Maffra Water Tanks

Maffra is a town in Victoria, Australia, 220 kilometres east of Melbourne. Maffra is a detour off the Princes Highway and is near the City of Sale, Stratford, Newry, Tinamba, Heyfield and Rosedale.

Pioneer Water Tanks have been the best Maffra water tank supplier and manufacturer for more than thirty years.

People of Maffra know that they can rest assured, knowing they have the backing and support of Australia's number one big tank company.

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

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Maffra climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

In a country as dry as Australia, rain of any kind is often a refreshing sight, however modern infrastructure like roadways and footpaths, along with evolving weather conditions, can often lead to flash flooding thanks to storm water run off, which can cause extensive damage.

If 100mm of rain fell on Maffra in just twenty four hours, in order to prevent 2 million litres of rainfall from entering stormwater systems, it would call for just 100 homes fitted with rainwater tanks and suitable guttering.

Bushfire preparation

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

Along with having a bushfire action plan, an important way to prepare for the dry summer months is to ensure that you have sufficient water storage to help safeguard you from the threat of fire, and a Pioneer Water Tank helps provide that protection.

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 competition in bushfire simulation when testing was done by the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC in partnership with the CSIRO.

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.

While a water tank will still prove appropriate for watering gardens or lawns, if it has been exposed to fire, it is highly advised that you get the tank water tested as soon as possible to make sure that it is still safe for domestic use.

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 purpose of water storage.

This V-Lock panel profile is designed not only for strength and durability of the tank wall itself by engineering the sheets to the ideal thickness for each panel, but also to protect the tank liner, protecting against stretching and wear as the tank fills and empties.

It's a design so good, it won an Australian Design Award for the superior strength and internal support, along with its aesthetically 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 ® utilises Sanitized ® technology, with the antibacterial qualities of silver, interwoven into the water tank liner.
