About Slimline Steel Tanks

Why compromise on storage capacity when choosing a steel rainwater tank. Tankworks has developed a very unique “made to measure” solution when designing the tank for your property. This option is most effective when the popular sizes do not fit the space you have available.

Key Benefits

Very slim, narrow design that can fit in a space with limited space.

Incorporates a very rigid cross bracing system which will not bulge or bow.

Steel tanks have a very modern look and are very aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Tankworks slimline tanks have a storage capacity up to 7000 litres.

Available in thousands of custom sizes.

Using the Size-A-Lator you have the freedom to select the width/depth, length and height of your tank. This allows you to obtain a rainwater tank that fits perfectly between windows, and also can allow you to have a tank width/depth narrow enought to allow you to walk past. The freedom is yours when designing a Tankworks custom made steel slimline tank.

The slimline steel range of rainwater tanks is available in a wide selection of popular colours and sizes up to a capacity of 7000 litres. The can be built for very narrow spaces, usually to fit along side your house. The quality internal cross bracing has been engineered into the tank delivering maximum durability and strength.

All Tankworks Slimline Rainwater Tanks are manufactured with Bluescope Aquaplate steel, which comes with a 20 year corrosion warranty. Add to that an Industry leading 10 year construction warranty on all water tanks, and you have a long lastiing rainharvesting solution that you can rely on.

Be aware that rainwater tank installations are eligable for rebates across Australia.

Selecting The Right Steel Rainwater Tank

Why Choose A Steel Rainwater Tank

Selecting The Right Steel Rainwater Tank

2011-01-27T21:04:17Z

Here are five steps you need to consider when choosing your steel rainwater tanks.

1. Design the largest tank possible that will fit into your available space.

Your aim should be to choose the largest tank possible to fit the area you have available for a rainwater tank. The more water you store, the longer your rainwater will last.

You need to harvest as much rainwater from your roof as possible, directing the water into your tank. This will ensure you are maximising the storage capacity of your steel rainwater tank.

2. Be aware that normal garden hosing can use up to 1000 litre per hour of rainwater.

Using rainwater in the garden can empty a steel storage tank very quickly. Be aware that a 5000 litre water tank will provide approximately 5 hours of watering time in the garden. With this in mind, ensure that the capacity of your tank is going to match your water use requirements.

3. One square metre of roof are will provide one litre of water for every millimetre of rain.

This is why you need to maximise the roof area feeding your rainwater tank. The more roof are you harvest rain water from, the quicker your Tankworks Steel Water Tank will fill.

4. Be aware that 1000 litres of water stored in your water tank is equal to one tonne of mass.

When considering the location of the tank be sure not to place the tank in an area with unstable ground or locate it to close to existing house footings. The tank base is one of the most important components of a good installation. A base may be made from either re-inforced concrete (preferable) or from a treated timber frame filled with either crusher dust or very fine blue meta. Be sure to view our self installation section to obtain further information or send through a question in the comment section.

5. Remember that the leaf strainer on the inlet of the tank will need to be accessed on a regular basis.

Your Tankworks Steel Rainwater Tank has been fitted with a quality leaf strainer which will collect any debri prior to the water entering the tank. This ensures only clean water is stored in your water tank. With this in mind, you need to consider the location of the water tank and the location and height of the inlet to the tank when designing your steel storage tank, and also when deciding its location.

Why Choose A Steel Rainwater Tank

2011-01-27T01:57:58Z

Once a decision has been made to purchase a rainwater tank, many options then become available to you. The most commonly used materials for water tanks in the Australian market are Steel and Polyethylene. Other less popular options include the use of materials such as fibreglass, PVC bladder tanks and concrete.

When comparing, each type of material has its strengths and weaknesses, although the modern steel water tank has some outstanding features:

Strength Of Steel Rainwater Tanks

The strength of steel itself, gives a steel rainwater tank some major benefits over rain water tanks built with alternative materials. Steel slimline tanks do not stretch or bulge when full. The strength of steel ensures that the custom made steel slimline rainwater tanks can easily hold the large forces generated by tonnes of water. All of the Tankworks range of water tanks have engineer certification.

The strength of the rainwater tanks ensure that they will not deteriorate over time under the harsh Australian sun, as it may with other materials.

The difference between Steel and Poly / Plastic rainwater tanks.

There are quite a number of very important differences between steel and poly/plastic rainwater tanks:

One of the most major differences is that the steel rainwater tank option is 100% UV-proof. This basically ensures that the steel water tank will not degrade in sunlight. Plastic or polyethylene rainwater tanks are affected by Ultra Violet light and can break down over time, losing both strength and their colour.

Steel tanks are custom made to almost any dimensions, which means you can have a steel rain water tank built specifically for the space you have available in your home, maximising the amount of rainwater you can harvest. Due to the fact that plastic or poly rainwater tanks are made from a mold, generally they are available in a very limited range of sizes.

The strength of a custom made steel water tank ensures that they are not subject to bulging or stretching when full of water, and as a result, the steel slimline range of water tanks take up considerably less space than the plastic tank option.

Steel Rainwater Tanks Have Long Life

In the early days of rainwater tank production, the tanks were generally made from plain galvanised steel, which had no additional corrosion protection. This is now a part of history, as with the modern steel rainwater tanks, as they are now made from Bluescope Steel Aquaplate and have a long life polymer coating. This new technology of polymer coating can be found on the inside of the tank walls and on both sides of the base (inside & out).

By using this process it ensures that the water never actually touches the steel directly which greatly reduces corrosion. This allows Tankworks to comfortably give a 20 year warranty against corrosion. So the strength of steel as a material, combined with the longevity of the modern polymer coating technology gives you the best of both worlds.

Steel Rainwater Tanks Are Stylish and Elegant

The steel tank not only has that iconic appearance, but due to the fact that it is custom made for the space available, it is generally less bulky, and gives a greater water capacity for the space you have available. Many customers agree that a steel tank option is much more aesthetically pleasing than the polyethylene tank options, and this is why it is the choice of tank for many architects when designing a water harvesting system.

The same applies for the steel round tanks, where the much flatter roof structure of the round steel tank, means more water is stored right to the top of the tank, compared to the unused air gap which is found on the domed roofed tanks in the plastic range of water tanks.

Sustainability Of A Steel Rainwater Tank

All the steel that is used in the production of a Tankworks steel rainwater tank is made here in Australia. Steel can be a very long lasting material, especially when it is coated with a zinc glavanising or Bluescope steel Colorbond finish. It is also important to remember that if your tank is no longer needed at any time, that the steel is completely recyclable, and may be very easily reclaimed and reused again, making a steel rainwater tank one of the best environmental alternative.

Why You Need A First Flush Water Diverter

2010-12-20T03:29:48Z

Fitting an appropriately sized First Flush Water Diverter is critical to achieve good quality water.

Water diverters improve water quality, reduce tank maintenance and protect pumps by preventing the first flush of water, which may contain contaminants from the roof, from entering the tank.

When it rains, water slowly builds up in the roof guttering system before it exits through the downpipe. The first flush of water from the roof can contain amounts of bacteria from decomposed insects, skinks, bird and animal droppings and concentrated tannic acid.

It may also contain sediments, water borne heavy metals and chemical residues, all of which are undesirable elements to have in a water storage system.

Instead of flowing to the water tank, these pollutants are diverted with the initial flow of water into the chamber of the water diverter. The water diverters from Rain Harvesting utilise a dependable ball and seat system – a simple automatic system that does not rely on mechanical parts or manual intervention.

As the water level rises in the flush diverter chamber the ball floats, and once the chamber if full, the ball rests on a seat inside the diverter chamber preventing any further water entering the flush diverter. The subsequent flow of water is then automatically directed along the pipe system to the tank.

For a water diverter to work effectively, the contaminated water in the chamber must be sealed off. This prevents the water passing to the storage tank and ensure the water does not “syphon” off the contaminated water in the chamber. The simplest and surest way to do this is with a floating ball and seat.

A slow release valve ensures the chamber empties itself after rain and resets automatically. The diverted water need not be wasted water because the drain pipe from the flush diverter chamber can be fitted to a standard drip irrigation system.

For more information on the first flush water diverter please contact us either by email or by phone – 1300 885 547
