What are Bladder Tanks and How can They Benefit You?
You may have heard of Bladder Tanks or Pillow
Tanks and wondered what exactly they are. Firstly, let me assure you they have nothing to
do with the toilet or your bed! Basically, they are flexible tanks that resemble... you
guessed it, a bladder or a pillow.
Often when someone mentions a water tank, what comes to mind is the reliable, standard corrugated iron or concrete tank servicing families with a good supply of rainwater for years to come, or unfortunately, one of the thick plastic 'cheap and nasties' available from the local shop that only manages to store enough water... to fill your sink!
Seldom do people picture the flexible rainwater bladder tank, and do you know why? Because they're seldom seen. Oh, don't get me wrong - they're out there in great numbers supplying large quantities of water to homes 'in cognito' because they are often hidden in places that were too small for the standard tank or too awkward to get to for installation. These 'awkward' places include under verandas, pool decks and houses.
Superior Water Tanks chooses to supply RainPac™ Flexible Rainwater Bladder Tanks. The
RainPac™ Bladder Tanks are 100% Australian made and owned. Not only are the RainPac™
Flexible Rainwater Bladder Tanks a great alternative to standard tanks for those hard to
