Reduce Your Water Rates Bill
Collect Rainwater with a Promax Slimline Tank & Save on Water Rates
Auckland’s water rates are increasing. In July 2023, they were set to rise by 9.5% and with ongoing inflationary pressures and challenging weather conditions, we must ask the question: shall we brace for further increases in the short term?
Here’s a more appealing question to ponder. Have you considered investing in a Promax water tank to save on your water rates?
All Promax storage tanks are reliable ways to capture and store rainwater, which is good for the environment and can help you reduce your water bills for a lifetime. Our Slimline tanks, in particular, are designed to fit into New Zealand’s shrinking residential sections.
The traditional quarter-acre section, which measures about 1,000 square metres, is being consigned to the history books. In our metropolitan centres, houses are now built on blocks half that area – or less. In Auckland, new section sizes have reduced by a third in the past 30 years; Auckland’s new build sections now have a median size of less than 500 square metres, with the average section about 120 square metres smaller than in the rest of New Zealand. A Promax Slimline tank is the perfect fit in tight spots and can supply you with a lot of water and save you just as much money.
Our Slimline range includes our new 1,000 litre Slimline tank. At 1.8 metres high, it’s the same height as the fence, 2.25 metres long and only 31 centimetres wide, this diminutive tank is the least visually intrusive tank on the New Zealand market. You can hide it behind the house or along a fence; however, it is still stormwater compliant, making it easy to satisfy council requirements.
Every tank in our Slimline range includes a built-in seismic restraint, which is the simplest to install by simply bolting it to the concrete slab with four bolts. Our PS1 covers the seismic restraint detail to make it compliant, so there are no consenting issues.
Sections are shrinking, but water rates bills are not – a Slimline tank is the best way to resolve both issues. For great pricing, excellent service, and long-lasting, durable tanks, contact Promax. We’ll make it easy to save water and money.
