Debunking 3 Catchment Myths

Three Myths About Your Water Tank

Tap any card to see what is actually going on inside your tank

The Process

Scoop, Wait, Drain, Refill

Four steps, and the only tool you need is the scoop in the pouch

Scoop It In

One scoop per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity, straight in through the hatch. The tank stays full.

Let It Work

The HOCL oxidation loosens the buildup off the tank surfaces while you get on with your day.

Drain The Tank

Empty the tank out. The loosened residue and the product both leave with the water.

Refill With Fresh Water

Refill and you are done. No rinse cycle, no second visit, nothing left behind in the tank.

About HOCL

The Chemistry Behind The Clean

HOCL is not premixed and shipped to you. It is made in your tank, the moment the powder hits the water.

HOCL HOCL HOCL TANK WALL
1

Your tank makes it

The powder releases the cleaning chemistry the moment it dissolves. Nothing sits premixed on a shelf losing strength.

2

Oxidation does the scrubbing

HOCL breaks apart the films and residue that build up on tank walls, and neutralizes odors at their source instead of covering them up.

3

Keeps fresh inside the Ziploc foil packet

The powder ships dry and stays stable on the shelf, so the pouch you open next season is as strong as the day it arrived.

What it lifts off your tank walls
  • Proteins
  • Fatty acids
  • Amines
  • Sulfur compounds
  • Odor causing soil
  • No bleach
  • No sharp chlorine odor
  • No jug to store

How Much Does Your Tank Need

Most Big Island catchment tanks run between 10,000 and 30,000 gallons

Questions Catchment Owners Ask

No. It is formulated to be compatible with EPDM, PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene and fiberglass, which covers the liners on almost every catchment tank here. If yours uses something unusual, check with your liner manufacturer first.

One 20 gram scoop per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The chart printed on the back of the pouch runs from 1 scoop for a 1,000 gallon tank up to 25 scoops for a 25,000 gallon tank. The calculator above works it out for you.

No, and you do not climb inside either. You scoop it into the full tank, let it work, then drain and refill.

No, it is bleach-free. It is a sodium-based powder that generates HOCL when it dissolves in water, and the HOCL is what breaks down the residue on the tank walls.

No. The last two steps are to drain the tank and refill it with fresh water, so the loosened residue and the product both leave with the water you drain out.
