Must I clean the interior of my grey water recycling unit
Can You Afford Not To Recycle Your Grey Water
Mini model for the smaller garden irrigated with grey water
How often should I clean the Grey Water System filter
This depends largely on use i.e. the number of occupants in the household and the number of showers / baths that each occupant has during the day. As with any filter, regular maintenance will ensure many years of service. Check your filter weekly to determine your unique requirements.
Background
It is not normally nessesary to clean the interior of any of the Garden ResQ grey water recycling systems - the Mini or Maxi. However should it be required, you can clean the interior with a cloth and vinegar. This will effectively remove soap scum from the unit's interior walls. If required, a very small amount of bleach or VINEGAR may be used to help sterilize the unit and keep it in pristine condition. It is also a good idea to flush the system with fresh water every few months. This will get rid of any sludge which may have settled on the bottom of the unit
