Underground water tanks are a practical and highly efficient system designed to provide pure rainwater for drinking and household use while reducing mains water use – without taking up any space.
Traditionally an underground rain water tanks have primarily been constructed of concrete or ferro cement.
Modern construction techniques and the latest technology has made poly water tanks also available in an underground water tank configuration.
Ideal for urban living, an underground water tank collects rainwater from your roof, and stores it underground for your future use. With built-in, self cleaning filters, dirt and solid particles are separated from the water, effectively screening and filtering the water ready for use.
Often included as part of the development of new homes an underground water tank is a space saving solutions. Concrete tanks for example, can often be installed under driveways, and provide a solid platform for sheds or gazebos to be built on.
Urban areas often prohibit the use of above ground tanks because of smaller block sizes. Many concrete and poly underground rain water tank options are trafficable and can be located under the driveway of the house, with only the access covers visible.

Big tanks and small blocks don’t go together yet with higher and higher water restrictions our need for more tank capacity in urban homes is increasing.
Authorities in an increasing number of councils around Australia are requiring new homes to have water storage for stormwater detention/retention purposes and an underground water tanks are a perfect solution..
Because a concrete underground water tank is often poured on site manufactures are typically smaller companies specialising in specific geographic areas.
Not all poly water tank manufacturers manufacture underground poly water tanks but those companies that do include Tankmasta Water Tanks and Nylex Water
