How the Bushmans & Aqualine Merger has changed australian water industry
Eight years ago, the merger between Bushmans and Aqualine marked a significant milestone for Bushmans. The partnership brought together Bushmans high-quality poly water tanks and steel water tank solutions in the form of Aqualine steel tanks. Today, we reflect on the impact of this merger, highlighting its role in promoting environmental responsibility and addressing water scarcity through advanced, efficient water storage systems.
Aqualine steel tanks, are capable of storing from 20,000L to 360,000L of water and are at the forefront in addressing the large water storage needs, from agricultural irrigation to commercial operations. Poly water tanks can be ideal for many situations throughout Australia. However, their design limits them to around a maximum capacity of 50,000 litres. This is due to size and design considerations, larger tanks would not fit on trucks and would not be structurally sound. This is why Bushmans sought a steel tank solution to be able to offer larger water storage options.
The large capacity options offered by Aqualine steel tanks is an advantage as they are crucial in areas prone to drought and water shortages. By offering a high water capacity, these tanks help reduce the impact of water shortages, ensuring a reliable water supply during critical times.
This sustainable approach empowers homeowners, farmers, and businesses alike to actively engage in water conservation efforts, making Aqualine steel tanks an advantageous solution for both large water management and environmental preservation.
Bushmans and Aqualine has enabled the development of water storage systems that are integral to combating fires, particularly in rural and bushfire-prone regions where access to reliable water sources are vital.
These tanks are equipped with fire-resistant features, including materials that can endure high temperatures and can be fitted with local council specific firefighting outlets, designed for quick and efficient access by firefighters. Compliance with each council is taken into consideration to make sure the tank is appropriately set up for the purpose.

By offering customised solutions that consider local environmental conditions and fire risk factors, Aqualine and Bushmans are directly contributing to the resilience of communities who live in bushfire-prone areas, providing them with the means to better protect themselves against the threat of bushfires.
Aqualine tanks are designed to be robust and have large capacities in order to withstand Australia’s harsh conditions. Aqualine offers an array of colour options to help the tanks blend into the landscape. The traditional corrugated fence and shed has been the inspiration for the galvanised tank look, whereas the Colorbond options will suit modern coloured sheds and locations.
While a tank can help reduce water bills, keep plants and livestock watered and be a lifeline at crucial times, a steel tank can also be an excellent asset for a property that will add value for years to come.
