In this video Resident Builder Peter Wolfkamp showcases a simple solution to maximise your Slim Jim water tank. Connecting the slimline tank to a garden pump opens up many possibilities for water use around your home and garden.
The tank is set up to collect rainwater from the roof of the shed, making use of water that would otherwise be washed away. By connecting the tank to a garden pump, Peter is able to get some pressure into the hose. This collected rain water can be used in many non-potable sources around your home, use it to water the garden, fill the paddling pool, or to wash the car.
The Slim Jim gives you the ability to reduce your water charges, become water self-sufficient and eliminate the impacts of drought or water restrictions on your lawns and gardens.
From conception, Slim Jim has been designed to be an easy and attractive solution for stormwater retention and detention. The flat ends allow for installation of inlets, overflows, and council-required orifices. Slim Jims can be installed side by side or end to end to create water storage or detention blocks and can act as functional fences or barriers to create different zones within your outdoor space.
Sometimes, simple solutions are the best ones.
