The Use of Water Tanks for Fire Fighting in Australia

Introduction to Rainwater Tank Warranties

So you have decided to purchase a rainwater tank. One thing consumers often do not investigate thoroughly is the warranty that is supplied with the tank. You might look at different tanks and see that some have a 10 year warranty, some say 20 years and some 30 years. Does this mean that the tank with a 30 year warranty is better than one with a 10 year warranty? Not necessarily. There are many tan ...

Rotational Moulding of Polyethylene Water Tanks in Australia

Comparison of the Cost per litre of Water Storage in Poly Tanks

However, if we analyse the prices of all of the round tanks within a particular polyethylene manufacturer’s range, and convert these prices to a price per litre we discover significant variations across the range ...
