and in five years never saw 1cm of slugg in my tanks and om unsealed
roads. But I suppose if your not used to it and you dont know, you will
buy whatever the salesman will tells you.

Well, from reading your replies at times it does appears that you are arguing or at least being a little condescending! Terms like “city slicker” and “crap” hint at this. What’s more, I did my research on line, observed local installations and purchased the parts based on this – no salesperson “selling” me stuff.
Organic debris in the form of bark and leaves from 3 large gum trees often blankets our neighbour’s roof and chokes his gutters. I suspect the sludge comes from these just breaking down into small particles and washing into the tank?
The grey sludge in the waste reservoir of our 1st flush diverter I put down to general pollution from living in a large city – it smells too, when we release the waste valve.
We don’t drink the water; it gets used for watering pots, washing the car, windows, etc. Brisbane seems to be a dirty city in terms of air borne pollutants? When we visit either the Sunshine or Gold Coasts, the sea borne air is just so incredibly fresh by comparison.
You’re lucky to have relatively clean air to breathe. I once saw a medical program where a Sydney surgeon was operating on a country woman and he was astonished at how clean her lungs were. He indicated that all the city lungs that he had seen were polluted throughout by fine particles.
