Bladder Tank FAQs and
Installation Instructions
FAQ's:
1.
What are the tanks made of?
Our Bladder Tanks are made of a 1000GSM Flexible reinforced PVC
tarpaulin.
2.
How are they made?
Our Bladder Tanks have a 25mm over lap, heat and pressure seamed
joint. Due to the joints and corners overlapping seams and the rectangular
shape of the bag, water pressure is more evenly distributed, unlike
the sock style of bladders where the water pressure is completely
on the seam.

supplier believes that they have designed and built one of the best
products in the market. They only use the best nmaterial and construction...

1000gsm (1000 grams per square metre) bag ( Australian market ranges
from 200- 800)
- suoerior flexible PVC. The Australian market has not been able
to join flexible PVC to date

heat seam

( the Australian market has not been able to join Flexible PVC to
date)

first-flush diverters and pumps.

After the ground is cleared of all sharp objects, simply use a builders
plastic or a weed matting.

first flush outlets, otherwise you may not be eligible for council
rebates.
