Clean and safe drinking water is vital for every New Zealand household’s health and wellbeing. While the country generally enjoys good water quality, more Kiwis are choosing to harvest rainwater as a sustainable and reliable source of fresh drinking water. When properly collected and treated, rainwater can provide pure, chemical-free water straight from your own roof.
At Just Tanks, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality drinking water. Our rainwater harvesting systems and potable water tanks are designed to deliver safe and clean water for your home or property, giving you confidence in every glass.
Why Clean Drinking Water Matters
Drinking water quality has a direct impact on your health. Contaminated water may cause digestive problems, skin issues, or serious illnesses from bacteria, viruses, or harmful chemicals. Clean water supports hydration, boosts immunity, and promotes overall wellbeing.
Many households rely on municipal water supplies treated with chlorine and other chemicals for safety. However, these treatments can sometimes affect the taste and quality of water. Rainwater, when properly harvested and filtered, provides a natural, additive-free alternative with a fresher taste.
How Rainwater Harvesting Delivers Clean Drinking Water
Rainwater harvesting involves collecting rainfall from your roof, safely channeling it through gutters and pipes, and storing it in a food-grade tank designed to keep water clean and fresh. Before use, the water passes through filtration and disinfection systems, often including sediment filters, activated carbon, and ultraviolet sterilisation to remove impurities and kill harmful microorganisms.
This process ensures the water you drink is not only collected rain but is clean, safe, and healthy.
Health Benefits of Drinking Harvested Rainwater
Using harvested rainwater as your drinking supply offers multiple health advantages:
- Chemical-free water, free from chlorine, fluoride, and other artificial additives.
- Naturally soft water, gentle on skin and hair due to low mineral content.
- Better tasting water, free from chemical flavours found in some treated supplies.
- Supports natural hydration and overall health.
