How Safe is Your Tank Water?

Out of sight, out of mind is the way it has always been with tank water but that line of thinking is now changing. After all, why would you drink water that could potentially contain animal faeces as well as sediment, heavy metals and pesticides, when the cost of avoiding this is so reasonable? Often it’s not you but your children or your houseguests who end up getting sick. Many businesses such as B & B’s, restaurants and community schools are realizing the implications untreated water can cause.

In a recent government push, The South Australian Safe Drinking Water Act 2012 has made provisions for registration of water providers and audits of water quality with consumer access to the results.
As Summer approaches E-coli and bacteria levels in rainwater tanks naturally increase as temperatures heat up. A clear signal that something isn’t right is an unpleasant taste or odour coming from your rainwater tank and water supply.

Fortunately, Davey has a way to give your family total peace of mind that will suit your situation and budget.
