Dust, leaves, grime and animal and bird droppings
run off your roof and into your tank every time it rains.
(This picture shows the discharge from a household
drinking water tank).
Sediment in your tank can affect water pressure by blocking the filters in your appliances - these blockages mean the pump has to work harder - increasing electricity consumption and putting unnecessary strain on your equipment.
The Ministry of Health recommends having your water tank inspected once a year.
The Ministry also recommends having your tank cleaned by experienced contractors. (Cleaning your own tank can be messy, time-consuming and dangerous).
Aquavac uses specialised equipment to remove sediment and rid your tank of harmful bacteria.
