Grey Water Tank Cleaning
Domestic grey water tanks should be cleaned every 12 months to prevent sludge buildup and potential blockages.
Grey water may contain traces of dirt, food, grease, hair, and certain household cleaning products. While grey water may look “dirty,” it is a safe and even beneficial source of irrigation water in a yard. If released into rivers, lakes, or estuaries, the nutrients in grey water become pollutants, but to plants, they are valuable fertilizer. Use grey water to water grass, ornamental plants or fruit trees. Grey water can be used directly on vegetables as long as it doesn't touch edible parts of the plants.
Signs that Cleaning is Needed:
Foul Odours: Detergents and food waste can contribute to bacteria growth, leading to unpleasant smells.
Slow Draining Sinks or Showers: Sludge buildup can impede water flow.
Importance of Regular Cleaning:
Prevents Sludge Buildup: Regular cleaning prevents a thick layer of sludge from forming on the bottom of the tank, which can damage pumps and cause blockages.
Maintains Proper System Function: Clean tanks ensure efficient water flow and prevent backups.
Eliminates Foul Odours: Regular cleaning helps prevent unpleasant smells from developing.
