Harvest Mother Nature’s Precious Water With the Most Efficient Rain Collection System on the Market Today. This system collects 100% of the rain on your roof; puts money back in your pocket and allows you to use recycled water in your toilet, laundry, garden and home.
As you no doubt realise, clean and potable water remains an issue here in Southeast Queensland, especially regarding recycled water, desalinated water, and rainwater tanks. All new buildings, residential and commercial, are required to be outfitted with rain water tanks for irrigation and toilet flushing.
For existing buildings it is important in the long term to create sustainable methods to conserve valuable rainwater without destroying the aesthetics of your home or business. From our experience, a Rain-Return® system is the best of its kind, allowing a rainwater tank to collect 100% – vs. the average of 10% – of rainwater falling on your roof.
A Rain-Return® system harvests all the water from your storm water drains which, in turn, collect all the water from the roof. A simple underground pit pumps the water back to your storage tank. When the storage tank is full a float valve activates and the pump stops pumping and allows the water to continue through the normal storm water drain system.
Whywait Plumbing can design a system for you like those we’ve installed for Westfield Helensvale Shopping Centre, AB Paterson College, or Robina State School. With your new Rain-Return® system, you can:
-
Maximise your storage capacity
-
Collect 100% of rain falling on the roof plus air conditioning & roof condensation
-
Reduce your water bills
-
Eliminate ugly piping systems to your rainwater tank
-
Comply with water sustainability requirements
Rain water can now be used in urban areas for:
-
Laundry cold water supply to the washing machine
-
Washing & cleaning
-
Washing your cars & boats
-
Irrigating your gardens & lawn
And, provided certain precautions are taken into account including adherence to backflow requirements, rainwater harvesting can also provide drinkable water that is free from chemicals, such as chlorine, which are used to treat our main potable water supplies.
Whywait Plumbing has been installing rainwater storage systems for more than 30 years. What’s more, we are a licensed GreenPlumber™ and, as such, have been at the forefront in developing and installing urban tanks.
With a fully-installed rainwater harvesting system from Whywait, you can count on:
-
a complete site inspection to ensure the system recommended will work correctly
-
a range of systems to choose from
-
a guaranteed installation date
-
installation and certification by a licensed plumber

“Choose Reverse Osmosis…”
For the Purest Water You Can Drink at Home!
Your Body Absorbs Harmful Chemicals. But It’s not Designed to Filter Them Out. Reason Enough to Consider a Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System for You Home.
What Your Body Absorbs, And What It Can’t Filter Out.
More and more, organic foods are being made available to you in restaurants, food stores and vitamin shops. The more you consume organic foods and beverages, the fewer toxic chemicals you’re ingesting…and that promotes a healthier lifestyle.
Unfortunately, there are still far too many inorganic substances we consume on a daily basis, and increasingly this comes to us through our potable drinking water supplies.
Fluoride, for example, remains a hot topic throughout the world. Specifically, the so-called dental benefits of this chemical compound are not universally accepted as a given. But now fluoride has been added to Queensland’s water supply, and that’s a reality that must be faced.
Whether you are pro or con on the fluoride as a water additive, fluoride is one more toxin added to your body…and one more toxin that your body cannot filter out. So here’s the question: if your body can’t filter out harmful toxins, shouldn’t you be looking for ways to have your them filtered out for you before you drink the water?
The only proven method to remove fluoride in the long term is through Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration (RO). Simply put, Reverse Osmosis filtration is the total removal of introduced chemicals, dissolved salts, and metallic ions. Water that has undergone Reverse Osmosis water filtration can be up to 98% pure.
Advantages of Drinking Reverse Osmosis Filtered Water
- RO filtration eliminates almost all salts & minerals from your drinking water.
- Drinking RO purified water prevents incompatible toxins from entering our bodies.
- Best of all it removes & flushes out inorganic mineral deposits already present…the kind that create arthritis in the joints, deposits in the gallstones & kidney stones & deposits on artery walls.
- RO also filters out sulfates, arsenic, aluminum radioactivity and all other harmful parasites and viruses.
- It eliminates the spots and discolouration (dental fluorosis) on your teeth.
Disadvantages of Drinking Reverse Osmosis Filtered Water
- RO filtered water is stripped of its chemistry and is demineralised
- RO water is free of components that balance or stabilise the pH of water, so water with a low pH is known to be aggressive (corrosive).
- RO water always leaves some mineral component that takes the edge off the aggression, however if a simple pH test indicated the water is below 6.8 pH it may also have the ability to leach precious minerals from our body.
But let’s not forget that RO water is healthier, tastes better, is odour-free, and the systems are easy to maintain.
The purpose of an RO membrane is to remove 95-98 % of all contaminants and it does this extremely well. Once we have this near pure water we can begin to develop it to suit our needs.
