A Promax detention tank and a Promax retention tank are not the same. Sure, they look the same, and indeed, they are both stormwater tanks. But the way they are set up makes them very different. This guide will explain that difference and show you why the words “detention” and retention” are not interchangeable.
The stronger your water tank, the more peace of mind it will give you. It will be better able to withstand the elements at their most extreme and act as a reliable water source for many years. At the same time, you want a water tank that is relatively easy to install. You'll be pleased to know Promax plastic water tanks are incredibly robust and durable but light enough to make the installation process straightforward.
Potential customers often ask us, “What size water storage tank do I need?” At first glance, it might look like one question with a range of complex answers. However, at Promax, we prefer to explain things in simple terms, so we will sum it up in one response: buy the biggest tank possible. In our experience, no one has ever complained that their water tank is too big.
Extra capacity means more water, and we know our customers always find a way to use it. A prime example is in our increasingly drought-stricken regions, where people can access the rainwater they’ve collected in their storage tanks and keep their lawns and gardens alive through frequent watering. There is no such thing as too much water in dry areas, and therefore, no such thing as too much tank volume. Read more here.

Promax is New Zealand's premier manufacturer of superior polyethylene water storage and transport products. Our plastic water tanks combine several significant advantages that make them the smartest choice for residential or rural settings. Read more here.

...Read MoreYes, a Wallace Seal can be used to seal the pipe to the tank. It is important to note that a Wallace Seal, not a Uniseal, should be used as it has a deeper throat to seal inside the corrugation and is more malleable. We recommend installing the seal no more than 500mm down the side wall of the tank.
