20000L Water Tanks BAL ratings or BASIX Requirements

With new regulations implemented after past bushfire seasons, the BAL Rating system [Bushfire Attack Level] gives guidelines for properties on Bushfire prone land. Part of these recommendations are to have a dedicated fire tank [water stored for the sole purpose of firefighting].

The tanks can be made to have the Storz fitting [NSW] or Camlock fitting [Qld] installed to meet the local council requirements for the BAL Rating, on your property.

20000L Water Tanks – Your Path to Water Independence

Discover water self-sufficiency with our 20000L water tanks, designed for substantial water storage.

This large tank enables you to significantly supplement your mains water supply, reducing dependence on it. In some fire-prone areas, local councils require this tank size as a minimum.

Customisation is available. For example, a 20000 litre tank can be around 3300mm wide and about 2350mm high or narrower but taller, at around 2900mm wide and about 3100mm high. Contact us for tailored solutions.

All Our Steel Water Tanks Come with Three Standard Inclusions. Upon ordering your tank(s) you will be asked to place on a diagram where you want the fittings located.

  • Inlet Strainer 400 mm
  • Mosquito-proof overflow 90/100 mm
  • 25mm outlet with a tested Ball value

Additional Fittings

Best practice for larger tanks is to also include a High suction (HS) fitting. This is a 50mm outlet and ball valve installed on the corrugation above. This allows for efficient water balancing when other tanks are connected. The HS Fitting also protects the pumps and internal water appliances as it draws only clean water from above the sludge / anaerobic level.

You may also wish to purchase a Bucket Height Tap for example, where the tap is placed high enough from the base, to allow gravity feed of water, into a bucket placed under the tap.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is a 20,000 litre water tank?

We can build our round rainwater tanks with a capacity from as little as 190 litres to a huge 29,800 litres, with diameters from as little as 900mm to 3700mm wide, and heights from 300mm to 3100mm tall. The popular sizes for 20000l water tanks are typically.

  • 3300mm Wide x 2350mm High
  • 2900mm Wide x 3100mm High
How long will 20,000 litres of Water Last?

On average in Australia, we consume 340 litres of water per person per day.

So, 20000l water tanks will last approximately:

  • 58.82 days for 1 person
  • 29.41 days for 2 people
  • 14.71 days for a family of 4

These calculations are based on the same assumption of a constant consumption rate of 340 litres per person per day.

Can I use 20000l water tanks as a fire reserve for my property?

Yes, steel water tanks can be utilised as fire reserves for properties. They can provide an additional source of water for firefighting purposes, contributing to improved fire safety.

20000l water tanks are commonly chosen to comply with BAL ratings or BASIX requirements in certain areas.
