Water security is a crucial factor in every field. Whether you are in a rural property, live in a small town or run an agricultural business, choosing the right tank for water storage and ensuring its proper installation can be a game changer for you. We at Premier Water Tanks understand that need and are here to serve your Galvanised Steel Water Tank needs.
With a complete guide, we will take you through our full process from planning and site preparation to installation and maintenance. With us, you will take an informed decision, measuring pros and cons and coming out assured about your water storage system.
Why should you choose Galvanised steel water tanks?
Galvanised Steel Water Tanks are made by coating steel with a layer of zinc. This ensures that the tank is protected from rust and corrosion. Galvanised Steel Water Tanks outrun their counterparts due to many factors -
Durability: Such tanks are resistant to fire, UV degradation as well as physical damage unlike Poly Water Tanks
Capacity: Large capacity ranging to tens of thousands of litres which makes them ideal for farm usage
Lifespan: If maintained properly, can last even more than 30 years
Eco-friendly: Materials used are recyclable and long lasting
Customisable: Can be customised according to various user needs and locations
How do we choose the right tank size for you?
Water Usage Needs
We estimate how much water you need through the nature of your need, whether you need it for household, farm-livestock, irrigation or industrial use. As a rural household might require around 80,000 litres of water, we work closely with you to understand your water needs while keeping that as a base.
Tank Size and Capacity
Considering factors like - rainfall in your region, roof catchment area and water usage needs, we decide the tank capacity for you. Premier Water Tanks as the best water tank company in Victoria offers sizes ranging from 20,000 to over 300,000 litres. We have all you might need.
Site Space
Estimating whether your site has enough space for crane delivery and tank assembly. If your site has narrow access paths or steep slopes, special planning is required to achieve the desired goal.
Preparing your site
Preparing the installation site is very necessary to ensure structural safety. We put special focus on preparing the right site for you.
Choosing the perfect location
Should be close to roof pipes for easier connection
Should be away from large trees to avoid root expansion
Should be accessible for future maintenance
Base Building
Choosing between placing a durable concrete slab at the base or filling it up with compact sand according to the site condition
Precisely estimating the base dimensions required to ensure they are larger than the tank base
The installation process
The process involves delivery of the tank and its assembly. The process is customised for different customers and conditions.
Tank Transportation
We at Premier Water Tanks deliver both fully panelled and kit-based tanks based on customer requirement and location. For larger tanks, parts are transported which are then assembled on the site.
On-Site Assembly
Assembling on-site typically takes 1-2 days depending on the size and complexity of the task. While assembling on-site, many things have to be kept in mind:
Strength of the foundation
Wall panels are bolted together
Tank liner is in place
Secure roof
Access fittings are attached - inlet, outlet, overflow etc.
Interior lining and corrosion protection
Though Galvanisation offers protection, we add additional protection to your tanks. By fitting your tanks with a flexible liner made of Zinc Phosphate or Aquaplate coatings, we ensure that
Direct contact between metal and water is prevented
Water quality is improved
Tank’s lifespan is extended
At Premier Water Tanks, our liners meet AS/NZS 4020 standards for drinking water safety so you don’t have to worry about harmful substances getting inside you. Our Aquaplate coatings are best suited to resist corrosion even in harsh Australian climatic conditions.
Connecting the Tank to Your System
Guttering and pipe connection
We ensure that your tank gets rainwater while keeping out the debris that comes with it. Using leaf diverters, flush devices and gutter guards, we ensure clean and efficient collection of rainwater in your tank.
Pump connection
Depending on whether you are using your water supply system for home or irrigation needs, you will need an efficient pressure pump. We choose the right size pump for your tank based on water flow and usage while adding filters, making it fit for drinking purposes.
Overflow and drainage
Overflow can damage your tank’s foundation. We ensure that the overflow is drained away to prevent corrosion, pooling and eventual damage.
Region Wise Regulatory Compliance
In regions like Victoria, sustainable building regulations require that your house must have installed a rainwater tank which complies with all necessary regulations.
Obtaining regulatory compliance can turn out to be tough as different regions have different regulations. If you hire us as your Water Tank Installation Company in Victoria, we will get you the correct Building Approvals for Tanks over a certain size, ensure that your tank has Stormwater Management, get you the right rebates and incentives if they are available in your region.
Maintenance tips
Occasional care is very necessary even for the best tanks to ensure that your tank keeps working for decades. Follow these steps to extend your tank’s lifespan and keep getting clean water.
Monthly Checks including gutter and screen cleaning, clearing out blockages in downpipes and overflow pipes
Annual maintenance including inspection of tank liners and fittings, checking bolts, flushing out sediments from the base and testing water quality
Repainting the tank’s exterior every 10-15 years to prevent rust
If you are working with us, we will take care of the ongoing maintenance of your tank, offering you maintenance advice and providing you with installation warranties.
Mistakes to avoid
Not preparing the site properly - An uneven base can lead to tank breakage and failure
Not selecting the right size - Constant shortage and overflow of water
Not guttering - Poor water collection efficiency, poor drainage, decreased water quality
Not selecting proper fittings - Risk of leakage, contamination, corrosion, leading to harmful water quality
