Care for your system
Manage standing water
Water that sits still can turn. In wet systems, pipes hold water between rain events, and tanks exposed to light can grow algae. Managing standing water keeps your supply fresh and your system healthy.
Manage standing water
Water that sits still can go stale or grow algae. Keeping it moving and out of the light keeps your stored water fresh between rain events.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
Drain your wet system
Wet systems hold water in underground pipes between rain events. Draining them regularly prevents anaerobic fermentation and sediment building up, and lets your tank breathe.
Stop algae at the source
Algae needs light to grow. A Solar Shield blocks sunlight at the tank inlet, keeping your water clear without chemicals.
Keep water moving
Standing water is more likely to develop quality issues. Using your tank water regularly, and turning it over, helps keep it fresh.
