The department of water health and safety recommends to have your rain water tanks professionally cleaned at least once every 2 years.

Common symptoms of a dirty tank often include foul taste/ odour, water discolouration, blocked filters and premature pump failure. Note these symptoms are generally non existent with regular cleans at least once every two years.

Ensure your tank inlet is properly sealed with adequate protection against insect and animal intrusion. Remember your roof is your catchment area so ensure it’s kept clean. Gutters should be free from dirt and leaves to avoid unnecessary organic materials entering the tank as this can increase the growth of anaerobic bacteria.

Some cases may require a plastic liner to repair a leaking tank though restoring the structural integrity of the tank itself is always the superior option for longevity and is generally cheaper than installing expensive liners.

Clear Water has created a proven repair technique using a non-toxic silica based product that migrates through the capillary tracts and voids in the aggregate – it’s a dynamic product that is activated by minor movement and moisture and will migrate up to 2mls to combat expansion. The product behaves in a similar way to how limescale builds up and forms its own seal. We then install our unique high tensile 12ml steel bands or staples to control and limit future movement.

For example, a 10k Gallon tank at a 3-metre head height will exert around 17 kilo newtons of pressure. Our bands have been specifically engineered and triangulated for maximum purchase, holding up to 24kn of pressure providing a 30 percent increase in weight loading capacity.

With over 20 years’ experience in tank cleaning and repairs we have seen it all so there no job to big or small.
