How much does it cost to install a rainwater tank?

The broad answer to this question is; a poly rainwater tank will likely set you back anywhere between $1000 and $8000** for water storage from 1000L to 50,000L, and a steel rainwater tank will set you back somewhere between $4750 and $23,750** for water storage from 10,000L to 280,000L.

Is a rainwater tank worth it?

Rainwater tanks are a great way to ensure your own water supply, helping to avoid any water restrictions, or any issues for rural families with limited access to mains water. Rainwater tanks also help keep storm water run off off of roads and paths, helping to protect against storm damage and taking pressure off of soakwells and stormwater drains.

What is a good size rainwater tank?

Generally, rainwater tanks can be classed as: Small - less than 2,000L, Medium - between 2,000L and 10,000L, Large greater than 10,000L. Many people purchasing a rainwater tank may have no access to mains water, or be looking to reduce their reliance on it, so it is important to ensure you have more than enough rainwater harvesting ability, and a large enough water tank for your needs. Water tanks in the 100 000L range are the size most often recommended for domestic household supply in areas near most of Australia's capital cities, and typically enough water to suit three people's domestic usage.

Can you drink water from a rain water tank?

Is the water safe to drink? Generally yes. A properly maintained rainwater tank can provide good quality drinking water. Providing the rainwater is clear, has little taste or smell and is from a well maintained water catchment system it is probably safe and unlikely to cause any illness for most users.

Do rainwater tanks save money?

Enormous water tanks may appear to be costly to introduce, yet they keep going for quite a while. All the water you gather once introduced is likewise allowed to utilize – so you can set aside cash in the long haul. Each time the cost of your mains water supplies go up, you will save considerably more with a water framework.

Beauty Point Water Tanks

Pioneer Water Tanks have been a leading Beauty Point water tank supplier and manufacturer for more than 30 years.

People of Beauty Point know that they can rest assured, knowing they have the backing and support of Australia's number one big tank company.

Tasmania is often seen from the outside as a rainy green region all over, however, residents know better, and have their water supply demands in mind.

Beauty Point is a town by the Tamar River, in the north-east of Tasmania, around 45 km north of Launceston. Beauty Point was originally established as the first deep water port on the Tamar River, first established as a port to service the nearby gold mine town of Beaconsfield, after the gold rush ended, it became a centre for the export of apples.

Bushfire Protection in the Australian Summer

Bushfire preparation

Despite being a magnificent and green part of the country, many parts of Tasmania are plagued by green drought, which means in the hot, dry summer months, vegetation is dry and vulnerable to wildfires.

An important way to prepare for the drier summer months is to ensure that you not only have a bushfire action plan, but also that you have sufficient water storage to help you and emergency services protect against the threat of wildfires.

Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve in your tank, to ensure it can be used for both household water storage and fire protection.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

A Pioneer Water Tank performed better than the competition in bushfire simulation when testing was performed by the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC in partnership with the CSIRO.

After thirty minutes of submersion in flame, the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water, a crucial feature for firefighting efforts, while the other tanks tested either melted or cracked, causing their water to be partially or fully lost.

If your water tank has been subjected to fire, it is important to ensure that you get your water tested as soon as possible to make sure that it is safe for food preparation or drinking. The water would, however, still be suited for purposes such as watering gardens or lawns.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Beauty Point climate

Beauty Point sits in a oceanic climate region, with temperate weather and four distinct seasons. It sees warm sunny summer months, with the majority of rainfall coming between June and August.

These favourable conditions have led to Beauty Point having a booming wine growing, cattle and sheep industry, and today serves as a port for exporting apples from local agricultural regions.

Rainwater run-off and flooding

In areas across rural Australia, rainfall is often a welcome sight, and Tasmania is certainly no different.

When consistent rainfall accumulates, this can lead to flooding and storm water run off, which can cause damage to property and the environment, particularly in areas where man made infrastructure such as roads and footpaths cause the water to be unable to soak in to the soil.

If 100mm of rain fell on Beauty Point in just 24 hours, in order to prevent 2 million litres of rainfall from entering stormwater systems, it would require just 100 homes fitted with rainwater tanks and appropriate guttering.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Proven to prevent the growth of undesirable bacteria in your water tank, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner is the only antimicrobial water tank liner available on the market, and a Pioneer Water tanks exclusive.

The natural antimicrobial properties of silver and Sanitized ® technology are woven into the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner.

This industry leading water tank liner is made up of five layers that make up the strongest, cleanest and most scientifically advanced water tank liner on the market.

Pioneer V-Lock® tank wall profile

The Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile has been engineered for durability, and created with the sole purpose of water storage in mind.

This V-Lock panel profile is designed not only for toughness and durability of the tank wall itself by engineering the sheets to the ideal thickness for each panel, but also to protect the tank liner, preventing stretching and wear as the tank fills and empties.

It's a design so good, it won an Australian Design Award for the exceptional strength and internal support, along with its aesthetically pleasing appearance.
