As summer rolls around threatening to be another super hot one, it might be time to invest in a water tank. If you’re wondering where to start looking for the best, it’s hard to go past a recent award-winner.
GreenCoWater of Victoria has just won the GreenSmart Product Award 2014 for their Pak Flat Tank, which was commended by the judges as an ‘innovative and inexpensive Australian product’.
Designed to eliminate the high cost of delivering and installing standard tanks, the Pak Flat Tank is easy to assemble and can be fitted into existing buildings, roof cavities or small areas where a regular tank would be impossible to install.
GreenCoWater is working with a number of Australian-based humanitarian organisations including World Vision, to assist in the provision of water to refugee camps or other campaigns.
