When you bury a Guardian Tank, you can be sure of its ongoing performance. Guardian’s corrosion-proof unibody construction provides the watertight solution to your underground liquid handling and storage problems. No site Assembly required. Guardian fiberglass tanks will outperform concrete in all soil conditions, and can be designed to handle more overburden than similar sized polyethylene tanks.

Guardian Tanks range in size from 720 Imp. Gal. (3360) to 12,500 Imp. Gal. (56,285), are CSA certified, conform with the latest provincial regulations in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and are suitable for all residential, cottage, and commercial applications.

Shallow Burial

Shallow Burial Tanks are designed to be buried with the top of the tank not more than 2’ (610) below the ground level, and may also be used above ground. A collar and childproof lid are supplied with each tank.

Deep Burial

Deep Burial Tanks are intended for burial with the top of the tank below the frost line, but not more than 7’ (2135) below the ground level. A collar and childproof lid are supplied and manhole sleeves are available for extension to the desired depth.

Extra Deep Burial

Specially reinforced Guardian Tanks are available by custom order for burial up to the 10’ (3050) depth.

Protect yourself from the consequences of a collapsed, eroded, or leaking tank buried deep below the surface. Buy a Guardian.

The Smart Choice in Tanks.

Guardian septic and sewage holding tanks provide environmentally correct sewage containment and processing to suit a wide variety of site condition. Guardian offers every style: holding, pump-out, trickle and siphon as well as guaranteed pure, one-piece water tanks. For security and peace of mind, Guardian is the only choice.

Cylindrical Tanks

Horizontal, cylindrical tanks are available for shallow and deep burial installations.

Spherical Tanks

High-strength, spherical tanks are ideal for Manitoba locations demanding superior performance at all depths and are available in all styles. 24” (610) or 30” (762) diameter manhole sleeves available.

Low-Profile Tanks

Low-profile tanks are designed especially for installations where space is at a premium, and can be used under a dwelling (upon regulatory approval), above ground or where shallow burial is possible, While all guardian products earn their stripes under actual field condition, the rugged LPT series tanks have been extensively tested in remote northern locations, meeting the challenge of shallow burial where other manufacturers’ tanks have failed.


Holding Tanks

Guardian Holding Tanks are typically single chamber tanks, without outlets. Accumulated sewage must be pumped out and transported elsewhere for disposal, Holding Tanks lend themselves to application where a filed is unsuitable, such as environmentally sensitive cottage developments, or when soil condition do not permit dispersion of effluent, Holding Tanks feature childproof lids with convenient suction pump-out fitting,. Available for above ground, shallow burial, or deep burial use in sizes ranging from 740-2000 Imp. Gal. (3360-9090).



Pump-Out Tanks

Guardian Pump-Out Tanks have two internal chambers, separated by a molded leak proof divider. Effluent is discharged to a septic field or ejector in regulated amounts by a submersible or remotely situated sewage pump. Typically, a floating control switch controls the pump-out of effluent,. Available for shallow and deep-burial use, with nominal capacities of 740-2000 Imp. Gal. (3360-9090).



Trickle Tanks

Energy-efficient Guardian Trickle Tanks incorporate the principles of displacement and gravity flow, discharging effluent to the field in equal volume to sewage entering the tank. Therefore these tanks do not require sewage pumps,. Shallow burial models are standard, Deep burial tanks are available by arrangement with your Guardian dealer. Capacities range from 740-2000 Imp. Gal. (3360-9090).
*GPTS tanks come complete with a leak proof divider.



Siphon Tanks

Guardian Siphon Tanks are designed for shallow burial application utilizing a two-chamber configuration. A structurally integral, leak proof divider wall separates the two chambers.. The siphon is built-in and operates on a gravity-flow basis, eliminating the need for a sewage pump, and providing even, efficient dispersion throughout the field to prevent freezing. Contact factory for deep burial models. The capacity range is 740-2000 Imp. Gal. (3360-9090).



Water Storage Tanks

Guardian Water Storage Tanks consist of a single large chamber. Models range in capacity from 1000-2000 Imp. Gal. (4545-9090). Water Storage Tanks are available for aboveground use, shallow burial up to 2’ (610mm), and deep burial up to 7’ (2135mm) below grade.


We Back What We Build

A warranty is only as good as the company behind it.
As the largest manufacturere of underground sewage tanks in western Canada, Equinox has the resources, expertise, and dedication to protect its customers and the environment from poorly manufactured, defective tanks.

The Guardian Guarantees

Guardian tanks are fully warrantied against defects in materials and workmanship and will perform according to our specification, provided that installation is proved to be satisfactory and in accordance with the guideline stipulated by Equinox Industries Ltd. For a full statement of warranty, contact Equinox Industries.

Protect Your Investment

The price of a tank is only part of the total cost of a septic or sewage system, Excavation, installation, hook-up, backfill and landscaping are all major costs. At Equinox, experience has shown that tank strength and quality determine the life expectancy and proper performance of your system. That's why our product design and performance criteria are typically up to three times greater than the minimum standards set by CSA. Each new design is physically load-tested to ensure maximum performance under the worst conditions before we affix the CSA certification to that product.

That's why, at Equinox, we stress the critical importance of proper installation, Even the strongest tank cannot withstand the dynamic subterranean forces of nature if it is bedded in loose sand, or backfill, or ladened with water-logged clay or rubble over burden, To derive benefit from the Guardian Guarantee, insist that your installer specifies and/or uses 3/8" (10.0) dia. pea gravel, or equivalent, bedding and backfill material. Contact your dealer or Equinox Industries for full installation details.

When you purchase a Guardian Tank, you can bury it and forget it. In the sewage zone, it's the only investment you'll ever have to make.
