Importance of Water Tank Cleaning
"SAFE WATER FROM EVERY TAP"
Drinking contaminated water is a major cause of illnesses and keeping the water tank and reservoir clean is an important part of maintaining the water facility of a building. It is necessary to clean and disinfect your water holding tank(s) at least once a year or more often, if required. This is to remove algae produces bad tastes and odors, silt and bacteria which may be harmful.
The chlorine that is waited for a long time in water loses its effectiveness, which creates suitable environment for microorganisms. As a result of the water tanks not being cleaned or disinfected for a long time, the physical, chemical and the biological contaminants result in mudding, shedding, rusting, color, odor and bacteria formation in the water. This situation destroys the potableness and the usability properties of the water. Even if we don't drink the water in the depots, the microbes in the water still enter our body by the washing of fruits and vegetables, using it in the bathroom and the toilette, brushing our teeth and washing of dishes and laundry, resulting in the formation of typhoid, typhus, dysentery, cholera and diseases such as hepatitis in our body. Additionally, the sand and rust particles in water tanks damage our hydrophore, purifier, laundry and dishwashing machines. In the water tanks that are not periodically cleaned, rodents, dead pests, worms, maggots, and plates of mud, rust and fungi form. The only way to avoid this is to disinfestation and cleaning of the water tanks with special chemicals and high pressure machines produced for tanks periodically at least once a year by the trained professionals. Unhealthy water is listed in the sixth place in the reports of "World Health Organization" for the cause of death right after cigarettes and alcohol. When we regard water not just as drinking water but also a means for cleaning, we can see the direct relationship of the cleaning of water tank at everywhere we live with our health.
We all know about the importance of clean water when it comes to drinking it, yet most people forget to check up on their water tanks to make sure they're clean because either they don't know about the benefits of a clean water tank or they don't make it a priority. But the fact is, having a clean tank makes the difference between healthy and drab looking skin and hair. It also helps protect you and your family from various water borne diseases. So it is not just about having clean water to drink or cook with, water that gets on your skin when you shower or in your mouth when you brush your teeth, needs to be equally clean.
Water coming from a dirty tank contains many types of germs that can infect you and your family. To avoid health issues such as dysentery and gastroenteritis, clean water is essential for consumption in your home. When you leave a water tank for a long period of time without cleaning it, it may also become impossible to ever fully clean it again; forcing you to undertake an expensive tank replacement process.
