Water tank cleaning — done properly.

No — we use the water in your tank to vacuum-clean it, and we typically need a minimum of about 300mm of water to effectively clean a tank, a really bad tank can require more, especially smaller capacity tanks. Cleaning out an emptied tank with buckets doesn't get the same result, takes considerably longer and is far from enjoyable, leaving sediment and anaerobic bacteria behind. For larger tanks that only need a basic clean, we can drop the level to 1.1m, or wait until it's around there, then enter and carefully vacuum the bottom of the tank while keeping some water behind. Depending on the sediment it can stay cloudy for a day or two while it settles. If it's an organic-matter build-up, though, we do suggest a Drain & Clean and arranging a water carter or refilling from bore water - guaranteed great result.

From $350 within an hour of Albury, with travel quoted upfront beyond that. Final price depends on tank size, condition and access — confirmed before we start. Discounts for multiple tanks in one visit. See if your neighbour has thought about their tank recently.

NSW guidelines suggest every 2–3 years — but ultimately it comes down to your rainwater-harvesting setup and how close you are to trees etc. If you've just moved into a new property, we suggest a Drain & Clean to achieve a 'blank slate' while you get your water storage system sorted.

Concrete, poly and steel tanks, with or without liners, above or underground. we clean them all.

Yes — it helps a lot. Most taste and odour comes from organic matter and anaerobic bacteria; sediment from a dusty road usually imparts very little. If you've got taste, discolouration or odours, we strongly advise a drain and clean and getting fresh water delivered. We also suggest a product called Puretec Tanksafe — hydrogen peroxide based, and to our tastebuds the best-tasting disinfectant going. It breaks down like this: 2 H₂O₂ → 2 H₂O + O₂ (in plain English, it turns into water and oxygen), while a trace of silver keeps the tank protected for a couple of months. Safe to drink when dosed to the directions.

It depends. If there's organic matter, taste, odour or discolouration, we strongly advise a Drain & Clean to remove the existing bacteria rather than carry it forward. If it's just sediment build-up from a nearby dusty road — minor organic matter, no taste, odour or discolouration — then we can often drop the level to around 1.1m, carefully vacuum the tank, and leave enough water for daily use, then organise a water carter or wait for rain depending on the season and your setup. We understand you need water immediately but if you're calling us for a tank clean, organising clean water is the best part.

Within an hour of Albury, yes we can, hes great! Further out, we'd suggest ringing your local rural store — they'll know the best deal in your area better than us.

Most jobs are around one to two hours from arrival, depending on tank size, how much sediment has built up and access. Larger tanks or heavy sludge loads take longer.

Not necessarily, as long as I've got access to the tank and a water source. Plenty of jobs get done while people are at work — we sort the details when you book.

It's pumped out and disposed of appropriately. On farms it's often fine to discharge well away from the tank and any watercourse — we'll discuss what suits your property.

Usually yes. Filtering water from a sludged tank means cartridges load up faster and you're changing them more often than you should. Doing both in one visit also saves a second call-out.

Sometimes. Well-maintained tanks can often be vacuum cleaned with water left in them. If there's a heavy organic layer a drain and clean gives a much better result. I'll advise which suits your tank before the job.
