Steel water tanks are built to last at least 15 years or more, and our tanks are under manufacturers warranty for 10 years plus carry Bluescope Steel’s 20 year Aquaplate® warranty on the steel.
Whether the water tank is made from corrugated steel or galvanised steel, all our water tanks are hand crafted and reinforced with steel rods to ensure strength and integrity of the water tank shape and longevity.
Any joins or rivets are hand sealed with a 100% food safe sealant and we pride ourselves on manufacturing leak free high quality steel rainwater tanks.
Steel Water Tank Types
gmTANKS manufactures water tanks from 2 types of steel:
- Bluescope Aquaplate® Steel
We source only Australian Bluescope Aquaplate® Steel, specifically designed for use in water storage tanks that require the water to be potable, or suitable for use as drinking water. This specialist corrugated steel has a laminate on the inside made from a specially formulated food-grade polymer film, and meets the stringent quality requirements necessary for the storage of drinking water. The outer substrate material is a galvanised formable steel that is rolled into a corrugated shape for strength and longevity against the harsh Australian sun, UV and weather conditions.
- Galvanised steel (Gal)
Our high quality classic Galvanised Steel tanks offer the traditional Australian metallic tank aesthetic. Gal tanks offer the same benefits as our Bluescope Aquaplate® Steel tanks with the classic silver finish that is iconic to the Australian landscape.
Why we manufacture Steel Water Tanks
We choose to use corrugated steel in the manufacture of our tanks because it is a cost effective, durable and environmentally friendly option for water tank fabrication. You can read more about the benefits of steel tanks on our blog.
