An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Garfield 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 infrastructure such as bitumen and cement, often leads to the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.

If Garfield received 100mm of rain in a twenty four hour downpour, it would require just 100 houses to have water tanks to prevent 2 million litres of water from entering stormwater systems and contributing to stormwater runoff and flooding damages.

Bushfire preparation

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

A steel water tank can be used as both fire protection and water storage for the home, and Pioneer also offers a fire reserve option for your water tank if needed.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

When the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC together with the CSIRO performed bushfire simulations on a range of water tanks, a steel Pioneer Water Tank performed best.

After 30 minutes of submersion in flame, the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water, an important feature for firefighting efforts, while the other tanks tested either melted or split, causing their water to be partially or fully lost.

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

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

The Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile, exclusive to Pioneer Water Tanks, has been developed with the sole function of water storage.

The V-Lock profile is designed both for strength and to safeguard the tank liner, by preventing stretching and wear, and the sheets are engineered to the ideal thickness for each panel, meaning we put the steel where it's required most.

Don't just take our word for it, the design is so sound, it won an Australian Design Award for its durability and 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 shown to prevent the growth of algae and bacteria in your water tank.

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

The most technologically advanced, cleanest and strongest liner available on the market, this is an industry leading product, comprised of five distinct layers to protect and store your water.
