Steel slimline tanks

Steel slimline tanks – Ecotanks®

Made in both Aquaplate® steel or Z600 Galvanised steel , Ecotank® is the new generation in rainwater storage tanks. Whether it is a feature in your landscape design or discreetly hidden away, its slim design gives the Ecotank® versatility and style. With its soft, modern curves, Ecotank® is aesthetically appealing. It comes in a choice of Colorbond® colours or galvanised steel. Ecotank® has a modern slim style, with a large capacity, from 450 litres – 5000 litres. The Ecotank® is custom built and not restricted to mould sizes. Please note that the top of an Ecotank® is made from galvanised steel and not coloured steel. Our steel tanks are manufactured using steel rivets, which is the strongest way to construct a tank and the inside of the tank is baffled for strength.

Galvanised tanks

Traditional galvanised tanks are manufactured using only top quality BlueScope Blue Orb Z600 Steel and are riveted and silicon sealed. A galvanised tank is only suitable for the storage of rainwater and requires malthoid matting, included in the price of the tank, to protect the base of the tank.

Aquaplate® Tanks

Aquaplate was developed by BlueScope Steel specifically for the water storage market. The steel has a food grade polymer skin bonded on its internal surface meaning the steel does not come in contact with the water. We use double sided Aquaplate for the base of our tanks, so there is no need to put down malthoid matting under an Aquaplate tank. Aquaplate Complies with Australian Standards on use of materials for food contact use and potable water, as per the Australian Standard (AS 4020). Aquaplate Steel Water Tanks come with the peace of mind of a full 20 Year Warranty through BlueScope Steel.

An Ecotank® should be located at ground level on a suitable base. Remember that 1 litre of water equals 1kg so even a small tank of around 500 litres will weigh 500kg! Therefore, your new tank will require a stable, flat surface. This can be a reinforced concrete pad or compacted dolomite/ crusher dust.

Available in a range of colorbond® colours or traditional zincalum , traditional Aquaplate® tanks are riveted and silicon sealed. Please note that the top of an Aquaplate® tank is made from galvanised steel and is not coloured steel.

Ecotanks® are manufactured by, and a registered trade mark of Compass Tanks
