Don't Be a Drain, Catch The Rain

Pioneer Tanks vs. Competitors: Why Quality Matters for Hawaii Catchment Systems

The Hawaii Water Storage Challenge

Water storage in Hawaii presents unique challenges not found in many other environments. The combination of salty air, intense UV exposure, frequent rain, and occasional long dry periods creates a demanding environment that tests even the best water storage solutions. At Pacific Blue Catchment, we’ve evaluated numerous tank options over our years of service, and we consistently recommend Pioneer Water Tanks for their superior performance in Hawaii’s climate.

Pioneer vs soft cover tanks

Economic Value: The True Cost of Water Storage

While the initial investment in a Pioneer tank may be higher than soft cover alternatives, the long-term value is unmatched:

  • Extended Lifespan: A properly maintained Pioneer tank will last 2-4 times longer than a galvanized tank alternative.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: Fewer components to replace translates to savings over time.
  • Higher Resale Value: Pioneer tanks maintain their value, increasing property value for resale.
  • Lower Water Treatment Costs: Better protection means less need for intensive treatment of stored water and less cleaning costs. 
  • Capacity Value: The cost per gallon decreases dramatically with larger Pioneer tanks, making them more economical for serious water storage needs. Pioneer tanks are far cheaper per gallon than plastic tanks. 

Customer Experiences: Real Hawaii Success Stories

Our customers consistently report higher satisfaction with Pioneer tanks compared to previous plastic tank experiences:

“After replacing my third plastic tank in 12 years, I invested in a Pioneer tank from Pacific Blue. It’s been 10 years and it still looks brand new. Best decision I ever made for my water system.” – K. Nakamura, Waimea

“The difference in water quality between my old plastic tank and my new Pioneer is remarkable. No more algae problems, and the water tastes so much better.” – L. Johnson, Ocean View

I have been with pacific blue since moving into my house 12 yrs ago. I have had three memorable water emergencies that because of Murphy’s Law happened on the weekends or Friday. Corey/his crew were there every time I needed them. Always called back within an hour, always able to help.
I had the honor of meeting Jay on my last water situation, and not only did he fix the problem, he improved my set up and showed me step by step how to fix the problem myself if I was inclined to do so. Great company, great people.
Thanks you guys

Cory of Pacific Blue Catchment has always provided me with outstanding customer service. Yesterday (Christmas Day) we had no water! Cory came first thing next morning and replaced the pump! He stands behind his service and products! I highly recommend his service!
Mahalo, Cory!

Corey and his team had excellent customer service, knowledgeable recommendations, & provided a quality product and smooth installation. Price per gal was worth the quality Pioneer Tank system.

They provided a one stop package. Other vendors offered a tank but not install. They arranged for water delivery, delivered and installed the tank and roof. As on option, they also provided a hydrant hook up for water delivery haulers. Very pleased with the finished product.
