An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Emerald climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

Whilst rainfall is a welcome sight across this dry nation of ours, changing weather conditions causing heavy storms, and modern facilities such as asphalt and cement, often leads to the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.

If a twenty four hour period saw a 100mm deposit of rainfall on Emerald, it would only require 100 homes with fitted water tanks and adequate guttering to prevent two million litres of water from entering the ecosystem.

Bushfire preparation

Australia is world renowned for having long scorching summers, and if you discount the obvious outlier in Antarctica, is the driest continent on the planet. This, along with the life cycle of many native plants, leaves much of Victoria susceptible to widespread bushfires.

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

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

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

The CSIRO performed bushfire simulation tests on water tanks in collaboration with the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC, and the results showed that a steel Pioneer Water Tank held up better than the competition.

All other tanks tested either melted or split, causing them to lose precious water, however the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water after being exposed to the full 30 minute fire front, which could prove vital to fire fighting efforts.

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

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

Designed for durability and for the sole function of water storage, the Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile is also a Pioneer Water Tanks exclusive.

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.

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

Aqualiner Fresh ® antimicrobial water tank liner

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

The Aqualiner Fresh ® uses Sanitized ® technology, with the antibacterial properties of silver, interwoven into the water tank liner.

The industry leading water tank liner is comprised of five layers that make up the strongest, cleanest and most technically advanced water tank liner on the market.
