Stock Tanks That Perform in The Outback

Australian Made Stock Water Tanks

Our cattle station water tanks are designed for the tough country and harsh climate of northern Australia.  If you are looking for a water tank that will last the test of time, you’ve come to the right place.  Pioneer Water Tanks have stood the test of time in tough country for over 30 years.

Stock Water Tank FAQ's

Are your tanks suitable for cattle stations?

Yes. our water tanks are manufactured and built for all sorts of applications and they can handle the tough conditions of a cattle station.

Can your liner handle artesian water?

Yes.  We have one of the most advanced tank liners on the market.  The AQUALINER FRESH® tank liner can handle water temperature of 70 degrees Celsius.  We fusion weld the liner seams twice (doubled welded seams) to provide you with the ultimate reliability in water storage.

Can you install your water tanks in the outback?

Yes. Pioneer Water Tanks is the only water tank company with a truly national dealer network covering our great country.  Utilising the resources of the Pioneer Dealer Direct® network, we can install water tanks anywhere. 

If the project is specific and involves a large quantity of water tanks, we can deploy our own staff who work on complex tank installation projects across the globe.  Pioneer installs many hundreds of tanks per year in northern Australia.

What after-service do I receive?

You are backed by our 20 year warranty and supported by the local expertise and service of the pioneer dealer direct® network. We’ve been in the business for over 30 years and our after-service is second to no one.

If I need one tank or multiple water tanks, how long does it take you to manufacture?

We have some of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the country and because we only use Australian made products our lead times are short. Contact us to see how long it will take to make your tank. We will meet your needs.

Do you offer tanks that can take water from bores, dams and rivers?

Yes. We can provide you with a water tank that has facilities ready to take on water from most water sources.

What set up do you recommend for a cattle tank?

If you are taking water from a bore, dam or river, we recommend (where possible) that you install your water inlet at the bottom wall of your water tank. It might seem unusual but the best water tank performance comes from bottom inlets. As a last resort you can use a top inlet. Call our consultants about your solution.

Why is a bottom inlet helpful?

Top inlets create tiny wave actions on the water service when water enters the tank and sometimes water can splash into the roof area. If you can, you should avoid this.

When you fill from a bottom inlet you should be pushing into a volume of water, water levels simply rise and fall, and there’s no splashing. You might be thinking there’s a lot of water inside pushing back into your inlet, that’s not the case.  

What other steps should I consider with a bottom inlet?

When you send water to the top of a two-metre water tank you have two metres of head pressure. With this in mind, if the water level inside your tank is sitting at one metre you have one metre of head pressure, two metres equals two metres of head pressure and so on.

What features come with my rain water tank?

We provide a full suite of features; aqualiner fresh® tank liner, double fusion-welded liner seams, adaptive swivel foot roof truss connector, roof access hatch, external hook on ladder, 80mm overflow, 80mm outlet and valve (multiple if required), and 50mm inlet.

3 Reasons to Join the Pioneer Family

How do you prepare for bushfires in Australia?

What is the best water tank for your home?

Do you want bacteria in your water? I don’t! It’s drinking water. Do you want your kids eating or drinking mould? I don’t. But that’s what I’ve got in those tanks, a bacteria fighting lining, it’s genius.
Shane Jacobson
We like to do things very naturally, which is why we appreciate the beauty of fresh rainwater. I don’t like plastic, and I only ever want to supply our customers with clean, quality water.
David Ritchie
That steel is a big part of the reason why we went with Pioneer Water Tanks. The Colorbond® colours also matched up perfectly with the house – which we had recently painted Woodland Grey. We chose this colour as we wanted the house to blend seamlessly into the beautiful natural rural environment.
Jamie Adamson
We knew we needed a huge tank to accommodate all our water usage due to no mains supply. This will initially be for the whole house, and for the garden if we have any left over. Dan had a good idea of how big this tank would be, but I couldn’t believe it when it was installed! It’s massive!
