Odours are the most commonly reported problem. This can be caused by a number of things. One of these is that sediment accumulates in the bottom of water tanks that have not been cleaned frequently enough, when the weather warms up, the growth of microorganisms which produce sulfides give off a distinctive sewage or rotten odour.
YES, with both a COMPLETE CLEAN or VACUUM ONLY service
FULL CLEANIwe require approx 2-3 feet of water
VACUUM ONLYIwe require approx 1/3rd of water
NO, all sediment and contaminants are removed through an efficient vacuum and cleaning process.
All waste water and sludge are discharged on your property up to 30 metres away, great for your garden.
Complete Clean - This process usually requires all of the water and contaminents to be removed. But, If you have multiple water tanks next to each other and the water quality has not been compromised, any water above 1metre depth can be transferred from one tank to the other.

Vacuum Only - Approx 30% of original water is left. The more sediment to remove from your water tank the more water is lost.
Not many things are maintenance free and water tanks are no exception, Australian Health Departments recommend water tanks be regularly checked, and cleaned at least every 2-3 years.
Diverters, strainers and filters will improve water quality and reduce the amount of contaminants entering your water tank. Regular care and maintenance are the key to a clean usable water supply, Australian Health Departments recommend water tanks be cleaned every 2-3 years at minimum to ensure health and safety standards in relation to stored water and its use.
To find out the volume of water your tank holds, apply the following formula:
First measure the diameter then multiply by itself Second measure the height and multiply this by 5, then multiply both your figures eg. Diameter 7ft x 7 = 49 I Height 4ft x 5 = 20 I 49 x 20 = 980 I Tank Size: 980 gallons Convert: Centimetres to Feet I divide by 30.48 Convert: Litres to Gallons I divide by 4.55
