Catchment Tank Cleaning Frequency: A Comprehensive Guide

How Often Should My Catchment Tank Be Cleaned?

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How often should my catchment tank be cleaned?” – you’re not alone. It’s a great question and one we hear all the time. The answer depends on a couple of key factors, so let’s break it down for you.

The Two Answers

1. Check for Sediment Visibility
A general rule of thumb is to clean your tank when you can no longer see at least 50% of the bottom due to sediment buildup. Sediment doesn’t just make your water look unappealing; it can harbor harmful bacteria, algae, and other contaminants that compromise your water quality.

2. Annual Cleaning – Like a Dentist Visit
Even if your tank looks clean, we recommend scheduling a professional cleaning once a year. Think of it like going to the dentist for a routine check-up. An annual cleaning provides a full refresh of your water, disinfecting it from any bacteria, viruses, or other potential issues that may be festering unseen. This proactive maintenance ensures your water stays safe, clean, and healthy.

Why Regular Cleaning Matters

Over time, sediment, algae, and other debris can accumulate in your catchment tank. If left unchecked, these can lead to:

• Poor water quality: Sediment and contaminants can make your water unsafe to use.
• System inefficiency: Buildup can clog filters and reduce the efficiency of your system.
• Potential health risks: Bacteria and viruses thrive in unclean tanks, posing risks to your household.
  
  By staying on top of regular cleaning, you not only maintain the integrity of your water but also extend the lifespan of your catchment system.
