ive got a rainwater tank i want plumbed up to the dunny. im finding it difficult to get a plumber that will do it. all refuse so far. why is this?? its all brand new tank and stuff. its an easy job as far as im concerned and i would do it myself but i want the $800 rebate and needs a plumber to do it for me.

northern area, have no idea cost, plumber would probably do it in an hour plus parts. its all external above ground, no digging.

Bear in mind too that you need to have a towns water back up incase the tank empties, which will require a backflow prevention device of some sort, in NSW they require a testable device and if thats the case in Sth OZ you might find the fellas youve called may not have sat the backflow prevention course and therefore arent qualified to install or test a device, just some food for thought.
