WATER TANKS FOR Lakes Entrance

Water Tanks Lakes Entrance

Lakes Entrance Water Tanks

Lakes Entrance is a seaside resort and fishing port in eastern Victoria. It is situated approximately 320 kilometres east of Melbourne, and just 40km from Bairnsdale, near a managed, artificial channel connecting the Gippsland Lakes to Bass Strait.

For over thirty years, Pioneer Water Tanks have been a premier Lakes Entrance water tank manufacturer and supplier.

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

Although much of the rest of the country hold the belief that Victoria is a verdant land of ample rains, people in Victoria know better, and understand their water storage needs.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Lakes Entrance 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 concrete, often leads to the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.

If a 24 hour period saw a 100mm deposit of rainfall on Lakes Entrance, it would only require one hundred homes with fitted water tanks and sufficient guttering to prevent two million litres of water from entering the ecosystem.

Bushfire preparation

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

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

So as 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.

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

If your water tank has been exposed to fire, it is important 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 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 durability and appearance.

Aqualiner Fresh ® antimicrobial water tank liner

Proven to prevent the growth of undesirable bacteria in your water tank, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner is the only antimicrobial water tank liner available on the market, and a Pioneer Water tanks exclusive.

Utilising Sanitized ® technology, the Aqualiner Fresh ® water tank liner has the antibacterial properties of silver woven into the tank liner.

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