Rainwater Tank Maintenance

Rainwater System Maintenance & Servicing
The key to an exceptional rainwater system is professional maintenance. It’s important that an expert provides frequent maintenance to sustain and enhance your system’s performance, and keep your rainwater catchment system efficient. This also helps prevent any health or safety hazards in your water quality. Particularly in the event that this system is connected to your bathroom, or kitchen.
At Transform Water, we understand that every tank has different needs. Which is why we take a personalised approach to tank and pump maintenance. Our thorough process makes us the trusted choice Sydney-wide.
Are Rainwater Tanks High Maintenance?
It’s commonly thought that rainwater tanks need LOTS of maintenance. However, this is not the case. Rainwater tanks systems do require some specific care to keep your system running smoothly and prevent any issues. Because they form part of your property’s stormwater system, neglect or lack of care can be a problem in a heavy storm.
Consulting with our team can also help you to ensure that you’re meeting all the requirements for your water tank from the local council or other principal certifying authorities.
Benefits of regular maintenance
Failing to maintain a clean rainwater system can result in a range of hazards. This is because tank water is essential for many activities. Whether this is for drinking water, using it for household chores such as cleaning, or irrigation purposes.
See why rainwater tank maintenance is important:
- No waterborne diseases: The build-up of bacteria can risk the water quality.
- Prevents Blockages: Keeps gutters clear, avoiding floods and property damage.
- Reduces Mosquitoes: Clears water that could breed mosquitoes.
- Saves Money: Avoid costly repairs from lack of maintenance.
How often should I schedule maintenance?
It’s good practice to organise your maintenance before the start of seasons with heavy rain, where your rainwater system will most be put to use. However, this answer also depends on other factors like your environment, type of water tank and system’s needs.
Some councils specify as a condition of occupancy consent of a dwelling or building how frequently a tank system should be serviced or cleaned in line with stormwater system maintenance as well.
We’ll give you recommendations tailored to your tank after an inspection or consultation.

Basic Maintenance Tips
Although professional scheduled maintenance is important, you can also take proactive measures to ensure better, long-lasting performance. Following some simple steps can help improve your systems efficiency:

Inspect gutters:
Inspect for debris or sediment build up every 3 months. Clean accordingly.

Check for Leaks:
Inspect the tank and connections regularly for leaks or cracks.

Water Pump check:
Every 3 months, ensure you flush the pump. This will determine if it’s functioning smoothly.

Inspect Surroundings:
Ensure the area around the tank is free from debris and overgrowth . Which in turn prevents contamination.

Regular Checks:
Make it a routine to check the water level, especially after heavy rain or extended dry periods.

Inspect roofing:
Every 3 months, take a look for any debris or contaminants that can affect your system and remove them accordingly.
