I have a cistern that has sat unused since we got city water out here in the sticks......and I don't miss using it one bit! I don't know how many gallons it holds....it's 8x8x36.
I poured Clorox in mine ever so often....it's amazing how fast that chlorine assimilates through the water......I poured it in one end and the pump was in the other end....you didn't have to use much water before tasting the chlorine.
I think you got more than leaves in your cistern. I found all sorts of critters in mine and I took precautions to prevent it.....but some still find a way to get in. Japanese beetles would get washed down the downspouts and manage to get past the screens and I found a dead mouse floating one time....how he got in....I'll never know. Yep....that's enough to make you want to puke..but when you have a water hole...things are going to drown in it. When the lid was removed....the water always looked crystal clear and never had an odor to it. I'd be finding out what is making it stink.
