At Permacrete, we understand the importance of reliable water storage solutions and water safety. With over 60 years of experience in crafting durable concrete water tanks, we've perfected the art of safeguarding your drinking water. In this guide, we'll take you through the step-by-step process of creating safe drinking water with our high-quality concrete tanks.

Step 1: Selecting Quality Materials 

The journey to safe drinking water begins with the selection of quality materials. At Permacrete, we pride ourselves on using only the finest materials in our manufacturing process. Our concrete tanks are crafted with precision and attention to detail, ensuring longevity and reliability with the ability to adhere to New Zealand’s water safety standards. 

Step 2: Controlled Manufacturing

Once the materials are selected, they undergo a controlled manufacturing process at our state-of-the-art facility in Matawhero, Gisborne. Our team of skilled professionals works tirelessly to produce concrete tanks that meet the most exacting specifications. From design to production, every step is carefully monitored to ensure consistency and quality.

Step 3: UV Protection for Algae Prevention

One of the key benefits of concrete water tanks is their ability to prevent algae growth. Unlike other materials, concrete inhibits UV light penetration, keeping your water cool, clear, and free from contaminants. This UV protection is essential for maintaining the purity of your drinking water, making concrete tanks the obvious choice for safe water storage.

Step 4: Environmentally Friendly Design

At Permacrete, we are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. That's why all our concrete tanks are manufactured without the use of harmful chemicals. Additionally, the neutral materials we use are safe for the environment, ensuring minimal impact on the ecosystem.

Step 5: Longevity and Durability

Our concrete water tanks are built to last. With over six decades of experience in the industry, Permacrete's tanks have stood the test of time. From extreme weather conditions to everyday wear and tear, our tanks are designed to withstand whatever challenges come their way, providing you with reliable water storage for years to come.

Step 6: Customisation Options

At Permacrete, we understand that every customer has unique needs. That's why we offer customisation options to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need a large water tank for residential use or specialised storage solutions for agricultural purposes, we can design and manufacture a product that fits your needs perfectly.
