F.A.Q.’S
Can I Buy a Domm Tank directly from you?
We at Domm Tanks are Manufacture wholesalers, who sell directly to retailers and trade buyers only. Businesses with a registered ABN are our customers.
Can I install my Tank by myself?
Domm Tanks always recommends that qualified tradesmen install your new Domm Tank for two reasons.
- First and foremost for the safety of you. Your family and friends. A 2000 litre tank weighs approx. two ton when full. If not installed correctly a full tank can be an accident waiting to happen.
- Secondly like all tank companies your ten year fix or replacement guarantee is only valid if your new Domm Tank/s is correctly installed
on a solid, spirit level flat level footing.
Why do you say to have the tank 150mm from any wall?
All plastic products expand when under pressure; it is therefore for safety reasons that your Domm Tank is situated at least 150mm from any wall or fence.
How thick are the walls of the Domm Tanks?
The food grade poly ethylene is approx. 7mm thick all the way round,
in the 1600 litre & 9 mm thick in the 2000 litre 6mm thick on the 2100 round & 5.5 mm thick on the 1000ltr round. The Australian standard is 4.5mm thick. We do this to be certain that the Domm Tanks are black out to avoid Algae blooms & also for durability. We pride our selves on quality product.
How much do the Domm Tanks weigh empty?
The 1600 litre slim line weighs approx. 55kg when empty and the 2000 litre slime line weighs approx. 75kg, when empty & is inclusive of the internal stainless steal frame. The 2100 litre round tank weighs approx. 50kg empty. The 1000 litre linkable round weighs approx 30 kg empty.

What is the difference between Polypropylene & polyethylene?
Polyethylene is a malleable plastic which is designed to expand and contract when necessary & with out effect to the life of the product. Polypropylene is a hard plastic which is does not have these characteristics. After expanding & contracting many times this plastic can weaken & break.
What footing does it need?
All tanks need to be on a solid spirit level flat footing. Ie: Concrete pavers or a concrete slab. The last thing you want is for sand to be washed away in a down pour, causing your tank to lean. Two ton of weight is a dangerous vessel if not on a secure base.
