When is the best time to clean a rainwater tank?
Since you probably rely on the water in your rainwater tank, the best time to clean a rainwater tank is when the weather has been very dry, the tank is nearly empty or there are no signs of significant rain coming.
Although a rainwater tank can be cleaned at any stage, if the tank is not already nearly empty, it is best to drain the tank as much as possible before we come to clean it so we do not have to spend extra time on site emptying the tank. If your tank contains contaminated water or too much water to be disposed of on the gardens and lawn, please let us know and we can quote and arrange for the pump out and disposal of the water.
How long will I be without water while my rainwater tank is being cleaned?
Our technicians are able to thoroughly clean the majority of rainwater tanks within an hour. We clean and sanitise the tanks to a high standard to ensure they are ready for holding drinking water again. Then you can either wait until it rains again, or we can arrange to bring one of our water trucks after the service to refill with clean potable water.
