Buying a cheap water tank can actually end up costing you more money in the long term. A poorly designed and manufactured tank will never be as reliable or durable as a good quality product, and it is likely to fail prematurely. Issues with cracking, fittings breaking and taps failing can happen after just a few years, meaning you’ll have to pay for repairs or replacement.

A well-designed water tank will also be easier to maintain than one made using inferior materials. Some water tanks let in too much light, for example, meaning that they need to be cleaned more often due to problems with algae.

As the saying goes, ‘buy cheap, buy twice’. Coerco Water Tanks are not the cheapest on the market, but they are the best. Our premium tanks come with an impressive 20-year warranty against failure caused by inferior workmanship or materials, but we’re confident you won’t need to use it.

Our lead times vary depending on the type of water tank you order and whether you need any non-standard features or fittings. When you place your order, let us know if you have a specific date in mind, and once we’ve agreed on a timescale with you, we’ll always stick to it.

At Coerco, we’re able to have complete control over our delivery process thanks to our own fleet of dedicated delivery vehicles. All our drivers are specially trained in how to move and handle water tanks safely to avoid any damage. Delivery is included in your quote from us, so you know you’re getting the best possible service at every stage. All poly tanks 9,000 litres and above come with free delivery to within 800 kilometres of Perth WA.

Depending on the size of your tank, we may need specific access requirements in order for our delivery vehicle to reach your property. Clear access on roads, lane ways, through gateways, crossings and trees are essential to ensure safe delivery of your tank without damage. If a driver cannot reach the location, the tank/s will be left at the closest practical position. This may mean you will need to have a smaller vehicle that will be able to transport the tank to the prepared tank pad.

The size of your water tank will depend on the volume of water you need to use for your regular operations, and how you collect that water. Bear in mind that if you only have the space for a small tank, it will need to be refilled more frequently than if you collect and store a larger volume. If you’re collecting rainwater from guttering, your tank inlet must be lower than the gutter, so you need to size and position your tank accordingly.

Once you've chosen the right size tank for your needs, you need to figure out how you're going to get the water into and out of the tank. That's where your tank inlet and outlet come into play. These fixtures need to be correctly sized for your needs and made of durable materials that last. When ordering a tank be sure to be clear on what size outlets you require and where they are to be fitted on the tank. If you are unsure, we do have a standard fitting fit-out that suits most applications.

The goal of farm water planning is to have the amount of water you need, where you need it, when you need it. Many farmers rely on a variety of methods for ensuring they have enough usable water even during the dry season. These can include dams, water wells, surface water storage and natural ponds.

While these methods may work fine if the weather behaves predictably, surface water storage is very inefficient and often has a high evaporation rate. During extended periods of drought, surface water storage may dry up completely. Using an enclosed poly storage tank ensures that there is no loss of already-collected water, and that it is kept clean and safe ready for use.

Water Storage Tanks can be made from a variety of materials. To help make your decision less confusing, we’ve prepared this handy comparison table:
