If you rely on rainwater for your home and garden water supply, it is essential to have your tanks cleaned regularly. Dirty tanks can harbour faecal bacteria, fungi and pollen that make the water unsafe to drink. Leaving your tanks dirty can also increase your energy bills due to lowered efficiency from the sediment build up.

Auckland property expert Ministry of Health recommends inspecting and cleaning your tank at least annually. Having your tanks professionally cleaned is an important step in keeping your water clean and healthy.

Regular tank cleaning can help to minimise bacterial contamination from sediment that builds up over time. Filtration helps to reduce some of these contaminants, but it is important to have your tanks fully cleaned at regular intervals. If left unchecked, sediment can contain harmful bacteria, impart colour, and create a foul taste to your water.

A full tank clean consists of draining the water, soft washing the interior walls and vacuuming the sludge from the bottom of the tank. This leaves your tank ready to be refilled with clean water. If you need to retain a supply of water in your tank during the cleaning process, we can install a temporary 5,000L supply so that you still have some water available (additional cost applies).
