Tips for keep your drinking water clean
Your roof catchment system is your main source for clean drinking water. To maintain your home drinking water quality:
- Keep your roof clean and painted;
- Before cleaning, block the drain pipes so that nothing enters the tank;
- Check your tank levels regularly, at least once a month;
- Clean your tank at least once every five years;
- Trim overhanging trees to prevent leaves from falling onto your roof and entering your tank;
- Disinfect water using 1/4 cup of household bleach to every 1000 gallons of water. To determine the capacity of your tank, in gallons, multiply the tank length x tank width x tank depth x 6.25; and
- When purchasing water, remember only buy enough to take your tank to about half, always leave enough space for rainwater collection
