Water tanks for drinking water
Hi Everybody,
We've purchased a block with a shed house on and our longer term plan is to build our own house and new sheds. We aim to have water tanks to collect rainwater from each of the new buildings but we're not sure what type of tank is suitable so that we can use the water for domestic purposes (particularly drinking).
We grew up in the country and drinking water came from a corrugated iron tank on a tank stand. When it got a bit tired, it was concreted to fix the leaks, so our experience of drinking water is based on steel or concrete.
Are the poly tanks that are now available suitable for use for drinking water? Do any of the compounds in the plastic leech into the water over time?
Thanks
Linda and Laurie
