Steel Liner Water Tanks

The Aqualine water tank is Bushmans range of large steel liner tanks designed and made for Australian conditions.

A key feature of the Aqualine galvanised or Colorbond steel tank range is that it is constructed on-site with galvanised or Colorbond steel walls and galvanised roof trusses with a poly liner to retain your water. This solution of a poly liner inside a steel tank (guaranteeing that your water never comes in direct contact with the steel structure) offers the best of both worlds when it comes to strength, durability and uncompromised water quality.

Designed to handle Australia’s toughest conditions these durable steel tanks deliver clean reliable water storage for your property, farm, or business.

Rural Fire Tanks

In areas where there is any fire danger risk there are often local council regulations for the storage of adequate water for use by the fire brigade during building and bush fires.

Our Aqualine rural fire fighting tanks come with specific fittings enabling the local fire brigade to connect straight into the tank. These fittings are commonly called Stortz fittings or couplings. The benefit of this type of setup is that the local fire brigade will have local or on-site water available for firefighting, in the event of a fire. The brigade’s hoses and fittings connect straight into the fire fittings already installed on the tank.

The importance of adequate water on site cannot be understated. In a number of areas, local councils stipulate the amount of water that must be stored on site and immediately available for firefighting purposes if and when needed. The amount of water required on site will depend on the location, use, size and construction of buildings, land area and most importantly your local councils’ development control standards.

Water Tanks & Fire Storage Tanks

Fire water tanks can be dual purpose with a certain amount for water required to be quarantined for firefighting with the rest of the tank water available for domestic and livestock use. Bushmans has a fitting design that only allows a certain level of water to be drawn off for domestic use. For example, if the requirement is for 40,000 litres to be stored for firefighting and you have a 125,000 litre tank, then there is 85,000 litres available for other uses.

State Based Fittings & Regulations

In the different states there are different types of fittings that the fire brigades use so it is critically important that you select the right fitting for your state.
