Making Your Rainwater System Work Smarter
Integrating Rainwater Into Your Existing Plumbing
A professionally installed rainwater tank should work seamlessly with your home’s existing plumbing. Lexity connects rainwater systems to toilets, laundry appliances, outdoor taps, irrigation systems, and other approved fixtures, allowing you to maximise water savings throughout the year.
Every installation includes correctly sized filtration equipment, pressure control components, isolation valves, and quality plumbing connections to ensure dependable performance and straightforward servicing when required.
Our systems also incorporate automatic mains water changeover technology. If your stored water level becomes low during dry weather, the system automatically switches to mains water without interrupting your supply. Once rainfall refills the tank, the system returns to harvested rainwater automatically, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of water harvesting without manually operating valves or monitoring tank levels.
Benefits Of Installing A Rainwater Tank
A Practical Investment For Melbourne Homes
Rainwater tanks offer both immediate and ongoing advantages for homeowners looking to improve water efficiency. As Melbourne’s water costs continue to rise and seasonal restrictions become increasingly common, harvesting rainwater provides greater independence while helping reduce household water expenses. Many local councils also offer rebates that improve the overall value of installing a rainwater system.
The environmental advantages extend well beyond reducing water bills. Rainwater tanks help reduce stormwater entering Melbourne’s drainage network, assist with flood management during heavy rainfall, and provide an alternative water source for gardens during dry periods. They also offer a reliable reserve during temporary supply interruptions. Installing a rainwater harvesting system allows Melbourne households to reduce their environmental impact while creating a more resilient and sustainable property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Common Rainwater Tank Questions
Many Melbourne property owners ask similar questions before investing in a rainwater harvesting system. Below are answers to some of the topics we discuss most often.
Q. Which rainwater tank capacity should I choose?
The ideal tank size depends on your roof catchment area, available installation space, household water usage, and the fixtures you plan to connect. We assess your property before recommending the most practical storage capacity.
Q. Will I need council approval before installation?
Approval requirements vary depending on your property’s location and the type of installation. Our team explains any relevant council or building requirements before work begins.
Q. Can a rainwater tank help reduce water bills?
Yes. Using harvested rainwater for toilet flushing, garden irrigation, laundry appliances, and approved plumbing fixtures can significantly reduce your reliance on mains water, helping lower ongoing water costs.
Q. Is rainwater suitable for drinking?
Rainwater can be used for drinking when the correct treatment and filtration systems are installed. We can recommend suitable filtration options based on your intended water usage and relevant health requirements.
Q. How often should a rainwater tank be serviced?
Regular inspections help maintain water quality and system performance. Cleaning gutters, checking filters, inspecting pumps, and servicing valves all contribute to reliable operation throughout the year.
Q. What happens when the tank runs out of water?
Our automatic changeover systems switch your property to the mains water supply whenever tank levels become low. Once rainfall refills the tank, the system automatically returns to harvested rainwater without requiring manual intervention.
