Garden Taps & Water Tanks – Expert Advice for Australian Homes


In Canberra and across Australia, water conservation is a priority. Garden taps and water tanks are essential for keeping your garden healthy and your water bills low. Our professional plumbing team is here to help with expert advice, installation, and maintenance—while also recognising that some straightforward tasks can be managed by homeowners.

Choosing and Installing the Right Garden Tap

Why the Right Tap Matters
Selecting a durable, weather-resistant garden tap is important for Australian conditions. The right tap will withstand Canberra’s climate and water pressure, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Types of Garden Taps

  • Brass Taps: Durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for most gardens.

  • Stainless Steel Taps: Modern and long-lasting, with excellent resistance to rust.

  • Other Materials: Less common and generally less durable.

Professional Installation Benefits
Our licensed plumbers ensure your tap is installed correctly, meets local regulations, and is leak-free. We assess your garden’s needs, handle all the technical details, and guarantee quality workmanship.

What You Can Do
For minor tasks—like replacing a hose fitting or tightening a connection—many homeowners are comfortable doing it themselves. However, for installations involving mains water, complex plumbing, or compliance with local regulations, professional installation is recommended for safety and peace of mind.
