In this blog, we will be listing key points while cleaning plastic water tanks. It will ensure that your cleaning is thorough and that you remove all the impurities hygienically.
A Step-By-Step Guide to Cleaning Plastic Water Tanks
1. Remove all the water: Before you start the cleaning, drain out all the water from the tank. You can do this by connecting the outlet with a hose pipe. Make sure that the drained water is collected in a container or if you've got plants or a garden, you let the water be used optimally rather than wasting it. If you collect the water in a tub or container, you can put it back once the cleaning is done.
2. Scrubbing the interiors: The interior walls of the tank may have dust, grime, and algae. Remove all with a high-pressure stream of water. If entering the tank is not possible, an abrasive substance such as baking soda could be used to break down the impurities. Finally, after the walls and surface are freed from contaminants, you can rinse them out of the tank with lukewarm water.
3. Bleaching helps in disinfecting the tank: To disinfect the tank, a bleaching solution is required. But first, it’s important to use proper protection equipment. Our advice is to use gloves and eye-protecting goggles while using the bleaching solution. For around 4 litres of water, a tablespoon of bleach is the right amount. The bleaching solution is rubbed on the interior walls of the tank. For surfaces where one cannot reach them manually, a mop can be used. But it is best to cover the entire area with bleach for complete cleaning.
4. Take a break; you’ve earned it: After applying the bleach to the tank, you should let it do its work. At least two hours are required for the bleach to effectively clean the tank of contaminants and make it usable for potable water.
5. Repeat rinsing: After the break, rinse the tank again. But this time you need to be extra careful, as any visible sign of bubbles means there is still a bit of bleach concentration present in the tank. You may have to rinse a few times before the water becomes free of its soapy presence. It is especially crucial in the case of drinking water. Testing is also advised to make sure that there are no remnants of bleach in the tank.
