At least once in our lifetime, there arises a need to install a water storage tank to meet those domestic and commercial needs. The task of installing a tank is actually simple but the challenge lies in its maintenance. After getting a tank installed, it simply sits in one place and does not move or comes in our daily eye contact. Over the years, it is forgotten by most of us. Our water storage tank that sits on the terrace or below the ground of our domestic or commercial property needs regular maintenance. Tank maintenance means water quality inspection. Good quality water is directly proportional to good health. We can call it a set and forget project that may lead to building up sediments settle in the bottom of the tank, growth of algae, and other water contaminants. Therefore, it becomes imperative to maintain our water storage tanks on a regular basis, ideally every 4 or 6 months on a case to case basis.

Here, maintenance of the tank not only refers to cleaning of the tank but also watching out on the below:

Inspect all gutters

The cleaning starts with inspecting all the gutters around the property. Dirty gutters that contain debris and other rubbish build up sludge and sediments.

Check all gaps and openings

With time, the tank might develop some gaps and openings that can disinfect the water in many ways. The water tank, in any case, should be tightly sealed and no light, air or dust should enter the tank. These gaps and openings or any other damage need to be repaired.

Check all outlets and access points

All the outlets and access points should be clean and debris free. Do check the pipes as well for any leakage.

Inspect and access the sediment level

The sediments have a nature to settle at the bottom of the tank. These sediments need to be removed by cleaning the water tank every 4 or 6 months depending upon the quality of a water storage tank.

Set a reminder

The months roll around very quickly, so set a reminder. Repeat the above-mentioned process every six months in case of Penguin Water storage tanks. Our tanks are supposedly the best quality plastic water tanks in India.

It is best to hire a professional to get this job done as they are experts to deliver this job in the best possible way in less time.
