Moe Water Tanks

Moe is a town in the Latrobe Valley, in the Gippsland region. It is approximately 30km from Warragul, and 45 kilometres due south of the peak of Mount Baw Baw in the Great Dividing Range and features views of the Baw Baw Ranges to the north and Strzelecki Ranges to the south.

For over thirty years, Pioneer Water Tanks have been a leading Moe water tank manufacturer and supplier.

The backing and history of Australia's number one big tank company, means that customers in Moe 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 Moe climate

Much like nearby Warragul, but with much less rainfall, Moe experiences a Marine West Coast Climate, with mild warm summers, and steady year round precipitation. 

The average annual rainfall in Moe is 726.3mm, with low but steady rainfall year round.

Moe and the surrounding region are renowned for its thriving dairy industry.

Rainwater run-off and flooding

In a nation as dry as Australia, rain of any kind is often a welcome sight, however modern facilities like roadways and sidewalks, 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 Moe 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 armed with rainwater tanks and suitable guttering.

Bushfire preparation

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

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 making sure that you have a bushfire action plan, as well as sufficient water storage for fire fighting purposes.

Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve in your tank, to ensure it can be used for both household water storage and fire protection.

Outperforming all comers in bushfire conditions

The CSIRO perfomed bushfire simulation tests on water tanks in partnership 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 important to fire fighting 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 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 toughness and for the sole purpose 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.

The design was deemed so good, in regards to structural integrity and visual appeal, it won an Australian Design Award.

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.

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 made up of five layers that form the strongest, cleanest and most technically advanced water tank liner on the market.
