How to Know When Your Water Tank Needs Cleaning
Dirty overhead and underground water tanks can collect sediment, algae and other contaminants over time. If your water smells unusual, tastes strange, looks cloudy, or has visible slime or dirt, it is time to inspect the tank. Clean household tanks regularly, especially where borehole water is used or during the rainy season. Drain the tank, remove sediment, scrub the interior with appropriate cleaning materials, rinse thoroughly and refill with clean water. Do not enter a tank unless it is safe to do so; use a trained cleaner where necessary. Check for cracks, leaks and rust, and consider using a sediment filter to reduce buildup. Regular maintenance can help protect your household water supply.
