Dual Use Water Storage Tanks
Providing California with cost-efficient water storage.
Pioneer Water Tanks are cost-effective for dual purposes and are approved for use in California.
Dual service water storage tanks can be used for fire protection, irrigation, as a potable drinking water source and more applications.
Ensure adequate water supply is ready in case of an emergency with the appropriate fire connections for residential and commercial needs.
This is typically achieved with two separate plumbing systems being implemented with the water tank.
The plumbing pipe for the separate use does not extend below the water elevation that is reserved for fire protection.
We can deliver and install water storage tanks from 10,000 to 1,000,000-Gallons.
Pioneer Water Tanks are backed by our industry-leading 20-Year warranty so you can rest easy knowing you have a water storage solution that will last.
Tested and Proven
Pioneer Water Tanks in California are manufactured to NFPA 22 requirements and have been third-party tested and proven.
The following video is a Pioneer Water Tank that was tested with a 30-minute flame immersion test conducted by the Australian Government Bushfire Cooperative Research Center.
The Pioneer Water Tank maintained structural integrity and proved able to retain water during and after the fire front, essential elements for a fire protection water supply.
Water storage tanks that last
Pioneer Water Tanks are approved for use in California for fire protection and drinking water storage. Combining several uses into one dual-use water tank saves money as compared to buying two separate water storage systems.
Our standpipe or external fitting options diverts the additional water supply to ensure that it doesn’t affect the required mandated usable water capacity for fire protection. We offer commercial accessory options to comply with local requirements.
