Rainwater tanks are here to stay. Not only is the general populace turning to them as the realization sinks in that water is a scarce resource, but they are also being legislated by government at all levels. The unfortunate problem is that the vast majority are not the most attractive additions to the built environment, particularly the latest round of polypropylene models, which are mostly big beige blobs.
Full Tank, grown as an adjunct to a Melbourne based architectural firm, has spotted this need in the market and in response has presented the LUMI water tanks. Using Plexiglass in a variety of saturated colours, these tanks have been designed to fit into urban environments as an alternative to a naked normal water tank. The material used has a satin finish, which glows in the sunlight and illuminates by night with internal LEDs. LUMI is fully recyclable and compatible with greywater recycling systems and rainwater diverters. The outer casing can be retro-fitted to most domestic sized rainwater tanks.

Almost worth getting one for the looks alone… Shame our tank is behind the garage where no one can see it…

Love the tanks, am looking forward to instructions on aquaculture and GMO’ed super veggies that grow bug free and faster in my garden. I need these to provide additional protein and fiber for my family as we work our way through the “Great Depression” We will need self-sustaining solar lighting systems and solar cell phones as well as a cheap home heating system like geo thermal/solar. I appologize for even looking at the current market overload of McMansions, and will now be looking for super insulated, rainwater conserving, solar oriented smaller survival units with gardens, composting and maybe even room for a few chickens. McMansions were a harmful, evil extravagance we could not afford, and now we must pay the price, and re-build using the best of science and technology to attain “zero running cost, zero maintenance sensible survival oriented country strengthening homes – it is our patriotic duty!
