What rainwater tanks does Polymaster have for sale?

What do your round water tanks weigh?
The weight of our tanks alters depending on the size, number of welded fittings, and the SG of the liquid they are designed to store, as heavier liquids will require a heavier-walled tank. However, our round water tanks are comparable in weight to fibreglass or galvanised tanks.
What is the lead times for custom built chemical tanks?
The initial step is to have completed and approved drawings before products and equipment can be ordered and manufactured. This typically take around 3-4 weeks, therefore it is critical to approve drawings quickly in view of decreasing the lead time. The next step is to place your order and you will be looked after by a project manager who will deliver all aspects of the project in around 4 weeks. When projects have set delivery dates we work with the client to achieve this from the beginning of the project.
How often should I replace my chemical tank?
Many different circumstances will determine when a tank needs replacing. These are;
- Number of welded fittings
- Type of chemical being stored
- Whether a tank is bunded or otherwise
- Exposure to other elements
Polymaster offer a 5-year warranty on all chemical tanks. In most cases these tanks will outlast this by many years however, replacement of chemical tanks needs to be addressed on a case by case basis and we recommend you speak to one of our technical team.
Are round rainwater tanks and components weatherproof?
Yes – Polymaster rainwater tanks are fully UV resistant and are built for Australian weather conditions. Components are carefully selected to ensure that they are protected and resistant to the elements.
Is the smooth wall poly tank weaker than corrugated poly tanks?
This is a common myth; the strength of the wall is based on the material (polyethylene) thickness and type of material selected. Both wall designs have similar strength, it’s only a case of aesthetics or preferred finish.
Can I drink the water from my round water tank?
Our tanks are made from BPA free, food-grade polyethylene and certified to AS/NZS4020, the Australian Standard for drinking water, however Polymaster cannot guarantee the quality of the water in your tank due to the way it is harvested from your property.
