Water Bladders Are an Ideal Storage Solution For Under The Deck and
Under The House

bladder-tankBladder tanks can be a brilliant answer when lack of space around the house means that above ground water tanks can’t do the job. Quietly sitting between the supports under your deck, or between the piers under your house, bladder tanks do the job out of sight and out of mind. Until now, price has been the problem.

bladder-tank-testUntil now, prices for bladder tanks have made them an expensive choice. Elsewhere, you are likely to pay anything between $1100 and $2000 for a single 2000 litre bladder tank. We’ve dramatically changed that.

Our new range of heavy-duty (1000 gsm flexible reinforced PVC tarpaulin) bladder tanks raise the bar on quality, and dramatically lower prices. They’re also tough- see the test on the left!

We buy direct from the importer, and you save. Now you can have a 2000 litre bladder tank for hundreds of dollars less than competition! We can supply three different sizes- 2000, 3000 and 5000 litres. All are the same height and width- only the length changes. Here are the prices and dimensions…

Water Bladder Tank Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the tanks made of?
Our Bladder Tanks are made of a 1000GSM Flexible reinforced PVC tarpaulin.

2. How are they made?
Our Bladder Tanks have a 25mm over lap, heat and pressure seamed joint. Due to the joints and corners overlapping seams and the rectangular shape of the bag, water pressure is more evenly distributed, unlike the sock style of bladders where the water pressure is completely on the seam.

3. Are they algae resistant?
Yes

4. Are they UV stabilized?
Yes

5. Are they pressure tested?
Yes – every bag is pressure tested before packing.

6. Are they guaranteed not to leak?
All bladders are pressure tested before they leave the factory.

7. Is there a Warranty?
Yes, a 5 year full replacement warranty against manufacturing faults.

8. Why choose our bladders over our competitors?
Following investigation of the market place over the last 12 months,the supplier believes that they have designed and built one of the best products in the market. They only use the best nmaterial and construction…

– a 1000gsm (1000 grams per square metre) bag ( Australian market ranges from 200- 800)
– suoerior flexible PVC. The Australian market has not been able to join flexible PVC to date
– double the thickness at every outlet ( 2000gsm) with a double heat seam
– moulded stablization rings on each corner, and a flexible PVC ( the Australian market has not been able to join Flexible PVC to date)

9. Do they have to be installed on level ground?
Yes – the ground will need to be level.

10. Can they be connected back to toilets?

12. How much of the volume is usable?
Approx 95% of the water in the bladder should be usable, depending on installation.

We recommend that when fitting the 90mm inlet at the top of the tank you add a non acid silcone to ensure a complete seal.

You can buy these from us, or from your local plumbing or irrigation supplier. We can also supply tank accessories such as rainheads, first-flush diverters and pumps.

After the ground is cleared of all sharp objects, simply use a builders plastic or a weed matting.

Yes you can, but we do suggest you have a plumber install these for you and connect them to the downpipes and fit the overflow and first flush outlets, otherwise you may not be eligible for council rebates.

NO, these tanks are designed for non-potable water use. We will have potable-water models in early 2008..
