Keeping your water tank clean is essential for health, water quality, and system efficiency. Over time, sediment, algae, bacteria, and rust can build up—making your water unsafe to use. Below are the most common signs that it’s time to clean your water tank:
1. Unpleasant Odor from Water
If your water smells musty, metallic, or like rotten eggs, it's a clear sign of bacterial contamination.
2. Discolored or Cloudy Water
Brown, yellow, or murky water usually indicates rust, dirt, or algae buildup.
3. Visible Sediment at the Bottom
If you can see sand, silt, or particles collecting at the bottom, it’s time for a deep clean.
4. Algae or Mold Around Tank Openings
Greenish or black spots near the tank lid or pipe areas show fungal or algal growth.
5. Reduced Water Flow or Blocked Pipes
A buildup of debris inside the tank may clog pipes and reduce water pressure.
6. It’s Been Over 6–12 Months Since the Last Cleaning
Even if everything seems fine, a tank should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months as routine maintenance.
✅ Pro Tip:
Use a professional water tank cleaning service or follow proper disinfection steps using chlorine or approved cleaning agents.
