In our last blog, we shared some tips on how to keep your household drains clear of blockages. In this month’s blog, we’re going to talk about the benefits of regular water tank cleaning.
If you rely on water tanks for drinking water, showering or washing clothes its important to keep your water tank clean, the Ministry of Health recommends cleaning is carried out at least once a year. While you can clean your tank yourself, it is recommended to get a professional in to do a thorough job.
The Hazards of Neglecting Your Water Tank
Even if you don’t usually use your tank for drinking water, a poorly maintained system can have serious consequences for your household. Over time, small amounts of sediment and other debris collects in your water tank, forming thick sludge that will need to be removed. Along with this sludge, bugs find their way into the tank, as do small animals like rats or possums. Aside from causing a terrible stink, the presence of decomposing carcasses can lead to dangerous contamination. The sooner these problems are dealt with, the better.
While cleaning your water tank, it is also a good idea to carry out a thorough inspection for cracks and other damage. Regular maintenance and inspection mean you can catch small problems like this before they have a chance to take hold and necessitate costly repairs or even replacement.
