Collect Your Own Tank Roof Water
If you would like to harvest the rainwater from the roof of your new Rhino Tank AND still keep your tank sealed from dust and vermin then Rhino has a solution. 'Rainsaver Caps' are now available from Rhino Tanks and are installed around the circumference of the roof just inside the wall line so that rainwater can run down the corrugations through the rainsaver screen and into the tank. This option still allows you to include the Dust and Vermin Proofing between the tank wall and the roof to keep insects, dust, birds and frogs from entering your tank.

New Tanks at Tamworth Jockey Club
Rhino Water Tanks continues to lead the way in polyethylene lined steel tanks in Australia and around the world. Although we now export to more than 20 countries, our family owned and operated business places a strong emphasis on supporting regional Australia and in particular many sporting clubs affected by the drought. One such sporting organisation that has recently benefitted from Rhino's generosity is the Tamworth Jockey Club. Following recent issues with ground water availability that were jeopardising the Club's tracks, a study recommended the Club urgently install two large water tanks to store ground water pumped from the Club's two bores thereby enabling irrigation of the tracks to be conducted in a more efficient manner. Racing NSW contributed $50,000 towards the project as well as TJC's own funds. Consequently, the Club secured two 260,000L storage tanks from Rhino Water Tanks which Rhino installed at extremely short notice and also assisted the club remain within their budget. The tanks are now operational and are already making a difference to one of regional Australia's largest racing clubs.

Rhino Teams up with Werribee Zoo
In 2008 Rhino Water Tanks donated a 98,000Litre Rhino Tank to the Werribee Open Range Zoo to assist them in their efforts to overcome the current water shortage in Melbourne. The donated tank, plus 2 additional Rhino Tanks purchased at the time are mainly used to store rainwater for washing the Safari buses and to operate the Hippo Water Play Area - which has been out of operation since potable water became unavailable. Recently the Zoo has purchased another 2 tanks to add to their total storage capacity.

New Rhino Safeguard Fire Protection Tanks
Rhino Water Tanks announces the release of the NEW 'Rhino Safeguard' series of tanks. Unique to Rhino Water Tanks, the Rhino Safeguard Series has been developed in response to the growing need to ensure your water tank has the best chance of surviving a bushfire. The dimensions and capacities of this new range of tanks are the same as the standard range; however the NEW 3 stage dual skin insulated protection system has a 130mm air gap between the existing tank wall and an outer shell to help protect the tank proper and the liner. Another significant feature is that the outlets are actually fitted through the bottom of the tank and plumbed underground to prevent damage during a fire front. An additional Galvanised Valve Access Box is also fitted to enclose the valves at their surface exit point as well a sprinkler mounted on the roof and plumbed to the tank for an added cooling effect.
