WATER TANKS FOR Phillip Island

Water Tanks Phillip Island

Phillip Island Water Tanks

Phillip Island is an island about 125 km south-southeast of Melbourne, named after Governor Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of New South Wales.

For over thirty years now, Pioneer Water Tanks have been building and designing water tanks Phillip Island can rely on.

People of Phillip Island 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 green state all over, however, locals know better, and have their water supply requirements in mind.

Water Tanks to Suit Every Need

Water Tank Colours

Water Tank Sizes

Pioneer's water tank sizes come in a wide range, with domestic and rural tanks available from 12kl to 500kl, and the commercial and industrial tanks available in up to a whopping 3 million litres.

No matter your water storage needs, Pioneer Water Tanks has the water tank that is right for you, in both size and durability.

An Ongoing Battle with the Elements

The Phillip Island 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 resulted in increasing cases of storm water run off and flash flooding.

If 100mm of rain fell on Phillip Island 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 nation holding the title of the driest (non-Antarctica) continent on earth. This comes with the undesirable risk of widespread bushfires across the country.

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 collaboration 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 crucial to fire fighting efforts.

After a fire front has passed, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive purposes, like irrigating your gardens, however, it is highly recommended to get your water tested as soon as possible to make sure your water is safe before using it for food preparation or drinking.

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.

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.

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.

The Aqualiner Fresh ® uses Sanitized ® technology, with the antibacterial qualities of silver, within the water tank liner.

Phillip Island Local Insight

Local knowledge

The earliest inhabitants of the area were the Yalloc Bulluk clan of the Bunurong people, indigenous Australians of the Kulin nation. In the Bunwurrung language the island is known as corriong or millowl. Their coastal territory with its sheltered bays meant that the Yalloc Bulluk, along with other Bunurong clans, were among the first Aboriginal people in Victoria to have contact with European mariners.

Phillip Island is steeped in the history of Australian motor racing. A temporary circuit utilizing the island's interior public roads was used for the inaugural Australian Grand Prix in 1928 and continued to be used for the race up until 1935. It continues to host the Australian motorcycle Grand Prix today and is also a venue for rounds of the Superbike World Championship, the Moto GP Championship, the V8 Supercars Championship and the Australian Drivers' Championship.
