Shane’s first ordered a 110,000L tank in 2017 to store water for fire fighting. Then in 2019, when he started building his new home, he added two 60,000L tanks to his property to take advantage of the rainwater.

Farm Water Tank FAQs
Are your tanks suitable for irrigation purposes?
Yes, Pioneer water tanks are expertly manufactured for a wide range of applications and are built to withstand the demands of irrigation. Designed for durability and reliability, they provide a dependable water storage solution for farms, agriculture, and commercial use.
Do you offer tanks for my home on a farm?
Yes, we can supply a water tank equipped with the necessary fittings to efficiently collect and store rainwater harvested from your roof. Our tanks are designed for seamless integration with your existing catchment system, ensuring optimal water collection and storage.
What setup do you recommend for an irrigation tank?
If you’re sourcing water from a dam or bore, we recommend installing your inlet at the bottom wall of your water tank whenever possible.
While it may seem unconventional, bottom inlets provide optimal tank performance by improving water circulation and reducing sediment buildup.
For roof-harvested water, we suggest using the standard roof lead filter basket to ensure effective filtration and clean water storage.
Why is a bottom inlet helpful?
Top inlets can create small wave actions on the water’s surface when filling the tank, occasionally causing splashing into the roof area.
To prevent this and ensure better water management, it’s best to avoid top inlets when possible and consider bottom inlets for improved tank performance.
What other steps should I consider with a bottom inlet?
Filling your tank through a bottom inlet allows water to flow smoothly into the existing volume, causing the water level to rise and fall without splashing—unlike top inlets that can create turbulence.
You might wonder whether the water inside pushes back into the inlet, but that’s not the case. The pressure at the inlet is determined by the head pressure inside the tank.
For example:
- If your water level is at one metre, you have one metre of head pressure.
- At two metres, you have two metres of head pressure, and so on.
This means the higher the water level, the greater the pressure, ensuring a consistent and efficient fill process.
Do you have a gutter system for your tank?
No, in over 30 years of experience, we’ve encountered only a small number of cases where roof area was insufficient for effective water collection.
If you’re unsure about your catchment capacity, contact our expert consultants for personalised advice and solutions tailored to your needs.
