It depends on the frequency of use or the type of garments being washed as to how often the tank will need to be emptied out. It can also depend on the size of the spin from your washing machine, high spin speed cycles will remove more during the washing cycle than those with lower spin speeds or if the gentle wash cycles have been used to wash the clothes.
