Rainwater Cisterns for Private Homes

Rainwater Cisterns

A cistern is a container for holding liquids such as water. They are generally used for rainwater catchment and storing rainwater. Currently, some individuals choose to use theirs to supply water for everything from drinking water to washing clothes. Most, however, only use this water for irrigation because of concerns over the quality of the water.

Different models of rainwater cisterns offer an assortment of different features. Some are equipped with pumps and filters. Others are completely open while some are only partially covered from the elements. Each of these variations serve a specific purpose in harvesting rainwater. Cisterns that come without a cover are perfect for collecting the maximum amount of rainwater. They can however also collect mosquitoes and algae that could carry diseases harmful to humans. This is why most people choose covered models for their rain harvesting. A quality cistern can be a great addition to your house.
