[QUOTE="JohnBoy, post: 8215205, member: 3991"] Plumbed right sediment shouldn't be an issue. Direct the incoming water into a corner so it runs down the walls not splashing in from above. Take your outlet from a few inches up. Unless you're drawing from the tank when it's low and it's just rained really heavily then sediment should settle out. We had an old milk collection tank growing up for rainwater harvesting and after 15 years it had to be moved, I got the job of cleaning it and there was a few inches of sediment, but the pipe exited about a foot up so never a bother with it [/QUOTE]
