Crystal Clear Tanks

We Clean and Repair Rainwater Tanks

It is essential to maintain your water tank to ensure your water is safe to drink. ‘Crystal Clear Tanks’ is your answer to keeping your full or empty tank pristine clean with minimal loss of water. We clean out concrete, poly (plastic), fibreglass and galvanised iron tanks.

We also repair concrete water tanks. We use specialised cement based products for restoration of cracks, seeps and holes that may cause water leakage and loss. Our repair methods eliminate the need for plastic liners, making the process far more cost effective and durable than installing a liner.

‘Crystal Clear Tanks’ offer you prompt and reliable services to the Mid North Coast including Coffs Harbour and the surrounding areas; Grafton, Woolgoolga, Bellingen, Dorrigo, Nambucca and Macksville. Travel to further surrounding areas may be negotiated for repair work. Discounts are available for multiple jobs.

Harmful bacteria levels increase when a build up of debris decompose on the bottom of a tank leading to a thick layer of sediment. This can result in blocked water filters, washing machine filters, etc. This debris and sludge may consist of leaves, plant blossoms, bird droppings, dust, ash, etc from the roof, or dead insects and animals including rats, snakes, toads, etc that enter through the down pipes from the roof, the manhole or the overflow pipe. These nasties can all result in smelly and bad tasting water.

Crystal Clear Tanks can implement the following measures for clean drinking water;

• Installation of overflow pipe flaps to minimise mosquito breading and vermin entering the tank.
• Installation of leaf beaters, which filter leaves and other debris entering through the down pipes from the roof.
• Installation of first flush diverters, which prevent the first runoff of water from entering the tank, as this first runoff often contains debris from the roof.
• Regular water tank cleaning to remove sediments from your watertank

Additionally, you should always ensure gutters are kept clear and free of debris. This may include installing gutter guards and pruning trees near the roof.

The enHealth Council of Australia (associated with federal, state and local government) states, "All tanks should be examined for accumulation of sediments every 2-3 years or if sediment is evident in the water flow." They recommend cleaning and installation of first flush devices to ensure your water is clean, free from bad odours and not discoloured.
