Drouin Water Tanks

Drouin is a town in the West Gippsland region, 90 kilometres east of Melbourne, and less than ten minutes from Warragul. 

For over thirty years, Pioneer Water Tanks have been a highly regarded Drouin water tank manufacturer and supplier.

The backing and history of Australia's number one big tank company, means that locals in Drouin can be satisfied with their water storage solutions.

Victoria is often seen from the outside as a rainy green state all over, however, locals know better, and have their water supply requirements in mind.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Drouin climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

While many people across our dry nation relish the sight of rain, evolving weather conditions, and modern infrastructure have led to increasing cases of storm water run off and flash flooding.

If Drouin received 100mm of rain in a 24 hour downpour, it would require just 100 homes to have water tanks to prevent 2 million litres of water from entering stormwater systems and resulting in stormwater runoff and flooding damages.

Bushfire preparation

Australia is famous across the globe for its long hot summers, and outside of the uninhabitable Antarctica, is the driest continent on the planet. Pairing this with the way many Australian plants behave, much of Victoria is prone to large scale wildfires.

It is important in any non-urban setting to ensure that you are doing the most you can to protect yourself from bushfire. You can do this by making sure that you have a bushfire action plan, along with adequate water storage for fire fighting purposes.

In order to ensure your water tank can be used for the purposes of both household or property water storage, and fire protection, Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

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

Importantly, unlike the other tanks - which either melted or split - the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water even after a fire front, which could prove essential to firefighting efforts.

After a fire front has gone by, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive purposes, like watering your gardens, however, it is highly recommended to get your water tested as soon as possible to make sure your water is safe before using it for food preparation or drinking.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

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

The V-Lock wall profile is designed to put the steel where it is needed most, for the optimal strength and support, as well as protecting the tank liner, not just from external debris, but also against stretching or warping from the tank filling and emptying.

Don't just take our word for it, the design is so sound, it won an Australian Design Award for its strength and appearance.

Aqualiner Fresh ® antimicrobial water tank liner

A Pioneer Water Tanks exclusive, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner is the only antimicrobial water tank liner on the market, proven to prevent the growth of algae and bacteria in your water tank.

The Aqualiner Fresh ® uses Sanitized ® technology, with the antibacterial qualities of silver, within the water tank liner.

This is an industry leading product, comprised of five engineered layers, coming together to produce the most technologically advanced, cleanest and strongest water tank liner available today.

Drouin Local Insight

The town is supposedly named after a Frenchman who invented a chlorination process for the extraction of ore, or an Aboriginal word meaning "north wind".

Things to do in Drouin

Drouin holds an annual Ficofolia Festival. Ficifolia are the flowering gum trees which occur throughout the town. This celebration includes the town gathering in the main street of Drouin and watching the local schools and participating businesses showcase who they are and what they do. Every year there is a theme which participants in the festival are encouraged to incorporate into their float or costumes.

The participants of the parade begin from the Drouin Football Oval, through the main street, and finish at Drouin Civic Park. Here, the town continues its celebration with bands playing in the park, food trucks, rides, market stalls, and finishes with a movie in the park and fireworks.
