Water Tank Liners: the end of a leaking tank

Concrete tanks crack — in the base, where the walls meet the base, and in the walls themselves. It's not a defect. The clay underneath goes through wet and dry cycles, working the tank a little with every season. Concrete is inelastic, so it cracks.

Here's the key thing: structurally, your tank has likely got decades left in it. What it can no longer do is be both the structure and the waterproofing at the same time. A liner separates those two jobs — the concrete keeps doing the structural work, the liner takes over the waterproofing. It isn't bonded to the wall, so it moves with the tank instead of cracking with it. That's why renders and sealants delaminate and a liner doesn't.

Australian-made, food-safe to AS/NZS 4020, installed in a day after a 3–4 week lead time, 10-year warranty on liner and workmanship, 20–30+ year lifespan — a fraction of the cost of a new tank.

Water Tank Cleaning: What's lurking in your tank?

Every water tank requires periodic cleaning. Depends on the vicinity of trees to your gutters, how far you are from a dusty road and the amount of sediment from your bore pump. The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines recommend cleaning and desludging tanks every 2–3 years. A well maintained rainharvesting system can be rewarded is less frequent tank cleaning.

Organic matter deposits present the biggest problem, imparting tannins, discolouration and providing a home for anerobic bacteria that breaks it down into a black sludge.

A typical tank clean is outlined below:

Sludge floating in a concrete water tank before vacuum cleaning
BEFORE — Approximately a 300mm buildup of leaves and sludge. The water is discoloured and foul tasting, resulting from years of organic matter flowing in from the gutters, slowly being broken down by anerobic bacteria in your water supply tank. It's time for a clean!
Vacuum cleaning a concrete water tank with brush and suction hose
DURING — Sediment and organic matter being vacuumed out of the tank with a pumping system specifically designed for tank cleaning.
We suggest a 'Drain & Clean', but well maintained tanks can sometimes be effectively cleaned, while leaving water remaining in the tank afterwards. Discussed in advance.
Spotless tank interior after vacuum cleaning
RESULT — This job took ~1hr from time of arrival. Vacuum cleaning provides a significantly better result than simply draining the tank and bucketing out the sludge by hand, a horrible time consuming job which leaves behind excess sludge. The water carter is booked for later that afternoon.
