In a previous article, we saw how the raw materials of a tank often differ in quality despite being named the same general material, for example, different grades of steel and poly mixes. This is one identifiable factor in higher and lesser quality tanks. What determines the value and strength of poly tanks though? This article aims […]

Rotathene® SUPA UV Rotathene® SUPA UV provides superior protection for rotomoulded products by incorporating advanced additive technology. Traditionally a UV8 level of stabilisation has been considered the minimum required for good long term protection in Australia. This is the level specified in the Australian Tanks Standard, AS/NZS4766:2006. As seen in our article, Testing Poly Tank UV […]

What is SUPA UV? Rotathene® provides a much higher level of protection against the Sun than the required industry standard for poly tanks. It is referred to as “SUPA UV” for this reason. Rotathene® SUPA UV provides superior protection for rotomoulded products by incorporating advanced additive technology to last 4.5 times more than the Australian […]

Burying a water tank is sometimes desirable to reduce their height, or placing them completely underground if you don’t have much surface space. Poly water tanks are the ideal solution, since steel tanks obviously can’t be buried since they will rust and corrode. This article will reveal what you need to know if you wish […]

Many are familiar with the use and installation of individual water storage tanks, but the setup of multiple storage tanks in a rainwater harvesting system often isn’t considered. The use of multiple water tanks in larger scale water storage endeavours is neither difficult nor uncommon. This article looks at some benefits of linking multiple poly […]

When choosing your rainwater tank, there are a number of things to consider. The more obvious things are what water tank material you should go for, and what size water tank do you need. Most choose food-grade poly rainwater tanks due to their strength, light weight and reasonable price. An advantage to poly tanks is […]

Before you invest in a new water tank to store rainwater, perform some careful planning and consider a system setup of linking two or more water tanks together. A multiple water tank setup for rainwater harvesting provides many benefits including: Multiple tanks can be more cost-effective Reduction of lost water in tank failure or water contamination Expandable […]

Polyethylene is one of the most popular water tank materials today for many good reasons. Some main benefits include: poly tanks are strong, light-weight and more cost effective than alternative materials the flexibility of plastic allows for variety of styles and shapes poly tanks are easier to install due to their strength and lightness a […]
