Aqualiner FRESH® Liner

Pioneer Water Tanks proudly maintains its reputation for offering the industry's finest tank liners, a legacy that spans over three decades of proven performance and testing.

Introducing our latest innovation, the next-generation Pioneer Aqualiner FRESH® water tank liner. This innovative liner exceeds the Australian Standards, boasting superior flexibility, strength, waterproofing, and reliability. Notably, it stands as the world's first water tank liner to incorporate advanced Sanitized® Silver antimicrobial technology, enhancing both the health and water quality benefits we deliver to our valued customers. 

The Sanitized® Silver antimicrobial technology is mixed into the master batch of black polyethylene (PE) film used in the construction of  the liner fabric.

The black PE film is one of the three multiple layers found in the liner fabric, providing superior strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance and leak resistance of Aqualiner FRESH®. 

The treated black PE film is then laminated to the inside surface of the liner fabric - the side that is in direct contact with the tank water.

With the Pioneer Aqualiner FRESH®, we're committed to keeping your water fresher for longer, setting a new benchmark in water tank liner technology.

 

 

150mm Bellmouth Overflow

Pioneer Water Tanks takes pride in delivering an industry-leading overflow solution featuring an impressive 150mm diameter overflow connection and down piping.

Our design strictly adheres to the Plumbing Industry Board's specifications, ensuring that the overflow rate consistently exceeds the infill rate of water. This meticulous engineering approach guarantees your protection against costly issues associated with tank overflows. What sets Pioneer Water Tanks apart is our innovative one-piece PVC wall connection for the overflow, effectively isolating water from any steel components within the overflow penetration. This forward-thinking design not only eliminates the need for chemical-based sealants but also safeguards your potable water supply, reducing the risk of contamination.

 

 

8-80 V-LOCK® Wall System 

Experience the strength and support of Pioneer Water Tanks' innovative 8-80 V-LOCK® wall profile. This modern and unique design combines the durability of corrugated steel with perfect support for the tank liner moulded to the inner wall. The 8-80 V-LOCK® innovation enhances your tank's structural integrity, ensuring it maintains its shape, whether full or empty and minimises stress on the liner for added longevity and reliability. The wall design also includes a bottom lip to prevent shearing and sinking into the sand base, ensuring a level tank and full effective capacity.

 

 

Concealed High Tensile Bolts 

Designed for exceptional strength and long-lasting durability, our bolts are crafted from galvanised high-tensile 8.8-grade material, making them the most resilient bolts on the market, particularly when it comes to shear pressure. To achieve the distinctive, modern appearance of Pioneer Water Tanks, we've ingeniously concealed these bolts within a hidden bolt strip, providing both structural integrity and a sleek, seamless aesthetic.

 

 

Swivel Foot Roof Connection 

Our exclusive heavy-duty Pioneer Water Tank roof is engineered with a distinct swivel foot roof connector and high-tensile bolts. This innovative design provides robust load resistance and secure tie-down, ensuring the dependable performance of your tank roof, even under the most challenging conditions. Trust in the durability and reliability of our tank roofs.

 

 

Sacrificial Anodes 

Enhance the longevity of your water tank with our sacrificial magnesium anodes. Crafted from magnesium, these anodes erode over time in place of the tank, effectively shielding the steel and ensuring your tank remains resilient for an extended period. Pioneer Water Tanks recommends replacing your anodes every five years, guaranteeing you can enjoy the enduring benefits of your tank for a lifetime. Each tank comes with two anodes for your convenience.

Geotextile Underlay

Our geotextile underlay is a highly recommended option, especially in situations where sourcing clean, fine sand is challenging or when you desire added protection for your Aqualiner FRESH® liner against potential damage from sharp objects like stones or rocks. This underlay serves as an effective safeguard, ensuring the longevity and integrity of your liner. In remote locations, it can also offer a cost-effective alternative to sourcing high-quality sand. (Optional Extra)

 

 

Superseal – Dust, Insect and Vermin Protection

Shield your tank from external contaminants such as dirt, dust, insects, and vermin with our optional Superseal solution. This closed-cell protective foam effectively seals the gaps between your roof sheets and the tank wall, ensuring that your clean water remains uncontaminated by external sources. Keep your water supply pristine and safeguarded from unwanted sources of contamination. (Optional Extra)

 

 

Water Level Indicator

Keep precise track of your water reserves with our convenient water level gauges, which are easily affixed to the exterior of your tank. You have the choice between two options: the traditional float and pulley system or a wireless system, available in a variety of colours to suit your preferences. These gauges offer real-time monitoring of water levels, with the marker moving up or down based on the water level, thanks to a counterweight mechanism. For situations where public access may be a concern, we also offer a heavy-duty commercial-grade gauge. (Optional Extra)
