Who is a 275 000L water tank suitable for
Water tanks in the 275 000L range are largest in the standard rural range of Pioneer Water Tanks before you need to add another ring of sheets on top, increasing the height and changing the dimensions of the tank. 275 000L water tanks are often used by large families, farmers and cattle stations.
While a significantly larger option than most opt for, rural Australian families all across the country still choose 275 000L water tanks their main water source for household supply, drinking water and to help the gardens stay green and vibrant during the drier months, as the larger storage capacity gives them peace of mind and more freedom with their water storage.
Those purchasing such a large tank are more often than not relying on their water storage for their entire household supply, and find themselves in a position with no access to mains water, meaning it is vital to ensure you have an adequately sized water tank to suit your needs as well as a large enough catchment area.
To help you to determine if a 275 000L steel water tank is suitable for you, you can consult our water storage calculator (below) to determine how much rainfall you can capture from your roof. It is also a good idea keep a track of how much water your household is using on average, to determine your total supply requirements.
The below table shows the dimensions and gross capacities of the GT280 - which comes in at 276,180, Pioneer's closest model to a 275 000L water tank - and GT250 water tanks, as well as the GTi291, a model with a significant height difference from the industrial range.
Tank Model | Gross Capacity (Litres) | Gross Capacity (Gallons) | Diameter | Height |
---|---|---|---|---|
GT250 | 247,874 | 54,525 | 12.03 m | 2.18m |
GT280 | 276,180 | 60,751 | 12.70 m | 2.18m |
GTi291 | 290,632 | 63,930 | 10.70 m | 3.24 m |
Gross Capacity is the total tank volume not including the water loss above the overflow or below the outlet.

The Pioneer Water Tanks Difference
Pioneer Water Tanks has been manufacturing water tanks that Australians can rely on for over 30 years, and continue to remain at the forefront of the market in terms of both innovation and quality.
Whether you need a 275,000L water tank or a 75,000L water tank, every water tank sold by Pioneer Water Tanks and our network of dealers across the country is manufactured in Australia from Australian Zincalume® or Colorbond® Steel. Pioneer Water Tanks remains an Australian owned and operated company to this day.
Pioneer Water Tanks tank wall profile - the Pioneer V-Lock® - was designed specifically for water storage, providing superior strength and durability, as well as protecting your liner from the stretching and stress that can come with the filling and emptying of a regular corrugated wall panel.
Every 275,000L water tank manufactured and sold by Pioneer Water Tanks comes with our 20/20 Warranty, which is a 20 year conditional structural warranty as well as a 20 year conditional warranty against water leakage. The GTi291 includes a 10 year conditional warranty.
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
