6 Reasons Why Builders, Drain Layers and Plumbers Choose Promax Slimline Tanks
Promax Slimline Tanks: A streamlined, discreet, and easy-to-install water storage solution.
New Zealand's urban development means plumbers, builders, and drainlayers face the challenge of adapting to shrinking residential spaces. Section sizes have decreased significantly over the past three decades, with new builds now occupying median sizes of less than 500 square meters. As these changes reshape the construction and plumbing industry, the need for innovative solutions becomes paramount.
Enter the Promax Slimline Tank – a streamlined, discreet, and easy-to-install water storage solution. Discover why this tank is not only a practical choice for smaller residential spaces but also an economically sound and sustainable solution for New Zealand’s urban centres
1. Tailored for Compact Kiwi Residential Spaces
As the urban centres in New Zealand experience population growth and diminishing land sizes, it's crucial to adapt to these changes. In Auckland, our largest urban hub, new section sizes have decreased by a third over the past three decades. The median size for new builds is now less than 500 square meters, with an average section size 120 square meters smaller than in the rest of New Zealand. Similar trends are observed in other towns and cities, with houses on new developments constructed close together on relatively small blocks. The Promax Slimline tank is compact enough to seamlessly fit into smaller sections. For example, our 1000L Slimline tank, measuring just 1.8 meters in height, 2.25 meters in length, and 310 centimetres in width, is the least visually intrusive tank on the New Zealand market.
2. Unobtrusive Design for Seamless Integration
The Promax Slimline Tank boasts a compact design that ensures it blends seamlessly with smaller residential spaces. Install it discreetly behind the house or along the fence, and you'll hardly notice it's there. The slender and compact design prevents it from encroaching on your space, making it a visually appealing choice. r.
3. Effortless Installation
The Promax Slimline Tank not only looks great but is also remarkably easy to install. Unlike comparable products from other manufacturers, the Promax Slimline Tank includes built-in seismic restraints, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while significantly reducing installation costs. This innovative design means that safety requirements are not compromised while significantly lowering the installation expenses. Unlike competitors' products that require posts to be concreted into the ground to a depth of 1.2 to 1.8 meters, the Promax Slimline tank is bolted to the concrete pad. The Promax Slimline Tank is also available as a Slimline Tank and Pump Combo. The tank and pump combo delivers the benefits of a Promax Slimline Tank with a pre-plumbed pump system.
4. Compact and Compliant
While primary structural elements are well designed and detailed by a structural engineer, non-structural elements, such as water tanks, can be overlooked through the various stages of a project. Good seismic design elements save lives and costs. The in-built seismic restraints means that safety requirements are not compromised with a Promax Slimline Tank. Promax also offers a free PSI to confirm the seismic restraints are built in accordance with New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) requirements.
5. Cost-Effective and Budget-Friendly
The Promax Slimline Tank is not just suitable for smaller sections; it's also an ideal choice for smaller budgets. For those with limited funds, this tank provides an affordable way to harvest water and comply with seismic regulations.
6. Slim and Sustainable
In line with the growing demand for sustainable living, the Promax Slimline Tank aligns with this philosophy. Affordable, easy to install, and capable of storing and providing ample water, it contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle by reducing dependence on the main water supply.
