Pioneer has revolutionised water storage by making available an antimicrobial tank liner that will keep your water fresher, cleaner and healthier for longer.
Without an antimicrobial tank liner, microbes, bacteria, and mildew can form on your liner.
Keeping your water tank free from microbes means cleaner, healthier, fresher water for longer with the Pioneer exclusive Aqualiner Fresh® antimicrobial water tank liner.
Aqualiner Fresh® is the only liner in Australia that improves on Australian standards. We met those standards some time ago, but is’ a leap forward to exceed them.
The Sanitized® antimicrobial technology is mixed into the master batch of black polyethylene (PE) film used in the construction of the liner fabric.
The black PE film is one of the three multiple layers found in the liner fabric providing superior strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance and leak resistance of Aqualiner FRESH®.
The treated black PE film is then laminated to the inside surface of the liner fabric – the side that is in direct contact with the tank water.
Antimicrobial technology adds a defence mechanism to a tank liner which helps it fight against the growth of microbes such as bacteria and algae, sometimes referred to as “biofilm”.
As biofilm grows thicker on the walls and floor of the tank liner, it falls to the bottom of your tank and creates a thick sludge on the floor.
Water that is stored in a clean tank is much fresher and cleaner than water that has been stored in a dirty tank over a bed of bacterial and algal sludge.
Like any other textile or fabric that gets dirty and covered in mould, algae and bacteria; the build up of microbes on a tank liner will have an overall detrimental effect on the life of the product.
When you have to clean the tank and liner less because of its antimicrobial nature, you extend the life of the liner and therefore the life of the tank.
Today, in the face of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, silver is re-emerging as an important antimicrobial agent in the field of infection prevention.
The remarkable bacteriostatic effects of silver – a natural element – is a technology with a high level of acceptance.
Neither the Sanitized® product nor Aqualiner Fresh® contain any nano-particles.
Antimicrobial additives are extremely diverse and control microbes via different means.
When used in the manufacture of products, they make surfaces and materials inhospitable to microbes like bacteria and mould.
Materials that incorporate antimicrobial additives will inhibit or kill bacteria, fungi, algae, and other micro-organisms that come in contact with the materials.
The Aqualiner Fresh® has been teste and accredited to all relevant and necessary Australian and International standards for products in contact with drinking water.

A tank with a liner treated with antimicrobial technology requires less frequent cleaning and desludging in order to maintain a healthy tank environment.
This saves you time and money, and improves your water quality.
When sludge levels are high, the sludge can be drawn out of the tank outlet through the tap, outlet or pump, and will present as very unattractive brown particles in your water.
Nobody wants this in their drinking water.
