Who is a 130 000L water tank suitable for
Pioneer's recommended tank size for a family of three who want security in their water storage is the GT130 - or 130 000L water tanks. Water tanks around the 130 000L mark are also very popular amongst people looking for water storage for a cattle station or farm.
Many rural families all across Australia who rely on rainwater tanks as their main source of water for their household and drinking water choose 130 000L water tanks, particularly if they want that little bit of extra water to tend to the garden in the drier months.
Most people looking for a large steel water tank with a tank size upward of 100 000L are likely relying on their water storage to cover their entire household water supply. This makes it all the more important that you not only have a large enough water tank, but also enough rainwater harvesting ability to fill that tank.
If you're trying to calculate if a 130 000L water tank is best for you, you can consult our water storage calculator (below) in order to calculate your rainwater harvesting ability. From there you can keep a track of how much water your household is using, to calculate what size tank you need. For advice on what size tank is best for you, give us a phone call on 1800 999 599.
The below table shows the dimensions and gross capacities of the GT130 - Pioneer's 130,000L water tank - as well as the GT110 and GT150; the two other main tanks around this size.
Tank Model | Gross Capacity (Litres) | Gross Capacity (Gallons) | Diameter | Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
GT110 | 110,166 | 24,233 | 8.02 m | 2.18m |
GT130 | 129,292 | 28,440 | 8.69 m | 2.18m |

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference
Pioneer has been responsible for the sale and manufacture of thousands of water tanks across the country for more than 30 years, and its the reliability and strength of these tanks that keep Pioneer Water tanks at the forefront of the industry.
Regardless of if you're in need of a 130,000L water tank or a 300,000L water tank, every Pioneer Water Tank is manufactured in Australia from Australian Zincalume® or Colorbond® Steel. Pioneer Water Tanks is, to this day, an Australian owned and operated company, owned by an Australian family business.
The Pioneer V-Lock® tank wall profile is specially designed with water storage in mind, not only providing superior strength and longevity, but also protecting your liner from the stretching and stress that can come with the filling and emptying of a regular corrugated wall panel. The only part of the tank made from a regular corrugated panel is the roof sheets, which are fixed to the roof trusses and don't come into contact with the liner.
The delivery of every 130,000L water tank Pioneer manufactures features our 20/20 Warranty, which includes a 20 year conditional structural warranty as well as a 20 year conditional warranty against water leakage.
You Can Never Have Too Much Water
Water Catching and Usage Factors To Consider
Fire Reserve
This is a volume of water that is always readily available in the event of fighting fire. Commonly this can be up to 20,000 litres.
Irrigation
When looking to irrigate, factors such as water source, harvesting capacity, and usage volume will all need to be considered.
Water Source
Harvesting water from a roof, filling up from a bore or dam will impact the size of tank that will be most optimal for you.
Harvesting Factors
The size of your roof catchment area, in addition to your annual rainfall will determine how much water you can harvest.
Domestic Usage Volume
Having an idea of what domestic functions you intend to connect to your tank and how often each will be used will be advantageous.
Total Volume
It's better to have water and not need it, than to need water and not have it. It may pay to install a bigger tank to mitigate running out of water.

Water Tank Colours
Most people having a 130 000 litre water tank installed have the tank site next to or near their home, in order to capture any rainfall off of the roof of the house or any nearby sheds or garages.
Because of this proximity to the home itself, many people consider the colour of their rainwater tank to be an important factor when it comes to the installation, which is why Pioneer Water Tanks offers a range of both standard and non-standard Colorbond® colours in as well as the more traditional Zincalume® finish.
The range of colours you can have your 130 000L water tank manufactured in can be seen below. Prices vary between standard and non-standard colours.
