My house in Denai Alam comes with RWH unit. I got rid of it and connected my my tank outlet straight to the garden pipe.
The reason:
1. The tank provided is big and ugly. It also collects rain water (on top of the tank )and became a mosquito breeding ground.Also located near the exterior wall making it easy for theives to stand on while trying to break in.
2. Scared the pump which is located on the ground floor at the back of the house will be easily stolen.
3. It only services the garden tap which i hardly use.
4.Saving water by consuming electricity (pump) does not make environmental sense.


After a long hard thought got my contractor to dispose the tank and gave the pump and switch to my dad.

Collect rainwater from the gutters in your house inside a tank. Then use a pump to circulate water for gardening/toilet/cleaning.

Yup in my housing area they provided a tank outside the house with a pump. I just gave the pump to my dad to build pressure in his house, threw away the RWH tank and joined the pipe work to my main tank in ceiling. So now my garden using tank water.

Gardening, washing car/proch, in some cases toilet flush also can use
