A Water Tank for every property

Why do I need a rainwater tank?
Australia is the driest inhabited continent in the world, therefore water conservation will always be a major priority in our country. Collecting and storing rain water is a very efficient and cost-effective way to re-use free water around your house, farm or commercial site.
If you are not connected to mains water, then rainwater is a great way to provide clean, untreated water. If you are connected to mains water, a tank gives you the freedom to use additional water when and how you choose and contribute to re-cycling this valuable and scarce resource.
Worried that a water tank will affect the look of your home, farm or site?
Well you need not be as Bushman tanks come in an extensive range of shapes and colours to blend into their surroundings. As well as merging into the background, they also add value to your property should you wish to sell.
For Residential properties
Even when connected to a mains water supply everyone wants to do their bit to save water – and nobody saves it like Bushmans.
Our domestic water tanks are available from 660 litres to 46,400 litres and are easily installed on residential properties. Not only will these tanks give you rainwater on tap, they will save you money on your water bills, and add value to your home.
For Rural properties
When you rely on water for your business, indeed for survival, you must have it when you need it. You can choose a Bushmans UV stabilised polyethylene tank up to 46,400 litres or an Aqualine galvanised steel liner tank up to a massive 363,000 litres to provide water storage solutions for all your needs. We can’t make it rain but we can store it when it does, and nothing saves water like a Bushmans or Aqualine tank.
Common Questions
(and things you need to consider before ordering your water tank)
What size tank do I need?
This will depend on a few different factors including:
What you intend to use the water for?
This will vary significantly from customer to customer. Residential customers may intend to use the rain water to fill their pools and water their gardens while rural customers may use the tanks to store large amounts of stock water for the farm – resulting in very different tank solutions.
How much rainwater can your roof/hard surface capture?
Once you know the square meter measurement of your roof/hard surface area and the approximate level of rainfall annually (http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data-services/station-data.shtml), you can use the Bushmans Calculator to determine the amount of rainwater your roof can collect and therefore what tank size would best suit your needs.
Does the tank come with accessories and fittings?
All tanks come with a brass outlet, a 25mm ball valve, overflow and leaf strainer as standard.
Your Bushmans Agent will be happy to discuss your specific requirements and advise on any additional accessories that you may need for your tanks and specific application.
What options do I have regarding tank colours?
Bushmans offer 13 colours plus a range of optional colours for the Poly Tanks which will suit the most common colours used on buildings and fences. Sunsmart® Technology is only available in Bushmans standard colours. Colours shown on this web site are a guide only, and the final colour of your individual tank may vary slightly from this representation.
What is BUSHMANS SUNSMART® TECHNOLOGY?
Bushman SunSmart Technology is an improved raw material which provides longer tank life in Australia’s conditions. The tanks are manufactured in one piece so there is no weakening due to cutting and screwing.
The SunSmart® advanced raw material combined with Bushmans proven one-piece tank design results in:
- better UV protection
- best chemical resistance
- best impact resistance
- longest tank life
What do I need to do before the tank arrives?
We have put together a step by step preparation guide to installing your tank.Â
There are two types of delivery; on-site delivery and a roll-off delivery.
On site delivery is where you have followed the guidelines and the site is prepared for a safe installation by our drivers.
If the site is not prepared or it is unsafe for our drivers to fit the tank, then a roll-off delivery will take place, so the tank can be installed at a later date.
To ensure your new tank delivery runs smoothly, you will need to provide people and/or lifting equipment to support the unloading and sitting of the tank. The number of people will depend on the tank size. See the Bushmans Tank Install guide.
Do I need a pump?
If you cannot benefit from a tank site that provides enough gravity fed water pressure it is recommended to use a pump, so your tank water has the same pressure as mains water.
Do I need to cover my pump and protect it from the weather?
Most quality pump manufacturers recommend that you protect your pump from the elements to extend the working
life of your equipment. At Bushmans, we also sell pump covers. A pump cover also reduces noise and can reduce problems with your water system through improved reliability.
Do I need to have my tank and systems maintained?
It is recommended you maintain your tank and system by regularly cleaning it of debris and pests. See our information page for steps on how to maintain your tank.
