Catchment Cleaning Service - DaVinci - 08-31-2021
Any recommendations?

I'm sure there are better ways, but I've been cleaning my tank with a swimming pool hose and a vacuum head. After brushing down the sides, I let everything settle to the bottom before siphoning water through the hose, creating a vacuum. I bought the hose, extendable pole and brush at Walmart and the vacuum head on Amazon. Seems to work pretty good!

I've also been doing mine, a 5' high 20k gal tank, myself for 8 years now.
A 20' extension pole, a swimming pool vacuum head, a 1-1/2" siphon hose, and a 6'step ladder.
Size your items to suite your tank.
I would vacuum it for less than an hour each year.
Then, I put in screens to stop leaves and such from being washed into the tank.
Haven't had to vacuum it for 3 years now and it stays pretty clean.
Doesn't really need it yet, may do it next year.
It isn't all that hard to do.
Just pick a nice calm sunny day.
I'm in my late 70's and still do it myself.
