Winterising Your Effluent Tanks, Sinks, Pipes and Portable Toilets: A Complete Guide
Prepare your sanitation systems for winter with water steriliser, and HD2 Recic solutions, ensuring hygiene, longevity, and a hassle-free next season.
As winter sets in, and your toilets, showers and other sanitation products are being stored away ready for next season, ensuring that your waste and tanks, pipework, sinks and portable toilets are cleaned and ready well in advance for next season is essential.
Maintaining upkeep can make your systems last longer and early maintenance can save you a lot of trouble before the new season starts. Here’s how Water Steriliser and HD2 Recirc solution can help keep your products functional and hygienic through the winter months.
Why Winterising Is Important
- Maintain Hygiene
Reduced use in the winter doesn't mean reduced hygiene requirements. Ensuring your systems stay clean and fresh is critical for health and safety compliance. - Extend Equipment Lifespan
Protecting your equipment during the off-season helps to preserve its functionality and longevity, saving money in the long run. Demand is generally lower during the winter months, so using manpower wisely during quieter periods is cost-effective.
Steps to Winterise Your Equipment
1. Drain and Inspect
- Begin by thoroughly emptying effluent tanks, pipework, portable toilets and sinks etc. and remove any residual water and waste.
- Inspect all components for wear, cracks, or damage and address any issues before storage.
2. Clean and Disinfect
- Use a water steriliser to clean water-holding tanks, sinks and pipework. This will kill bacteria and remove any lingering waste residues, ensuring that your product is hygienically prepared for storage or continued use during winter.
3. Add D2 Recirc Solution
- HD2 Recirc solution is a highly effective product for portable toilets and effluent tanks. It can be used in low concentration during normal operation to help reduce odours; breaks down bacteria and keeps systems fresher for longer. During yearly maintenance use in higher concentrations to reduce bacteria in those hard to reach areas, remove residues and sanitise ready for next season

4. Seal and Secure
- Once cleaned and treated, seal tanks and secure any openings to prevent debris or pests from entering.
