Water Tank Covers
Our high-performance water tank covers reduce evaporation and improve overall water quality. The tank lids limit algae growth and prevent dirt and debris from entering the tank.
Overview
Water storage tanks can be susceptible to algae growth because of exposure to sunlight. However, our water tank covers are designed to prevent this, greatly improving overall water quality.
The benefits
Water tank covers also prevent dirt and debris from entering your tank. Unwanted debris can cause several problems in a water storage system, such as clogging outlet pipes and reducing water quality.
Our water tank covers also reduce the loss of water through evaporation, a significant problem in the summer months when water is needed the most! While our tank covers reduce evaporation, the material is constructed to allow water, such as rainfall, to pass through it and into the tank.
With the ever-increasing demand for reliable water supply, our tank covers make sound commercial and environmental sense. For more information or to request a quote, please contact us today.

Design & Construction
We manufacture all our tank covers to the highest standards in our own factory. Each cover is made to order, ensuring that they meet your exact requirements for size and design type. Depending on the size of your tank, the cover will be constructed to be used with a central pole support, or to be simply tensioned over the tank.
Cover Features
All tank covers are constructed to include:
- An access flap for an inlet pipe and ball valve
- Eyelets on the cover circumference for securing the cover to the tank
- Where required we can also supply ladder buckle straps to secure the cover, using the eyelets, to the tank.
Supported Tank Covers
If the tank to be covered has a diameter of more than 18′, a central pole is required to support the cover and remove excessive sagging.
When using a centre pole for support, the cover is supplied with a base plate on which the pole sits, and a top plate that fits on the top of the pole. The pole is then secured in place by connecting guide ropes from the top plate to the wall of the tank. Once the pole has been secured in place, the cover can be installed quickly and easily over the suspended ropes. For increased durability, the cover has been reinforced in the centre where it is in contact with the top plate.
Anti-Algae Tank Covers
The Anti-Algae Covers are made to suit the following diameters:
| 9 feet = 2.74m | 30 feet = 9.14m |
| 12 feet = 3.66m | 33 feet = 10.06m |
| 15 feet = 4.57m | 36 feet = 10.97m |
| 18 feet = 5.49m | 39 feet = 11.89m |
| 21 feet = 6.40m | 42 feet = 12.80m |
| 24 feet = 7.32m | 45 feet = 13.72m |
| 27 feet = 8.23m | 48 feet = 14.63m |
These also include a Ball Valve Cover and Pole Cap Cover, and the covers are supplied with eyelets around the reinforced skirt hem.
However, if you require something more specific to your tank then we can also manufacture covers to suit, with the option of additional ‘Drain Ports’ if required as well. For this, we would need a customer-supplied drawing to ensure we get this right. For more information, contact us today.
