Let’s dive into how pillow tanks, particularly the Aqua-Barrier® Pillow Tank, are revolutionizing the way we think about water storage.
What Are Pillow Tanks?
Pillow tanks, also known as bladder tanks or collapsible tanks, are flexible containers designed to store large volumes of water or other liquids. Made from durable, high-strength materials, these tanks are engineered to withstand harsh conditions, making them ideal for a wide range of applications—from emergency water storage to agricultural irrigation and industrial uses.

- Space Efficiency: Pillow tanks take up less space when not in use and can be stored conveniently. Their ability to conform to different spaces also makes them highly versatile in various environments.
- Cost-Effectiveness: With lower transportation and installation costs compared to traditional tanks, pillow tanks offer an economical solution for water storage. Additionally, their longevity and low maintenance needs contribute to long-term savings.
- Environmental Friendliness: Made from eco-friendly materials, pillow tanks can be used in environmentally sensitive areas without causing harm. Their reusability also aligns with sustainable practices, reducing waste overall.
- High Capacity: Despite their flexible nature, pillow tanks can hold significant volumes of water, making them suitable for large-scale operations, whether in agriculture, disaster relief, or industrial applications. HSI Services, Inc. offers tanks with capacities ranging from 25 gallons to 250,000 gallons!
