Water Tanks Pakenham

Pakenham Water Tanks

Pakenham is a satellite suburb of Melbourne on the edge of the West Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia, 53 km south-east of Melbourne, and some 93km from the inland city of Traralgon.

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

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

Although much of the rest of the country hold the belief that Victoria is a lush land of plentiful rains, people in Victoria know better, and are mindful of their water storage needs.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Pakenham climate

Rainwater run-off and flooding

While many people across our dry country relish the sight of rain, changing weather conditions, and modern infrastructure have led to increasing cases of storm water run off and flash flooding.

If 100mm of rain fell on Pakenham 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's famed hot summer weather and year round sunshine comes at a cost, with the country holding the title of the driest (non-Antarctica) continent on the planet. This comes with the unwanted risk of widespread bushfires across the country.

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 adequate water storage to help you and emergency services protect against the threat of bushfire.

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

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

Importantly, unlike the other tanks - which either melted or split - the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water even after a fire front, which could prove critical to firefighting efforts.

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 suitable for purposes like watering gardens or lawns.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference

Pioneer V-Lock ® tank wall profile

Designed for toughness 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 aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Aqualiner Fresh ® antimicrobial water tank liner

Shown to prevent the growth of harmful 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 qualities 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.
