Clean your rainwater collection tank ???

[salsitawapa]

No there is not even an odor ... When I looked into the look yes there is surely earth coming from above (that's why I dug so that the earth is lower than the gaze), but it looks like it is not waterproof at the bottom pipes (there are big holes). Anyway, in the other looks I was able to put expansive foam and in this one, Tuesday I will change my manhole covers, and I will take the opportunity to try to seal at the pipes. If I feel in shape I will dig my clay soil (which is very compact and heavy at the moment) and I will put the concrete on the outside otherwise I will try to patch up at best.
Thank you in any case I will keep you informed once I have emptied, cleaned my tank when it will fill if it will be good or not ...
thanks again

how do you want to have clean water: there is no waterproof cover so the water running off the ground falls into it with all the shit on the ground

to use regar in concrete it is necessary to raise them in a well-sealed masonry, largely above ground level and put a cover which completely covers

the concrete manholes are made for sewer and nothing is planned for that

with me it is even more radical the gutter pipes we each have their 300l tub in green polypropylene, and it is small polyethylene pipes as for the water supply which centralizes the water towards a larger tank

the small pipe would not necessarily pass the flow of a heavy rain, but it accumulates in the 300l tank and takes its time to pass through the pipes

Ok thank you for the additional info, I'm glad I came here you found me the cause ... Even if for a year I had clear water, I hope I will see the difference .. We will see on Tuesday it should not rain so I will do everything and clean my tank again ... Thanks again

Here I could not change the cover because they are not the same sizes, so I will buy one ...
Otherwise, I also have a tile problem in my opinion. I put you a photo of gutters tell me what you think and how to fix it ... Thanks again !!!

And the details?
PVC or zinc gutter?
Your tiles seem rotten below.
Is the residue powder from tiles, mold, animacules or is your "zinc" rusting?

In the end, isn't that the "shit that's been polluting your water for years?"

[salsitawapa]

These are PVC gutters. The tiles are already 2 years old, is it normal that they lose particles like this? How to cure it ? Thank you

It does not come from the tiles but from the dust in
air suspension. There are certainly some
soot particles.
Must clean the gutter once or twice a year.
standard maintenance.

Here I put a cast iron visit buffer with concrete sealing + masonry putty to seal everything. With the rest of the concrete, I took the opportunity to put it around the 3 pipes of the gaze.
I also emptied my tank and cleaned it. Tomorrow, I will sweep my gutters to remove the last particles (I didn't have time to do it today). We just have to wait for the next rains to see this works.
Another question, do I have to put a "tight" cover at the level of the inspection window of the tank? I have the extension which is about 3/4 cm above the ground but I have a concrete cover which is placed on it. thanks again

Here are the photos of the look. We can't see the bottom, but I put mortar. My house filter no longer fits in suddenly !!! it was a basket, I am modifying it to redo a filter which would just go on the evacuation towards the tank. I only need a 100mm diameter PVC female sleeve.
Regarding the manhole of the tank, do I have to put a cast iron inspection plug too or does the fact that the extension exceeds this suffice? Thank you

Here is my new pre-filter ... No one has an answer regarding the tank cover ??? Thank you
