Water tanks are essential for storage, but without proper care they can become breeding grounds for bacteria and algae. Here is how to keep your stored water safe.
Tanks should be drained and scrubbed at least once every six months. This removes the sediment build-up and biofilm that quietly affect water quality over time.
Make sure your tank lid is tight-fitting and secure. A good seal keeps out dust, debris, insects, and small animals that would otherwise reach the water supply.
Plastic and concrete tanks can develop micro-cracks over time. Inspect the exterior regularly, as small leaks can compromise the structural integrity of the tank.
Where water stays in the tank for long periods, consider periodic dosing with safe chlorination tablets. Refoveo offers approved treatment solutions for stored water.
A simple twice-yearly clean and a sealed lid are the two changes that do the most to keep household water clear, fresh, and safe.
