Portable water tanks are engineered for increased mobility and to support the transportation of water. These tanks come in different shapes, sizes and materials. If you’re wondering which portable water tank would best suit your needs, you have come to the right place. Let’s have a look at the difference between different water tank styles.

Metal Tanks or Steel Tanks:

These traditional tanks have become known for corroding and splitting at the seams over time. While they do come in a wide array of sizes and can be customised to fit specific project needs it is important to know that there are more durable and lightweight options on the market. When choosing a steel tank, space and volume often is the biggest concern.

Fibreglass Tanks:

Fibreglass tanks are the least common style of water tanks. These tanks are durable, corrosive material and highly-heat resistant. However, fibreglass tanks come in a limited range of sizes and are non-recyclable.

Pillow (Bladder) Tanks:

Bladder tanks for emergency water storage. They are Collapsible Tanks (also known as a pillow bladder, or blivet tanks) are a unique solution for re-usable temporary storage.

Polyethylene Tanks:

Polyethylene tanks (poly tanks) remain the most popular choice amongst portable water tanks for a reason. Useful for hauling water between work-sites and around the property for watering needs, these tanks can fit in truck beds, trailers and other modes of transport.

At Global Rotomoulding, our portable water tanks are made from food grade safe poly plastic, which is perfect for housing a vast range of liquids.

After eight months of lobbying, producers in the Far West regions of NSW are breathing a sigh of relief after the NSW Government opened applications for water rebates. As part of the Emergency Water Infrastructure Rebate Scheme, this funding provides drought-affected livestock farmers with a rebate of up to $25,000.

This much-needed fiscal support is welcomed by farmers in Broken Hill and surrounding areas. The rebate covers 25% of the costs associated with purchasing, delivering and installing on-farm water infrastructure for animal welfare needs. We have spoken about on-farm rebates before – you can read more here. Although this is not a full rebate, it does provide significant help to farmers in NSW, especially in Broken Hill and surrounding areas who have suffered severe hardship from the drought.

Can the rebate be used for tanks?

Global Tanks is pleased to report that the rebate can be used to buy and install water storage for livestock. Purchasing pieces of equipment that improve water supply have a good return on investment for farmers, so it is wise to take advantage of this rebate before it’s too late!

Which tank should you choose?

With a wide range of water storage tanks and agricultural products, Global Tanks can help you tailor a solution to fit your needs. Our team of experts will work with you to find a suitable product which meets the requirements of the rebate. All Global Tanks products can be purchased directly from us online or via telephone order.

How long will the rebate be available?

The rebate will only be available until July 30, 2021, or when the funding allocation is exhausted, whichever comes first. However, the beauty of this rebate is that it can be backdated to costs that farms incurred from July 1, 2018. If you’d like to apply for the Emergency Water Infrastructure online form, click here.
