I'm building an extension to my house. Had also planned to install rain water harvesting to supply the toilets and the garden. There is no space with the current design. So I looked at installing Bladder Tank(s) under the extension, as this is the only space available.

Would appreciate any comments or suggestions about these products.

Avoid PVC tanks, for a start, flexible PVC contains plasticisers that are recognised in other countries as being carcinogenic and hazardous, if not in Australia...

Water stored in bladders has no air/water interface and if the water is not clean, it can turn stagnant.

Have you considered the several types of space saver tanks available now?

Note that I do not endorse the harvesting method shown on some of the tanks in the above link.
