?
Eco plumbing systems like solar hot water systems and rainwater tanks require minimal upkeep. Simply clean solar panels regularly, inspect filtration systems, and ensure rainwater tanks are free of debris. Composting toilets need occasional emptying of the composting chamber but are otherwise low-maintenance compared to standard toilets.
Are There Government Rebates or Incentives for Installing Eco Plumbing Solutions?
Many areas offer rebates and incentives for installing energy-efficient and eco-friendly plumbing solutions, such as solar hot water systems, rainwater tanks, and water-saving fixtures. Check with your local government or energy provider to find out about available programs and determine your eligibility for financial support.
