CFA FIRE WATER TANK

A steel water tank with a CFA fire kit is now a common requirement when building a house in a rural area. To meet local council requirements and to receive final approval. These universal connections help the CFA to fight fires in fire prone areas. Within the industry we call these tanks – CFA Fire Water Tank.

Local councils will advise the minimum amount of water that must be available for the CFA. These fittings are a quick fitting that will attach the fire hose. See images below.

Often customers will combine the CFA fire requirements and their own domestic requirements and purchase a larger steel water tank. Read the rest

Can I drink the water from my water tank?

Yes – this is an easy question to answer and there is a reasonably cheap way to supply your house with fresh clean water from your water tank.

Firstly, you will need a water tank.  For domestic residences we would recommend a 4,000 or 5,000 tank in the slimline range.  For a rural blocks and potentially no mains water connected blocks, we would recommend the largest round tank that fits your budget and rain fall quota to ensure continuous water supply.

You will require a pump.  For domestic blocks we would always recommend a mains-connected pump.  This will ensure continuous water supply even if water in the tank is low.  Read the rest
