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.
PIONEER WATER TANK UPGRADED ACCESSORIES
FASCIA STRIP
Clients that are concerned about the potential for sharp roof edges or want to achieve a sleeker, more modern look to their tank can purchase a custom-designed fascia strip. Our fascia strip covers come in a range of sizes, colors, and designs.
BRASS OUTLET AND VALVE OPTIONS
Our commercial brass outlet and valve options are configured for the project requirements. We recommend switching to a brass outlet and valve if using the Pioneer Water Tank for fire protection. This eliminates any plastic fittings from the exterior walls of the tank.
WATER LEVEL INDICATORS
See the amount of water that you have in store at a glance with a water level indicator attached to the exterior of your tank. Choose between the traditional float and pulley system or a wireless system in a range of colors.
VENTILATION AIR-FLOW
Airflow is important when personnel need to enter a tank as well as in colder weather to prevent freezing.
FIRE PROTECTION UPGRADED ACCESSORIES

BUTTERFLY VALVE KITS
Butterfly valve kits are sized to the outlet. Scour outlets on commercial tanks are usually 3″ or larger and can have either a butterfly, ball or gate valve fitted, these are usually installed in a valve box to regulates the flow of fluid through the piping systems.
STORZ COMBINATION KITS
Pioneer Water Tanks provides Storz and Lug Plug combination kits. Storz couplings increase the speed of a hose connection because a hose can be locked with a quarter-turn. There are numerous sizes of Storz fittings available that are configured based on the local fire authority and project requirements.
VORTEX FLOAT VALVE
Fire tanks requiring a 2″ Fill Line may require a Vortex Float Valve. Vortex valves are float-operated valves for use in automatic filling of water tanks. The valve is configured for above-water mounting.
SEISMIC DESIGN AND PIONEER WATER TANKS XLE SERIES
DESIGN SEISMIC LOADS
This tank is designed to withstand an effective seismic acceleration coefficient of up to 0.7 (refer Tables 2 & 3) and the seismic loads developed as per AS2304 which has the same methodology as AWWA D 103-97 “Factory Coated Bolted Steel Tanks for Water Storage”. The attached calculation sheets are for a seismic acceleration coefficient of 0.7.
