Coerco designs and manufactures a range of high quality Rainwater Tanks for the Perth and WA market. Coerco rainwater tanks are developed with strict quality control in place. This ensures they are suitable for drinking quality and fully UV stabilised to withstand the weather conditions in Perth and WA.

For strength and a more traditional look, they are also corrugated. With a self-supporting lid design there’s no need for any internal support either. Available in sizes ranging from 1,000 litres to 32,000 litres.

Our Flat Walled Tanks or flat walled rain water tanks are sturdy, reliable and like the rest of the range, designed to last. Our flat walled tanks are supplied with a screw in lid, overflow outlet and ball valve, and come in sizes from 5,300 litres, to 50,000 litres.

We also feature Slimline Tanks. Call us today on 1800 860 851 to discuss how we can help choose the right rainwater tank for your needs.


Why Water Tanks are Useful in Western Australia


1. Scheme or potable water may not be available in your area or pressure may slow down during certain times of the year.

2. Oftentimes, seasonal changes or sudden fluctuations in weather necessitate clean water storage that is safe for human and animal consumption while being harmless to plants.

3. Western Australia is prone to bushfires caused by multiple factors. Having available water for your fire fighting unit to fight fire is akin to having a first aid kit when you live away from the nearest medical facility.

4. By having water tanks, you lessen your dependence on scheme water and save on water bills.

5. You can reduce stormwater runoff on your property and mitigate the possible damages it could cause.


How to Pick the Right Rainwater Tank




    • Choose a water tank size

    • Calculate your average household water requirements

    • Choose a water tank colour

How to Choose the Right-Sized Rain Water Tank

          • Calculate catchment area

            Measure your roof. Measurement should be in square metres.

          • Find amount of average rainfall

            Find up to date statistics on amount of average rainfall in your area by visiting www.bom.gov.au.


        • Determine possible harvest in a year

          Formula: roof area x average rainfall


Scenario:

Catchment area = 200 m2

Average rainfall = 500 mm a year

Potential rain harvest: 100,000 litres of rainwater

Now that you have a good estimate of how much rainwater your roof can catch, it’s time to determine how much water your property really needs.



How to Calculate Your Property’s Average Water Requirements

        • Assign 250 litres of water per person per day (this will cover such personal activities as brushing teeth, bathing, etc.)

        • Assign 120 litres per person per day (this will cover washing machine usage) plus 35 litres per person per day (covers dish washing).

        • Then, multiply the total by 365. The product is the estimate of your property's water consumption for 1 whole year.


How to Choose a Water Tank Colour

      • Consider where you want to place the tank so you can complement the colour to its environment.

      • Note that the colour of your tank can also influence the temperature of the water inside.


        Darker colours generally absorb more heat than lighter colours. Thus, a dark-coloured water tank would give you warmer water whereas a lighter coloured one would result in cooler water.


Yet again, many factors could come to play. A light-coloured water tank in an open field could, due to exposure, contain warmer water compared to a dark-coloured water tank sitting in the shade.




Another factor would be the thickness of the tank and the material used. Coerco water tanks are thick and made of quality rotational-moulding resins that provide resistance to weather. And with Colorbond Colours to choose from, you can be sure to have water tanks that look good whilst being strong.
