Residential water tanks for off-the-grid living

Posted on April 22, 2022

Residential water tanks are key infrastructure when you opt for an off-the-grid life in rural Australia.

You can’t survive without water. It’s as simple as that. And when mains supply is not an option, you have to find another way to source and store essential water.

At Stainless Steel Tanks, our hardy water tanks are a perfect fit for life off the grid. Made of either grade 304 or 316 stainless steel, they are a popular choice because:

  • They are highly durable and enjoy a long service life;
  • Due to the make up of their material, they offer high protection from corrosion and rust. This means you get to enjoy water that’s uncontaminated and safe to drink without risking your health;
  • They are also resistant to fire. And when you live in country Australia, having a workable fire survival plan is vital. Water supply for fire fighting is a key factor;
  • They come in a huge range of sizes. Whether you need tank with a 400-litre capacity or a massive 39,000-litre tank, we can help;
  • They are 100 per cent recyclable;
  • By using our residential water tanks, you’ll be able to enjoy a free natural resource – rain harvested from your home’s roof, or sheds.

Reliable water storage

No matter where you live, be it 10 minutes from the nearest town or a 10-hour round trip, reliable water storage is a must. You need water for drinking and cooking, for bathing and for washing clothes. For many, tank supply is also important to achieve a thriving, productive garden. And what about water for stock?

The bottom line is off-the-grid living requires decent planning for it to be successful. Some people choose this path because they’re committed to a sustainable lifestyle and want to reduce their carbon footprint. But for many others living in country Australia, tanks are simply a reality of life without mains water supply.
