Types of Rainwater Tanks We Install Across Brisbane

Plastic Water Tanks

Plastic water tanks or polyethylene tanks are the most common type of water tank you’ll see in Brisbane. They are lightweight, easy to transport and affordable for the everyday Aussie.

Steel Lined Tanks

Mainly used on rural properties, steel rainwater tanks last long and offer exceptional strength and durability. Many modern steel tanks feature an internal food-grade liner. This liner prevents your drinking water from coming into contact with the steel, eliminating the risk of rust and contamination. Steel lined tanks are a popular choice for homes and properties that have large capacity needs.

Fibreglass Water Tanks

Fibreglass water tanks are much less common than other types of water tanks. They are an affordable alternative to other water tanks and are known for their resistance to corrosion, UV radiation and lightweight. Fibreglass water tanks are durable, making them suitable for a variety of rain harvesting and water storage systems.

Concrete Water Tanks

Concrete water tanks are a heavy-duty water tank option, most commonly seen in very rural areas. Due to the popularity of plastic in the 21st century, concrete tanks aren’t as common now because they are difficult to transport and can crack in extreme heat. They also need to be flushed and sealed before being used for drinking water.

Our Rainwater Tank Installation Process

Finding the Right Spot

Choosing the right spot for your new water tank is an important step in the installation process. Our plumbers thoroughly inspect your garden and property to choose the best spot for your water tank. It’s important to install your water tank where downpipes are already positioned. Installing it near downpipes make sure that fresh rainwater foes into the tank without being contaminated.

We also make sure that your rainwater rank doesn’t block the neighbours, natural light and ventilation, ensuring it isn’t an eyesore from the street. If you live on a narrow block, our plumbers also make sure that your water tank complies to local height restrictions and requirements.

Ground Leveling and Site Clearance

Our highly trained and skilled plumbers are here to ensure your property is prepared for your new water tank. Water tanks work best when they are installed on flat stable ground. This prevents the soil from shifting, structural damage and potential leaks. Our plumbers will help remove any vegetation and make sure the ground is level before installing your new rainwater tank.

Water Tank Drainage Plumbing

Installing a new water tank obviously involves plumbing and that’s what our team does best. We take the time to fully understand your home’s plumbing systems and integrate it seamlessly with your new water tank, so you can enjoy fresh clean water for years to come.

Are There Any Compulsory Requirements I Need To Follow For My Rainwater Tank?

In Brisbane’s hot and humid climate, mosquitoes can quickly become a problem, 

 especially when a large stagnant body of water is involved. Water tanks make the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and other annoying insects.

Under Queensland’s Public Health Regulation 2018, all residential rainwater tanks must be mosquito-proof. Mosquito screens are made of brass, copper, aluminium or stainless steel gauze with mesh that’s not more than 1mm wide, stopping pesky mosquitoes in their tracks.

What If I Live In A Bushfire Prone Area?

Brisbane is surrounded by beautiful bushland. However, during the summer months if the conditions are right, it can become a dangerous problem. If you live in a bushfire prone area like North West or South Brisbane, it’s important to avoid using a plastic water tank. Plastic water tanks can melt when exposed to high temperatures, creating a potential hazard for you, your family and your home. If you are looking for a sustianable water harvesting option and live in a bushfire prone area, our experts recommend installing a steel water tank.
