Promax Enduro vs. Promax Xpress

In association with Promax

A comparison of aboveground water tanks.

Not all poly tanks are made equal. In an era where water conservation and durability are paramount, Promax is a pioneering force in the water storage industry. Promax stands out with its two-flagship aboveground water tank options: the robust ENDURO and the economical XPRESS. Both designed with precision and engineered for durability, these tanks cater to diverse needs and budgets. Both the ENDURO and XPRESS tank models share several impressive features. They have a heavy ribbed roof design for added strength, and a 600mm diameter manway, which is the largest and strongest in the market for select models. The manway lid is self-venting, with a venting capacity equivalent to a 80mm pipe. The tanks also have multiple plumb points for flexible installation. They are made of premium grade plastic, UV stabilised and built to AS/NZS 4766 standards. Additionally, tanks 10,000L and above come with a reassuring 20-year warranty. While there are many shared features, there are a few key differences between the two types of tanks.

The ENDURO advantage

The premium ENDURO tanks boast corrugated sidewalls, a design choice that significantly enhances their strength. This feature was put to the test during the Kaikoura earthquake, where ENDURO tanks emerged unscathed amidst widespread destruction. The corrugated design distributes stress more evenly, allowing the tanks to withstand severe shaking. Moreover, the ENDURO tanks offer versatility. They can be partially buried up to 1 metre while maintaining their 20-year warranty, this makes them a great option for those who want to keep their tanks out of sight or who need to lower the tank to achieve fall in the downpipes. A thoughtful design element is the flat spot on the sidewall, positioned 1 metre from the base and below the manway, ensuring easy access to pipework even when the tank is inset.

The XPRESS solution

On the other hand, the XPRESS tanks present a budget-friendly alternative without compromising on quality. While they lack the corrugated sidewalls and cannot be buried, XPRESS tanks still uphold Promax’s commitment to structural integrity. Available in two colours, these tanks feature a simple, streamlined design that meets standard strength levels.

Making the right choice

Choosing between ENDURO and XPRESS tanks depends on individual requirements and budget constraints. For those in need of a robust, potentially buried tank, the ENDURO is the ideal choice. If budget considerations are paramount and burial is not required, the XPRESS offers a reliable solution. Promax is dedicated to assisting customers in selecting the perfect tank for their needs. With a legacy of quality and innovation, Promax continues to be a trusted name in water storage solutions.
