Water Tanks For Fire Protection

Increasing Water Storage Capacity For Fire Protection

Simon is from Williams, Western Australia

THE PROBLEM

As a hay farmer, being able to access large amounts of quality water for his land is paramount for Simon – and it’s not just for the hay.

“We have numerous water tanks across our property, but we needed a few more for generous bush fire protection and general consumption,” says Simon.

“Our property is roughly 2000 hectares, so multiple ways to access water across the property is vital.”

“The tanks last. My first one would be at least 10 years old now. I’ve stuck with Pioneer since I bought my first tank.”

 Simon – Williams, WA

THE SOLUTION

Simon has always gone to Pioneer Water Tanks for his water storage needs. Price’s Fabrication & Steel is his local Pioneer dealer, and this time round he was after 3x GT250 (250,000L) to be installed near his hay-press shed.

All three tanks were filled up with ground water, and Simon hopes the clouds will open their gates soon to release the rain they need to keep them full.

There’s no secret that the need of fire protection is paramount in our country, which is at the forefront of Pioneer’s mind when suggesting and customising our products for customers.

Our tanks are designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate, and you can boost your fire-fighting capabilities to protect your family, property and livestock with an additional water reserve for fire-fighting purposes.

Simon says he didn’t consider many other options because he knew he could trust the Pioneer name.

“The tanks last. My first one would be at least 10 years old now. I’ve stuck with Pioneer since I bought my first tank and I love the local aspect – that’s the main reason I buy from them.

Simon says the team at Price’s, John, Barry and Rachel, were all very accommodating and were happy to chat pricing for where he wanted some extra fittings.

“It was all easy and no dramas.”

Simon increased fire-risk protection on his property, improved his hay farming operations, and took advantage of the water capacity for his own consumption – all with just three legendary Pioneer tanks.

Talking Water With Roxie

Brett’s Story – A Quality Water Tank Installation

Replacing Poly Water Tanks with More Reliable Pioneer Water Tanks

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!
