What is a Topless Tank?

A Topless Tank is a corrugated stainless steel tank manufactured as an open-top vessel, rather than a conventional enclosed water tank.

What is a Topless Tank?

It’s essentially a corrugated stainless steel water tank – without the top. Where a conventional tank has a roof and lid, a Topless Tank is open, so the water is accessible from above.

There’s no internal vinyl liner. A Topless Tank is the tank itself: a round, corrugated stainless steel vessel.

A water tank without the top

People search for this kind of product in a few different ways: open-cut water tank, open-top water tank, topless water tank, lidless water tank or a water tank without a roof. They all describe the same basic idea.

The difference from an enclosed water tank is simple. An enclosed tank is built to keep things out and the water covered. A Topless Tank is built to be open, for uses where you want direct access to the water or the space.

Agriculture & farming

Open corrugated tanks have a long history on rural properties. A Topless Tank can be used for open water storage and stock water applications.

[INFORMATION REQUIRED: Confirm suitability and any limits for stock water and farm use, including water quality considerations.]

Fish ponds & aquaculture

Use a Topless Tank as a large corrugated pond or vessel for suitable aquatic applications.

[INFORMATION REQUIRED: Confirm suitability for fish ponds and aquaculture, including any material or coating considerations.]

Swimming pools

A Topless Tank can be the structural shell for a tank-style swimming or plunge pool. The standard tank does not include filtration, sanitisation, pool fittings, a liner or other pool equipment.

[INFORMATION REQUIRED: Confirm what, if anything, is supplied for pool use and any installation requirements.]

Landscaping & water features

Residential, commercial and landscape projects: ponds, feature pools and other designed water elements where a durable open vessel suits.

Something completely different?

If your idea doesn’t fit the list above, ask. The product is simple, which is why it can suit applications we haven’t listed.

[INFORMATION REQUIRED: Confirm whether the tank can be modified or have fittings added, and what is possible.]
