Tank factors to consider

Fire Reserve

This is a volume of water that is always readily available in the event of fighting fire. Commonly this can be up to 5,000 gallons.

Irrigation

When looking to irrigate, factors such as water source, harvesting capacity, and usage volume will all need to be considered.

Water Source

Harvesting water from a roof, filling up from a bore or dam will impact the size of water storage tank that will be most optimal for you.

Rainwater Harvesting

The size of your roof catchment area, in addition to your annual rainfall will determine how much water you can harvest.

Domestic Usage

Having an idea of what domestic functions you intend to connect to your tank and how often each will be used will be advantageous.

Total Volume

It’s better to have water and not need it, than to need water and not have it. It may pay to install a bigger tank to mitigate running out of water.

Dual Use Water Tanks

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, potable drinking water, and other applications.

Ensure an 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 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.

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 divert 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.

Tested and Proven

Pioneer Water Tanks are manufactured to NFPA 22 requirements and have been third-party tested and proven.
