How Removing Proteins, Fatty Acids & Odors Keeps Your Tank Fresh
Compounds Neutralized:
- Proteins (from leaf litter, insects, bird droppings)
- Fatty acids (from environmental runoff)
- Amines (from decaying plant material)
- Sulfur compounds (from decomposing natural material)
What Happens If Not Neutralized:
These compounds create slime, slimy film, and unpleasant odors, leading to rapid tank fouling.
Product Benefits:
By neutralizing and breaking down these compounds, Cistern & Catchment Bomb™:
- Reduces odor and slimy buildup in tanks and pipes
- Prolongs intervals between deep cleaning
- Helps keep the tank interior fresher smelling
For Roofs and Gutters
Using the Cistern & Catchment Bomb is effortless. Dilute the cleaner as directed on the package and apply it to roofs and gutters to remove contaminant buildup. Use a divertor so the contaminants do not go into your water tank.
Optimized Deep Cleaning
Most of the time, scoop it in and let it work, that is all a well-kept tank needs. But if your tank has been standing unused, or you are dealing with heavy buildup after a long season, finish the job properly: once the tank is clear, drain and refill with fresh water. Ready to use.
