STANDARD INCLUSIONS
AQUALINER® FRESH
The first antimicrobial tank liner in the world, our exclusive five-layer AQUALINER® Fresh keeps your water fresher for longer with embedded Sanitized® Silver technology. With a life expectancy of 65 years, the AQUALINER® Fresh is designed to fit the Pioneer Water Tank to prevent contamination.
GEOTEXTILE UNDERLAY
Our geotextile underlay is the ideal way to protect your AQUALINER® Fresh from being compromised by sharp objects that may be caught inside your water tank.
SUPER SEAL
Reduce the number of contaminants to protect your precious water supply with Pioneer Water Tanks’ high-density foam sealer.
SACRIFICIAL ANODES
Our sacrificial magnesium anodes significantly extend the life of your water tank by protecting the tank from corrosion. Made from magnesium, the anodes erode in place of the water tank, thereby protecting the steel and allowing the tank to last longer than other systems. Pioneer Water Tanks recommend your anodes be replaced every 10 years so you can enjoy the benefits of your tank for life.
6-INCH DIAMETER OVERFLOW
Pioneer Water Tanks provides a 6” diameter overflow downpipe, the largest overflow system on the market. The overflow size moves excess water away from the tank quickly to effectively reduce pressure on your tank and avoid costly damage to your tank components.
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR PROPERTY FOR WATER TANK INSTALLATION
Before most water tanks can be installed, a cement ring beam or a stable sand pad foundation must be prepared.
There are some important things to consider when selecting your tank site and preparing the pad.
1. The sand pad must be level, stable and free of debris before construction.
2. The sand pad must be at least 6’ larger than the diameter of your tank.
3. For sloping tank sites, ensure adequate drainage to divert runoff away from the tank wall.
4. Aggregate must be placed around the circumference of your tank to stop erosion and comply with warranty conditions*.
5. A retaining wall may be required to maintain pad integrity*.
6. Your tank should not be left empty for an extended time. A minimum load of water (10% of tank capacity) should be placed in your tank after construction.
Before you start preparing your site for installation of your water tank, Pioneer Water Tanks also recommends you contact your local authority to see if there are any regulations or restrictions in place.
WORLD-FIRST ANTIMICROBIAL WATER TANK LINER
The multi-generational AQUALINER® Fresh fabric has been a mainstay of the Pioneer Water Tanks 30-year success story and legendary water-holding performance. The new fabric retains the Globally Patented Multi-layered PP/PE textile with a spun-woven multifilament polypropylene (PP) scrim construction (WO 2007/070917).
The use of antimicrobial protection in a tank liner is the world’s first use of this technology in this application, and our Australian manufacturer of the fabric has applied for an additional Patent to protect this innovation. The patent application has been accepted and its current status is “Patent Pending 2017902908”.
Pioneer Water Tanks, AQUALINER® Fresh antimicrobial tank liner is a world’s first to keep your water fresher, for longer.
The AQUALINER® Fresh is manufactured utilizing a patented three-layer process that adheres a PP Multifilament Base with a Polyethylene Film on the surface.
The PP base, PP/PE Coating, and PE Film are all bound together through a process called Extrusion Coating.
The PP Multifilament Base provides strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability.
The PE Film provides toughness, water-resistance, and heat seal characteristics.
“The AQUALINER® Fresh tank liner is the culmination of Pioneer’s 30 years’ local and international experience in water storage and a result of our continuous drive to improve the way we store water for the benefit of our customers. Water quality is an important global issue and we know it’s one of the most important factors people consider when buying a water tank” said Daniel Wyatt, General Manager, Pioneer Water Tanks.
ZINCALUME® STEEL IS TESTED AND PROVEN TO LAST LONGER
Next-generation ZINCALUME® steel AM125 introduces magnesium into the aluminum-zinc alloy coating, which improves galvanic protection by activating the aluminum. The result is more effective corrosion resistance. BlueScope Steel research and testing have found that the addition of 2% magnesium is the optimum level of corrosion performance and coating integrity. Along with a capital investment of over $100 million to facilitate the required manufacturing capability, BlueScope Steel can now produce next-generation ZINCALUME® steel AM125 with even greater durability and a more efficient protective coating mass.
Only the highest quality Zincalume® and Colorbond® steel are used in Pioneer Water Tanks, providing unmatched durability that no other tank manufacturer can offer- that’s why Pioneer Tanks last longer than any other brand. Pioneer Water Tanks come standard in Zincalume® Steel with your option of upgrading to a wide selection of Colorbond® steel color options.
