What Is the Life Expectancy of a Poly Tank?

The life expectancy of a poly tank varies by model and use, typically ranging from 7 to 20 years depending on the tank type, installation, and maintenance. Each tank’s lifespan is influenced by UV exposure, foundation quality, and ongoing care. Polymaster poly tanks are UV-stabilised, food-grade, and built for Australia’s harsh conditions, ensuring long-term, safe water storage for homes, farms, and businesses.

Why Choose a Polymaster Poly Tank?

Choosing Polymaster means choosing strength, safety, and proven longevity. Our UV-stabilised polyethylene resists cracking, fading, and algae growth, even in hot, dry climates, and all tanks are designed to meet Australian Standards (AS/NZS 4020) for materials used in contact with drinking water. While this ensures the tank itself is suitable for potable use, the safety of stored water also depends on proper installation, regular maintenance, and the use of suitable water filters or first-flush systems.
