Promax Xpress Water Tanks VS Promax Enduro Water Tanks

Firstly, why choose choose Promax over our other tank brands Devan, RX Plastics and Aqua? 

Promax focuses on service and quality, they've been manufacturing tanks for nearly 30 years, and produce the strongest tanks (the Enduro range) in New Zealand. 

XPRESS VS ENDURO WATER TANKS

Promax has 2 types of tanks available in the domestic aboveground range:

• The premium Promax Enduro Tanks which have corrugated walls
• The Promax Xpress Tanks which have smooth walls and is comparable to other tanks on the market. 

The biggest difference between these is the smooth and corrugated walls, which directly impacts the strength of the tank. 

PROMAX ENDURO RANGE: 

The Promax Enduro range is the strongest tank on the market with the special strength-enforcing corrugated wall. It's able to be partially buried up to 1m and still retain it's 20-year warranty. This is one of the only tanks on the market that can be buried up to 1m with the original backfill rather having to use sand or bark. 

Sinking the tank in the ground means you can get it out of sight and can achieve fall in the downpipes. For example, the 25,000L Promax Enduro tank is 2850mm high to the top of the dome. Inset in the ground, and now it's no higher than the average fence! 

A testament to the strength of these tanks, was the aftermath of the devastating Kaikoura earthquake. Promax Enduro tanks suffered no recorded failures during the strongest ground shaking event ever recorded in New Zealand. They've since been widely referred to in the community as ‘the tanks that with-stood the earthquakes’.

PROMAX XPRESS RANGE

The Promax Xpress range competes with other similar tanks in the market. This tank has been designed for budget-conscious buyers without compromising on Promax's celebrated quality. These tanks still have a 20 year warranty but are strictly above ground only.
