Greywater & Rainwater generally goes untreated, allowing the increase of contaminates & bacterial growth. Cross contamination from stored water in domestic dwellings is on the rise. With the introduction of Rainwater tanks & Greywater tanks into domestic dwellings, government incentives, rebates & the ability to aid in the catchment of water for personal/domestic use has many benefits as long as the water is decontaminated. Throughout the agricultural industry, sterilisation of stored water allows for less vet bills & higher yield of animal produce as a result of more sterile, clean drinking water. The treatment of Greywater is also imperative due to the extremely high levels of contaminates already within the stored water system from sources such as, showers, kitchen sinks, basins & washing machines. With the knowledge as a 'Tank pro' you can maintain water for consumption & interaction by sterilisation. Greywater is not designed to be consumed, however if safely sterilised, can be used safely & effectively in the garden & around the home. Contaminated Greywater can leave bacterial micro-organisms on plant life & hard surfaces causing cross-contamination, also killing plant life. Greywater should never be used on vegetable growth unless sterilised or decontaminated. Rainwater harvested from rooftops & catchment areas also contain tannins from environmental pollutants (leaves) & faecal colliforms derived from animal droppings. Stored Rainwater should also be sterilised to avoid bacterial growth & cross contamination.
