That's when you want to use it for drinking and house hold.
Also, use poly tank(cheaper and more reliable).
Indeed the investment on my concept is high and it won't give me much return also. My monthly water bill only rm8-10. Minimum I must pay rm5.
Don't know have to wait how long to get back. This is just like FIT.

You can not put a value on what you have done to save mother earth.
All green technologies or application is usually negative ROI.
the solar power, if not for the government subsidized through FIT is a losing money business lo...
Same for hybrid car.... if not for the tax incentives, the car price itself is already so expensive.

So, don't think about ROI. just keep in your mind and heart that you have done your part help save the earth thumbup.gif

Implementing rain harvest system in terrace house still not that practical.
As for FIT, other country's government are encouraging people to install and give incentives for it but ours we need to pay extra to have the system.

Actually malaysia government already implement FIT by forcing TNB to buy back solar power at a fix high price for a fix number of years...

When it is not opened to all yet, the price that sold back to TNB are much higher and not to mention installation fees are cheaper also.
Now the price are cheaper and installation fees are getting expensive.

2 or 3 years ago, house prices isnt this high as well...
But yup, just my opinion, last time solar board efficiency is quite low... about 10~12% I think, now can easily achieve about 18%
