Maintenance Note: To help keep your "Honey Pot System" operating trouble free, it is recommended to clean the tank at least twice a year (perhaps Spring and Fall).

This is done simply by washing down and breaking up the sludge inside of the tank. This can be done with a ordinary garden hose and spray nozzle by spraying and allowing the system to pump the water out until clean.
