Concrete rainwater tanks are a popular choice in urban, semi-urban and rural areas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suitable for both aboveground and underground installation, they can be delivered complete, or poured on\u00a0site at your property.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Concrete water tanks are\u00a0often made to hold immense quantities of water, although smaller options are also available.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-made concrete tanks\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Concrete rainwater tanks that are delivered in a complete form are craned off a truck and onto a prepared base of compacted crusher dust or compacted sand, stabilised around the edges.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-made concrete water tanks come in one to three pieces. A\u00a0two piece\u00a0tank is made up of two \u201ccups\u201d, one\u00a0inverted on top of the other.\u00a0Three piece\u00a0tanks are much the same, but with a ring section in the middle. Depending on the manufacture, the sections of your pre-made tank may be sealed together in a variety of ways. Some use a sealing ring made from a\u00a0rubber or synthetic substance which is placed in a groove of the lower \u201ccup\u201d with sealant before the top half is placed on. Sealant is then applied to the inside of the tank at the joint to stop the water leaking out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Poured onsite concrete tanks” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Poured\u00a0onsite concrete tanks\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Often, concrete rainwater tanks are poured on site at your property. They use a steel mould into which reinforcing steel is placed before concrete is poured in. The steel formwork is then removed and the completed tank is revealed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Underground options” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Underground options\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Concrete rainwater tanks are usually the most affordable underground tank option available. When covered with load-bearing lids, they can be fitted under driveways or other structures. This makes them a particularly popular choice in urban areas and developments with limited space.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”The right tank for you” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The\u00a0right tank for you\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If space is a concern or you want a single tank that can hold vast quantities of water, a underground or aboveground concrete rainwater tank may be the ideal choice for you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cracking is the most common complaint among concrete water tank owners, but most concrete tank makers have techniques to minimise this.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever you choose,\u00a0it\u2019s important to\u00a0complement your tank with\u00a0filters, screens and other equipment\u00a0<\/b>to ensure you get the best possibly quality water in your tank.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
