Would You Drink What’s in Your Pipes?

Most people never think about the journey their tap water takes before it reaches their glass. It travels through kilometres of ageing pipes, corroded joins, and treatment plants that rely on chemicals to keep bacteria at bay. By the time it enters your home, it may carry chlorine, sediment, or traces of metals. Clean water does not always mean safe water.

What is hiding in your supply

Even in New Zealand, mains water can carry risks. Older pipes release small particles that affect taste and clarity. Disinfectants added for safety often leave a harsh chemical aftertaste. In many neighbourhoods the infrastructure is decades beyond its intended lifespan. The water may look fine, yet still fall short of true purity.

Why rainwater is different

Rainwater starts clean and, when stored correctly, stays clean. A Rain Reserve tank collects water directly from the sky and stores it in a sealed, food grade, BPA free container. There are no chemicals, no additives, and no hidden surprises. The same purity that lands on your roof ends up in your glass.

The health advantage

Families with young children or sensitive immune systems often feel the effects of chemical additives more than others. Using stored rainwater removes chlorine and other industrial treatment chemicals from daily consumption. This improves taste and reduces exposure to contaminants. For anyone who cares about health, sustainability, and long term wellbeing, it is an easy decision.

Safety by design

Rain Reserve tanks are engineered to protect the quality of your water. The BPA free polyethylene shell prevents chemical leaching. The sealed structure keeps out insects, debris, and sunlight, which are common triggers for bacterial growth. It is a system designed for reliability, providing safe water year after year.

Make the switch

You cannot see what travels through your pipes, but you can control what you drink. A Rain Reserve tank gives you independence, safety, and confidence every time you fill a glass. Pure water should not be a luxury. It should be your everyday standard.
