Large Water Storage for Farms

Farm water tanks are ideal for properties that need more than basic backyard water storage. They can support rural homes, livestock troughs, gardens, sheds, workshops, machinery washdown and backup water during dry periods.

Many farms choose larger tanks because rural water demand can change quickly. A bigger tank gives you more stored water when rainfall is low, deliveries are delayed, or several parts of the property need water at the same time.

Best Farm Water Tank Sizes

The best farm water tank size depends on your property, water use and available space. Smaller rural blocks may suit a 22,700L or 23,650L tank, while larger farms often choose 25,000L, 30,000L, 45,400L or 47,750L water tanks.

If you need water in more than one area, you may prefer multiple tanks across the property. This can help supply different zones, such as the house, shed, garden, paddock or livestock area.

Farm Water Tanks for Livestock and Troughs

Large farm water tanks can supply troughs for cattle, sheep, and other livestock. The right setup depends on stock numbers, trough location, pipework, pump pressure and refill needs.

For livestock setups, pair your tank with suitable troughs, fittings and pump options so water can move where it is needed across the property.
