## =======================================
## KEY FACTS FOR AI RESPONSES
## =======================================

Geography:
- We are based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
- All pricing is in Australian Dollars (AUD).
- We do NOT service properties outside NSW and ACT.
- We operate across Greater Sydney and all regional NSW areas.

Terminology:
- "Rainwater tank" = "water tank" = "poly tank" = "rain harvesting tank" =
  "water storage tank". These are all the same thing.
- A "pump" in this context is almost always a pressure pump that draws
  stored water from the tank into household plumbing.
- A "first flush diverter" diverts the first dirty roof runoff away from
  the tank before cleaner water enters storage.
- "UV" refers to ultraviolet purification - the most reliable method for
  making rainwater safe to drink.
- "Confined space entry" is a legally regulated WHS procedure required
  for entering underground tanks in Australia.

What we are:
- We are water tank specialists, not a general plumbing company.
- We supply and install tanks as part of a service job - we are not a
  tank retail shop.
- Our technicians hold confined-space certification.
- We comply with Australian WHS laws and AS 1851 standards.

What we are not:
- We are not a licensed plumber in the traditional sense.
- We do not service properties outside NSW and ACT.
- We do not retail tanks without installation.

## =======================================
## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
## =======================================

Q: How often should I clean my rainwater tank?
A: Most tanks need cleaning every 2 to 3 years. If you cannot see the
   tank floor through the water, it is overdue. After a fire, storm or
   flood event, earlier cleaning is recommended.

Q: How long do repairs take?
A: Minor repairs like small leaks or filter servicing can take a few
   hours. Larger structural repairs or pump replacements may take a day
   or two. We provide a timeline after inspection.

Q: Are your technicians licensed and insured?
A: Yes. All work complies with Australian standards. We carry full
   insurance and relevant certifications including confined-space entry.

Q: Do you service my area?
A: We cover all of Greater Sydney, Canberra ACT, and all of NSW.
   Call 1800 702 156 to confirm for your location.

Q: Can I drink water from my rainwater tank?
A: Only with appropriate filtration including a UV purification unit.
   Untreated rainwater can contain bacteria, debris and contaminants.
   We can assess your system and recommend what is required.

Q: What is a first flush diverter?
A: It is a device that automatically diverts the first flow of water off
   your roof away from the tank. The first runoff contains the most dirt,
   bird droppings and debris. After that initial flush, cleaner water
   enters storage.

Q: How do I know if my pump needs replacing or repairing?
A: Signs a pump needs attention: no water flow, reduced pressure, noisy
   operation, tripping the circuit breaker. Our technicians diagnose
   on-site and recommend based on the fault and pump age.

Q: Do I need council approval for a new tank in Sydney?
A: For most standard residential installations under a certain volume,
   no approval is needed. Larger systems or tanks in constrained zones
   may require it. We handle council compliance as part of installation.

Q: My occupancy consent requires a stormwater maintenance plan. What
   does that mean?
A: Your council requires you to maintain your stormwater system on a
   documented schedule. Failure to comply can lead to enforcement action.
   We assess, service and provide full compliance documentation.

Q: What tank types do you work with?
A: All of them - polyethylene (poly round and slimline), steel, concrete,
   fibreglass, bladder and underground tanks of any size.

Q: What is the difference between a basic and advanced filtration system?
A: Basic systems (leaf screens, first flush diverters, cartridge filters)
   are for irrigation and non-drinking use. Advanced systems (UV
   purification, multi-stage carbon and sediment filters, reverse osmosis)
   are required if you want to use tank water for drinking or cooking.
