XPRESS Water Tank 3,500 Ltr
A simple and streamlined design with a budget-friendly price, but appearances can be deceiving; there’s more to a small Promax XPRESS water tank than meets the eye.
Thanks to their affordability and design, XPRESS small tanks make water storage easy. Like all Promax tanks, we engineer XPRESS above-ground tanks to be the strongest in New Zealand; they’re robust, long-lasting, and easily fit into a restricted space and budget. As a result, you get a lot of benefits for your buck.
- One-piece construction – reducing maintenance and costs.
- Threaded outlet at the base for quick and easy set-up
- NZ Potable Water Standards compliant for clean, fresh drinking water
- Choice of two popular colours: Dark Grey or Mist Green
- Certification to AS/NZ 4766 - Polyethylene storage tank standard
Promax XPRESS Water Tanks feature smooth-sided designs that provide a versatile and reliable solution for water storage. They are designed and engineered without compromise ensuring their long-term structural integrity.
Smooth-sided tanks like Promax Aboveground XPRESS Water Tanks can be inset in the ground only if not backfilled, as they are not designed for in-ground installation. For partial in-ground installation with backfilling, we recommend our specifically engineered Aboveground ENDURO series.

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.
When discussing the respective merits of plastic water storage tanks and their concrete counterparts, there are no prizes for guessing where our loyalties lie. 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.

- The ENDURO 10000, 25000 and 30000L tanks can be buried up to 1m into the ground, can be backfilled against if needed.
- The ENDURO Tank comes with 2x 50mm outlets while the Xpress tanks comes with 1x 50mm outlet.
- ENDURO Tanks are available in 7 colour options while the XPRESS range is available in 2 colour options. Click here for our colour chart.
