Paxton water storage tanks are durable, high-capacity containers used for storing liquids. They're primarily made from polyethylene plastic, a material known for its strength and resistance to rust and corrosion. These tanks are a popular choice for a variety of applications due to their long lifespan and low maintenance.
Key Features & Benefits:
- UV-Stabilised Polyethylene: The tanks are manufactured from a high-grade plastic that is UV-stabilised. This means it can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight without degrading, becoming brittle, or cracking. This ensures the tank remains in excellent condition, even when installed outdoors.
- Seamless, One-Piece Moulding: Paxton tanks are created using a rotational moulding process that produces a single, seamless unit. This eliminates weak points, joints, or welds that are susceptible to leaks, making the tank exceptionally strong and watertight.
- Non-Toxic and Food-Grade: The polyethylene used is non-tainting and safe for storing potable (drinking) water. This makes Paxton tanks suitable for both agricultural and domestic use, including rainwater harvesting for household consumption.
- Corrosion and Rust-Proof: Unlike metal tanks, polyethylene does not rust or corrode. This is a significant advantage, especially in coastal or damp environments, ensuring the purity of the stored liquid is maintained over time.
- Easy Installation and Handling: The lightweight nature of the plastic makes these tanks much easier to transport and install than heavy concrete or steel alternatives. They can be placed on a firm, level base without the need for extensive groundwork.
- Wide Range of Sizes and Types: Paxton offers a variety of tanks to suit different needs, from small cylindrical tanks for domestic use to large, industrial-sized models. Their range includes different shapes, such as slimline designs that are perfect for fitting into tight spaces, and underground tanks.
Paxton tanks are a versatile storage solution used for:
- Rainwater Harvesting: Collecting and storing rainwater for garden watering, toilet flushing, and laundry.
- Agricultural Use: Providing a secure water supply for livestock and crop irrigation.
- Domestic Use: Storing water for homes that are not connected to the main water supply, or as an emergency backup.
- Industrial and Commercial: Storing a variety of liquids, including chemicals, oils, and other substances.
By investing in a Paxton water tank, you're choosing a durable, safe, and low-maintenance storage solution that will serve you reliably for many years.
