Estimate how much water you use

The greatest variable in determining the size of your tank will be assessing how much water you use. Water usage will depend on a range of factors such as:



the extent to which water saving devices (such as water-wise showerheads, half-flush toilets, front-loading washing machines, etc) are used


how frequently and long people shower for


the amount of water used in the garden


whether animals are kept on the property
