Rainwater tanks in Exeter
Exeter is a small village between Moss Vale and Bundanoon, surrounded by acreage and hobby farms. Large poly or steel tanks beside sheds and houses, with frost-protected pumps, are typical jobs here.
What to check before installing a tank in Exeter
Cold winter mornings mean exposed pumps and pipework need frost protection. If your block is mapped as bushfire prone, check with your certifier whether a dedicated fire-fighting supply is needed.
Popular tank jobs in Exeter
The most common requests we see for Exeter are rural poly rainwater tanks and tank pumps and filtration. Whatever the tank, it needs a level, compacted base, screened inlets and an overflow directed away from the pad. Connection to your home’s plumbing is work for a licensed plumber.
Typical cost in Exeter
As a guide, a turnkey package including a 22,500L Australian-made poly tank, compacted crusher-dust pad preparation, delivery, pressure pump and basic downpipe connection typically ranges from $4,200 to $7,500, depending on trenching distance and pump specs. The installer will confirm an itemised price after looking at your site.
