Replacing Poly Water Tanks with More Reliable Pioneer Water Tanks

Replacing Poly Water Tanks with More Reliable Pioneer Water Tanks

Evan Box from Brookfield, QLD

Evan Box lives with his wife and two children on an 11-acre property in Brookfield, west of Brisbane.

The family does not have access to the town’s main water supply, and, up until a few months ago, relied on a network of smaller tanks to store water for their home and garden.

The Problem

The small poly tanks on Evan’s property didn’t have the capacity for him to feel confident in his family’s water supply.

They did have a creek pump in the past, but with the creek barely flowing the family’s water use was limited and Evan had to make some sacrifices when it came to maintaining the property.

“We didn’t water or irrigate the yard because we had to be extra mindful of the water we used,” Evan says

The Solution

Evan knew that another poly tank wasn’t going to cut it this time—he wanted more bang for his buck. After some research, he decided a larger steel tank from Pioneer was the most cost-effective solution.

“As far as water storage goes it’s probably the best ‘cents per litre’ piece of infrastructure you can throw in there, comparative to say poly tanks or concrete tanks,” Evan says.

Already familiar with the trustworthy Pioneer Water Tank brand, he contacted his local dealer for advice. He has since purchased and installed a whopping 130,000L tank.

This extra water storage means (in addition to his original goal of watering the yard) Evan’s family has access to fresh water to use as they see fit.

“The tank’s going good, we’re just waiting for rain now,” he says.

“If we get it to full, we’ll well and truly be able to have water fights in the backyard!”

While it can be daunting to invest in significant infrastructure, Evan says that dealing with Pioneer Water Tanks made increasing his water storage capacity a straightforward process.

“Pioneer were always on the case in terms of giving me all the information I needed, so when it came time to make it happen it was easy,” he says.

Evan made a smart decision in contacting an expert for advice on his unique situation. At Pioneer Water Tanks this is what we do. We listen to your needs and advise the most efficient method to achieve your goals and objective.

We are available for consultations, so give us a call to see how we can help you.

When Scheme Water Simply Doesn’t Cut It

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.

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!
