Farm Water Tanks

Farms predominantly utilise stock water tanks or portable water tanks. However recently, farmers have found that rainwater is extremely beneficial when used with sprays for crops, fertilisers and weed control. As a result, farmers are beginning to request in increasing numbers, rain water tanks.

In many cases, dam water or bore water has impurities or PH levels that reduce the effectiveness of the sprays and rain water has been found to offer the best and most consistent results.

As a result of this, many farmers are putting in large rainwater tanks to collect and store large capacities of water for their spraying regimes.

Our tanks have also been utilised by farmers for special applications including bore water tanks for irrigation, and as hydroponic tanks for mixing and storage of chemicals. In addition we now carry aquaculture tanks that are utilized for fish farming.

Dams are also being re-considered in favour of large water tanks due to the loss of water through evaporation and also due to contamination from various sources that render the water un-usable. Steelfab specialise in the design of water tanks for every and any purpose.

Fire Water Tanks

Fire water tanks are a specialised industry.

The design of the tank and all associated fittings, accessories and pipework, must meet strict requirements and design specifications to ensure that the finished installation not only complies with all reasonable and industry standards and regulations, but also to make cetain that they provide the required longevity and flexibility for years of trouble free operation.

Fire water tanks currently are not covered by a specific Australian Standard. However there is a new proposed standard currently in draft form that if adopted, will help to regulate the industry and guarantee the customer a better product and ensure the quality and longevity of the fire water tank.

Fire water tanks are also designed to meet other specific standards including AWWA (American Water Works Association), and also FM (Factory Mutual) approval is required by some projects in order to comply with certain applicable insurance stipulations. Steelfab is currently the only bolted lined tanks provider that has received FM approval.

FM approval requires not only specific engineering design, accessories, and fittings to meet certain standards, but also that the installation itself meet or exceed FM's requirements.

Rain Harvesting Water Tanks

Steelfab Water Solutions strives to be an environmentally responsible company and actively promotes being “Always greener™” The old saying that the grass is “Always greener™” on the other side might have been true at some stage, but now Steelfab Water Solutions can help you to effectively harvest and manage your rain water, so its “Always greener™” for you too.

WHAT IS RAIN WATER HARVESTING?

It is the principle of collecting and using rain water from a catchments surface. In Australia, the most common method utilised is to use the roof surface of a house and or surrounding buildings as the catchment. It is a very old technology that is once again gaining popularity. Rainwater harvesting is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, although its history dates back to biblical times. Actually, extensive rainwater harvesting apparatus existed 4,000 years ago in Palestine, Greece, and in ancient Rome; residences were built with individual cisterns and paved courtyards to capture rain water to augment water from city's aqueducts.

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER RAIN WATER HARVESTING?

The rain water that you save can be used to supply toilets, irrigation, and for other household purposes. In most parts of rural Australia where there is no scheme water supply, communities and residents are solely reliant on rain water harvesting for all their purposes. We always recommend the use of filters which will reduce any possible contaminants that may have been collected from the collection surface. By regular cleaning of gutters and also flushing the first discharge of your rain water, you can help reduce any unwanted contaminants. Steelfab Water Solutions has a trim that raps around the roof sheets of the tank, this makes it virtually impossible for birds or other vermin to enter the water storage tanks. The Aquadome water tank, is fitted with a whirly bird vent, which helps reduce condensation under the roof sheets. This method of rain water harvesting will help prolong the life of the roof and allows the tank to maintain healthy ventilation. It’s important to keep your water completely free of sunlight. By doing this, your water will remain fresh and usable for an indefinite period of time. Essentially, by harvesting your rain water...you are harnessing life.

Rural Water Tanks

THE AQUADOME WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT TO WITH STAND AUSTRALIA’S HARSH CLIMATE CONDITIONS

We purposefully designed a water tank that would not only withstand the extreme weather temperatures, but was robust enough to take what ever the Wild West could throw at it. The stringently engineered Aquadome water tank gave Australian farmers and rural property owners a safe, reliable water storage facility that has greater strength and minimal liner movement. We are proud to have achieved two very important objectives, structural integrity and minimal movement of the liner. The Aquadome water storage tank is an Australian success story, that helps preserve life and is an icon on the Australian landscape.

FARMERS AND RURAL PROPERTY OWNERS WANTED LARGER CAPACITY WATER STORAGE

In the early 1990’s, we responded to the needs of Farmers who wanted large capacity water storage. ‘we met that need' The Aquadome which offers a total capacity of 10 million litres is more than double the capacity that most of our competitors are able to offer. With evaporation being a major problem for dams, many farmers have now safely secured their water with a Steelfab Water Solutions large capacity rural water tanks. Water storage must be safe and reliable, and we are proud to say that now, many thousands of people around Australia have entrusted the safe keeping of their water with our product. We pride ourselves on making sure our customers have peace of mind with their water storage.

HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR WATER?

We place a very high importance on saving rural water and only use a liner that is capable of being repaired while either wet or dry. It is of paramount importance to us that people in rural or remote areas know that in the possible event of leakage, that their liner can be repaired without having to lose too much water. We service remote areas across Australia and regularly travel to this area’s to build our rural water storage tanks, as well as repairing other manufacturer’s water tanks, liners and towers.

In rural area’s, Its now becoming more common to see multiple large capacity storage water tanks on properties especially where there is plenty of rain water catchment from multiple shed roof’s. The main reason for this is that it is far more cost effective and affordable to install four 250,000 Litre tanks compared with the cost of installing a single 1,000,000 Litre tank. The other advantage of doing this is that you can always start with one tank and add to it when you are ready. Often people think if there hasn't been much rain, why? Get a larger rural water tank? The truth is that eventually the rain will come and you will need to be prepared to store it when finally does arrive. It’s important to store as much as possible, when you get the chance.

Water Tanks for Schools

Steelfab Water Solutions has successfully helped many Australian schools to be “Always greener®” with the installation of large capacity rain water tanks. The project is called The National Solar Schools program, which is a Federal Commonwealth Government initiative. It replaces an earlier program called Green Vouchers, which also provided water storage tanks for all primary and secondary schools across Australia.

Steelfab Water Solutions with almost 50 years of combined experience, provides assessments of a school’s water storage requirements and makes sound recommendations as to the: collection, suitable placement of the storage tanks and the redistribution options to supply toilet systems, or for reticulation of gardens, or the School Oval. We strictly follow the requirements as set out in the National Solar Schools program, so that Schools comply with Federal and State Government Authorities and the Education Department responsible for school property.

It’s a program that benefits all concerned. Children are educated about the responsible use of water, and the environment is being responsibly cared for. Every effort to help the environment makes a big difference. Another big benefit to Schools who install Steelfab water solutions rain water tanks, is that the on-going water cost for that School is significantly reduced. So all in all, it’s a sensible program that ensure that the Children, the School, and the Environment all win, and ultimately, Australia becomes more self sustainable. It also has an educational effect for communities where these schools are located, because industry and community groups can also enjoy the benefits if they follow the example of local schools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a Pump?

You need a pump to get the water from your tank to your tap or reticulation. If you didn’t have a Pump You would need a tank stand 23 metres high to equal the pressure of just a small pressure pump.

Can you assess the size of pump and the pipingI require to suit my needs?

Absolutely. It all depends on your usage needs — reticulation, domestic and stock requirements differ widely. We can provide you with free advice on the best pumping solution to provide the most cost effective investment for you. We want to ensure you don’t make an expensive mistake by installing the wrong pump.

What pressure do I need?

Some Household hot water systems require a minimum of 210Kpa pressure to cut in. You need the correct pump providing the correct pressure to achieve this.

Can the pump handle household as well as reticulation demands?

Ideally the two need separate pumps. Household usage demands high pressure and low volume — 210 to 500kPa @ 50 litres per minute, whereas reticulation requires 100 litres per minute at lower pressure. This means that if you are under the shower and the retic comes on it will take 90% of the water… Pumps must also be specifically tuned by the highly trained Steelfab Water Solutions Pump Technician to suit the unique and individual household requirements.

What is the best brand?

The best brand is the pump that will do the job for you.

What sort of warranty will I get?

On Davey you get two years on pumps and five years on pressure vessels, on Ebara you will get one year on pumps.

Where are the pumps made?

Davey are made in Australia and Ebara in Italy.

Are parts and service readily available?

Steelfab Water Solutions carry the full range of spare parts for all pumps sold. Our technicians are fully trained. We are fully accredited Davey Master Dealers and Field Service Agents for their complete range of rural, pool and spa pumps.

How often does a pump need servicing?

Pressure systems every 6 months, retic systems every couple of years. Most pump problems can be fixed on site, in the event of something more involved then we can almost always loan you a pump in the interim.

Do I need a pressure tank?

No you don’t — but the extra cost associated with purchasing and installing one will be quickly gained back. A pressure tank, depending on the size, enables you to get a glass of water or flush the toilet without the pump starting. Also If you choose evaporative air conditioning they require small amounts of water up to 10 times per hour. Pump wear and energy consumption is greatest at the time a pump starts. Pressure tanks reduce the wear and tear on the pump by preventing it from cycling on and off continually. By reducing power consumption they reduce your running costs and increase the life span of your pump.

What happens if there is a power failure?

If you have a pressure tank you’ll still have water to draw-off, the larger the tank the greater the capacity. This means you can still flush the toilet. If you don’t have a pressure tank — you’ll have no water…

What is a firefighting pump?

An engine driven pump as opposed to an electric motor driven pump to deliver large volumes of water at high pressure. They can also be used for transferring water from dams to tanks.

How much do pumps cost to buy?

Again—this is totally dependent on your needs. Please make use of our free advisory service to help you choose the correct pump for your situation.

What sort of pressure switch is best for my application?

A careful assessment of your usage requirements by our experts will determine this for you.

What does ‘self-priming’ mean?

If the liquid end of the pump is full of water then, when the pump starts, it will draw up the water from the source and pump it.

Is the pump easy to install?

Yes—but it must be done correctly. You can do it yourself but you will not receive the free ‘Davey 1st Twelve Months Field Warranty’. If Steelfab Water Solutions perform the installation your pump will be installed professionally, tuned correctly to the site requirements and you will receive the ‘Davey 1st Twelve Months Field Warranty’ — so if any thing goes wrong we come and fix it free of charge.

How do I manage if my pump needs to be taken away for repairs and the tank is my only source of water?

Firstly — don’t worry! We can generally repair it the same day: if we need to take the pump away to fix then we can almost always loan you a pump in the interim.
