Rural and Farm Water Tank Cleaning Across Tamworth and Surrounding Areas

At Sweetwater Tank Cleaning, we specialise in professional cleaning for rural and commercial water tanks across Tamworth, Moree, Glen Innes, Walcha, Muswellbrook, and Coonamble. Based in Duri, NSW, our family-owned business has been helping farmers, rural property owners, and local businesses maintain clean and reliable water supplies for over 20 years. We provide thorough cleaning and testing services for all types of rural tanks, using a unique process that minimises water loss.

 

Clean water is essential for rural living, whether it is for livestock, crops, or general property use. Over time, tanks can collect silt, algae, minerals, and organic matter that affect both water quality and system efficiency. Sweetwater Tank Cleaning ensures your rural water systems operate at their best, delivering clear and healthy water where it is needed most.

Professional Cleaning for Large Rural and Commercial Tanks

Our team can clean and maintain rural water tanks of any size, including tanks up to 1.5 megalitres (ML) in capacity. Using advanced vacuum technology, we remove sludge and sediment from the base of the tank without the need to drain it completely. This process saves time, conserves water, and reduces downtime for your property or business operations. We service all tank types, including concrete, poly, steel, fibreglass, Aquaplate, and slimline tanks.

 

Our cleaning method ensures minimal water waste and protects the integrity of your tank. Whether you use your tank for irrigation, livestock, or commercial applications, our professional cleaning service will help maintain your water quality and extend the lifespan of your tank.

Bore Water Tank Cleaning and Maintenance

Bore water is a vital resource for many rural and agricultural properties. However, the natural minerals and sediments in bore water can gradually accumulate inside your tanks, leading to reduced flow and water quality issues. Regular cleaning helps prevent mineral build-up and bacterial growth, protecting your tank and connected systems.


At Sweetwater Tank Cleaning, we can also test your bore water to assess its composition and overall quality. By monitoring the parts per million (PPM) of minerals and other elements, we help ensure your water remains safe and suitable for its intended use. Routine cleaning and testing help extend the life of your water infrastructure and maintain optimal performance.

Stock Water Tank Cleaning for Farms and Livestock

Clean stock water is essential for healthy livestock. Over time, stock tanks can accumulate mud, algae and waste, which can compromise the quality of drinking water. Poor-quality water can affect animal health and reduce productivity.

 

Our stock water tank cleaning service ensures your livestock have constant access to clean, safe water. Using our low-waste cleaning method, we remove contaminants while retaining most of the stored water. This efficient approach helps maintain your farm’s water systems with minimal disruption.

Water Testing Services for Rural Properties

In addition to tank cleaning, Sweetwater Tank Cleaning provides professional water testing for rural and agricultural clients. Testing your tank water helps identify potential issues early, such as high mineral content, bacterial growth, or contamination.

 

We can collect water samples and submit them to your local council for assessment. You will receive a detailed parts per million (PPM) report that outlines your water’s composition and identifies any concerns. This information is especially valuable for properties using bore water, as it helps prevent future system damage caused by mineral or sediment accumulation.

Rural Tank Cleaning FAQs

  • How often should rural water tanks be cleaned?

    For most rural properties, we recommend cleaning your tanks every two to three years. However, tanks that hold bore or stock water may require more frequent cleaning due to sediment and organic build-up.

  • Can you clean large tanks on farms or commercial sites?

    Yes. We can clean tanks up to 1.5 megalitres in capacity using specialised equipment designed for large rural and industrial water storage systems.

  • Will cleaning affect my water supply

    Our low-waste cleaning method allows us to clean tanks without completely draining them. This means minimal water loss—usually around five to ten percent—and no major interruptions to your supply.

  • Do you provide water testing?

    Yes. We can test your water and send samples to the council for professional analysis. You will receive a PPM report that helps monitor water quality and identify potential issues.
