There are a number of important differences between steel and plastic (polyethylene) water tanks: • Steel water tanks are 100% UV-proof. This means they will not degrade in sunlight.

This means you can have a water tank for your home that fits perfectly in any available space, maximizing the amount of rainwater you can harvest. Plastic water tanks can only be made in a small range of sizes. • The strength of steel water tanks means they will not bulge or stretch when full of water. As a result, the slimline range of steel water tanks take up considerably less space on your property than plastic tanks. • Steel is the most environmentally friendly material from which to make water tanks. Not only are they fully recyclable but the environmental impact of steel water tank production is less than that of tanks made from any other mater
