What Are Water Storage Tanks For?

As the name suggests, water storage tanks, or cisterns, are used to store water for the mains water system. They are often found in commercial buildings, including schools, hospitals, and factories. On busy days when these sites need more water than normal, the extra water in the tanks is there to fill the gap. 

Why Regular Water Tank Cleaning Is Essential 

A water storage tank maintenance plan is vital for water hygiene. Over time, water tanks can develop a build-up of dirt, silt, and other debris. This is particularly common in outdoor water tanks that are exposed to the elements. If this happens, it can lead to contamination of the water supply which can pose a serious health risk.

Without cleaning, it is more likely that Legionella and other bacteria will build up within the system. Your Legionella risk assessment should include a plan for regular professional cleaning if you have a water tank.

In addition to regular cleaning, water tanks also need to be disinfected, which may be achieved with simple water storage tank disinfection tablets.

Our expert team can help with all aspects of water tank maintenance across Yorkshire, including sampling water and cleaning the system as required.

How Often Do Commercial Water Tanks Need Cleaning?

When is it time to contact water tank disinfection companies to ensure your system is up to scratch? There are certain circumstances in which you should always get your tank cleaned and disinfected, including:

• If you have had a water tank refurbishment.
• If your water system has been out of action for some time.
• After any major contamination.
• If your risk assessment says that your tank needs to be cleaned.
• When there are signs of stagnation or other contamination in the system.
• If new components have been added to the tank system.

In addition, it is generally recommended that drinking water tanks are cleaned and disinfected at least every 6 months as part of a water safety plan. This will help to ensure that the water is always safe for use and that you are in line with your building compliance.
