KEEP YOUR WATER TANK CLEAN – IT STARTS WITH YOUR GUTTERS!
If your home relies on rainwater, keeping your gutters, downpipes and water tanks properly maintained is important for keeping your stored water as clean as possible.
KEEP PLANTS & TREES AWAY FROM YOUR TANK AND GUTTERS
Overgrown trees and plants can drop leaves, flowers, bark and other organic material into your gutters. When it rains, all of this can wash straight into your water tank.
WHAT CAN GET INTO YOUR WATER?
If your gutters and tank aren't maintained, your rainwater system can collect:
• Leaves, sticks and bark
• Bird droppings and nesting material
• Insects and other small animals
• Dirt, dust and sediment
• Organic matter from trees and plants
• Roof debris and other contaminants
Over time, this can build up in your tank and affect the appearance, smell and quality of your stored water.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE IS IMPORTANT
Keeping your gutters and downpipes clear, trimming back vegetation, checking your tank inlet and screens, and regularly maintaining your water tank can all help keep your rainwater collection system in better condition.
💧 CONSIDER A WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
If you're using tank water for drinking, cooking, showering and washing, a suitable filtration system can be a great way to provide an additional level of treatment for your household water.
There are different filtration options available depending on your water source, tank setup and what you're using the water for.
