Apollo Tanks are a local manufacturing business owned and operated in Yatala. With a History of over 7 years experinece you can rely on Apollo tanks to give you the highest quality service in Rainwater tanks. Water tanks are an effective way to store water. By using Rainwater Tanks for your everday uses e.g. flushing toilets and filling washing machines you can reduce your dependence on mains water and protect our dams water level.
Using rainwater appropriately (and in conjunction with water efficient devices like dual flush toilets, showerheads with at least a AAA-rating, taps, tap aerators, trigger nozzles, tap timers and minimising total bathroom numbers) can save you money and help the environment by:
- Conserving our valuable drinking water and reducing the demand on our water supply. Conserving water also reduces the chemical and energy requirements for treating and transporting water to your home via the mains supply.
- Reducing the amount of stormwater leaving your property and thus minimising flooding. Using your rainwater for day-to-day purposes like toilet flushing helps create space in your tank for more water next time it rains
- Reducing the total amount of water waste that needs to be handled by the sewerage system
Getting the most out of your rainwater tank :
If you are using your tank for water conservation and stormwater management, it is important to keep in mind the following factors:
- Tank capacity: The larger the tank, the more rainwater can be captured for use during dry periods.
- A minimum tank size of 5,000 litres is desirable
- Water use: It's best to use the water in the tank on a regular (daily) basis so there is always storage capacity available in the tank when it rains. By using the tank this way you will maximise the amount of water and money you save and reduce the amount of run-off from your roof to the stormwater system

All Tanks are made from Bluescope Steel Aquaplate
AQUAPLATE® steel has been developed by BlueScope Steel specifically for the water tank market. It has a food-grade polymer skin bonded to its inner surface which helps ensure your water tastes clean and fresh, free from any tainting from the tank itself. It's for this reason that a tank made from AQUAPLATE® steel stands out from the rest.
Setting the Standard
A tank made from AQUAPLATE® steel is the only steel tank to comply with the tough Australian Standard on the use of plastic materials for food contact use (AS2070 part2).
In effect, it means AQUAPLATE® steel is deemed completely safe for the storage of drinking water for human consumption.
Proven Performance
AQUAPLATE® steel is available in a galvanised steel finish, or a selected range of pre-painted colours. Either way, you get all the advantages of a material that is strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and durable across a range of environments. It won't crack as a result of aging or sun exposure, and it's the ideal choice for bushfire-prone locations.
