Pioneer Water Tanks have been providing the best quality rainwater tanks to rural Australian families for over 30 years.
The beauty of a Pioneer water tank is that it can easily blend in with your house and your surroundings.
It should be able to be a feature of your home, not an eyesore!
At Pioneer Water Tanks, we’ve been providing world class steel rainwater tanks to Australian families and businesses for over thirty years, and we pride ourselves on providing the best quality water storage on offer to Australian families today.
Whether you need a water tank to support your whole home, if you’re looking to store a little extra for your toilet and washing machine, to tend to the garden without the interference of mains water and water restrictions, if you need a water tank for fire protection, or if you need water for your home as well as an orchard or farm – Pioneer Water Tanks has your rainwater harvesting needs covered.
Manufactured in Western Australia from Australian made BlueScope® steel, Pioneer provides long lasting and great looking water tanks to suit all Australian conditions.
Since 1988, Pioneer Water Tanks has supplied Australians with water tanks for domestic, farming, fire fighting and industrial applications.
One of the things that makes Pioneer the best rainwater tank suppliers for your home, is the Pioneer Dealer Direct™ network.
With more than 50 dealers all across Australia, encompassing all states and territories – not just on the mainland but also in Tasmania – Pioneer is able to provide true local service to every one of our customers.
The other benefit is that all of our dealers are exclusive Pioneer Water Tank installers, making them experts in the installation of Pioneer rainwater tanks. They are also all local businesses, typically family owned small businesses, meaning every tank purchased through Pioneer Water Tanks helps support the lifeblood of Australia – small business.
Pioneer Water Tanks are available in both the more traditional looking Zincalume® finish, and in a range of Colorbond® colours – with both standard and non-standard colours available.
The best part is, these are all genuine Colorbond® steel, and not powder coated, and the water tank wall and roof panels are made from 100% Australian BlueScope steel.
All Pioneer Water Tanks come with a 20 year structural warranty, and many of these steel water tanks survive well beyond 30 years – as most of the tanks built in our first year back in 1988 are still standing to this day.
The industry leading and ever impressive Aqualiner Fresh® water tank liner – with its antimicrobial properties, and meeting all Australian and International drinking water standards – is also manufactured in Australia, and can even be fitted to existing tanks in need of a reline.
The Aqualiner Fresh® is unparalleled when it comes to water quality, helping to actively fight against the growth of algae and bacteria from inside of your water tank.
A feat of engineering excellence, the Pioneer V-LOCK® wall profile is designed to stand the test of time and provides superior internal support for the tank liner.
The AQUALINER Fresh® antimicrobial tank liner is designed keep your water fresher, cleaner and healthier for longer.
There are not many markets where the breadth of building materials is quite as diverse as the water storage market, with a wide variety of options available when it comes to tank material – from poly water tanks, to concrete tanks, to fibreglass tanks – as well as a variety of styles, including the traditional large round water tank, underground tanks, tank stands for above ground tanks, slimline tanks and bladder tanks.
Pioneer Water Tanks uses steel for a combination of factors. The modular panels make it easy to install, transport and repair if needed and the strength of steel helps to contribute to the design life of well over thirty years.
Another crucial benefit provided by steel water tanks is how well they perform in bushfire conditions. When tested by the CSIRO in conjunction with the Bushfire CRC, Pioneer’s steel tank outperformed all others when subjected to a 30 minute fire front, maintaining structural integrity despite the heat of the flames.
The Pioneer V-Lock® profile is also designed specifically for water storage, unlike many other tank panels. Designed by Pioneer’s in house team of engineers to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, the V-Lock panel design is one of the strengths of a Pioneer rainwater tank.
Whether your water tank is for your home farm or holiday property, it needs to be in keeping with your personal aesthetic, Pioneer Water Tanks has a range of colours and additional features to choose from.
Another great benefit of steel water tanks is that they, as well as the steel they are made from, are infinitely recyclable, being able to be scrapped and melted down at the end of their service life.
Unlike poly tanks, which despite being recyclable originally, usually break down structurally to the point where they have to enter landfill and are not able to be recycled once they can no longer hold water.
Another benefit to the planet provided by water tanks and rain harvesting, is the way they aide in the prevention of storm water runoff and the damage it can cause. Rainwater storage, particularly if installed en-masse in a town or neighbourhood, can prevent a lot of this water from entering streets and waterways, providing much needed relief to storm water systems.
Pioneer Water Tanks have a wide range of water tanks available, meaning no matter what size tank you need, or what kind of aesthetic appearance you are after – there is more than likely a water tank ready to suit your needs.
These steel tanks also typically come installed with a sacrificial anode, which protects the steel in the tank walls from corrosion.
