We are considering using the plastic catchment tank made by Chemtainer, www.chemtainerofhawaii.com which , I think, are manufactured on island. We like the idea that the tank is enclosed so there is less of a chance of critters in the tank and the plastic will not rust. The diadvantage is that the largest tank available on island is only 4,000 gallons. We have a large roof so we may have enough water for our needs with this size tank. Some where we read that our area (Kehena Beach) gets 70" of rain a year.
The Guidelines on rainwater catchment systems for Hawai'i booklet says some insurance companies require a 10,000 gallon tank. Does anyone have experience with these tanks? Does your insurance company require the 10,000 tank?
