Tips To Keep Your Water Storage Tank Algae-Free

Water is such a thing that human beings cannot live without. Hence, storing drinking water safely in a water storage tank is equally important, and therefore the cleanliness should not be neglected. If you have installed a plastic water storage tank for domestic or commercial purposes, you must pay enough attention to its cleanliness. Because, if a water tank is kept ignored or neglected, the growth of algae can be seen inside the tank itself. Hence, here, in this blog, we are going to give you some pro tips by following which you can easily control the growth of algae inside your water tank. 

• Go for chemical treatment- 

You can combat the growth of algae by opting for chemical treatments for your water tank. The proper amount of bleach or chlorine can abolish the formation of algae from its root. But, the proportion of water and chemical should be in the right amount, or else, the water will not be safe for drinking. 

• Paint the tank-

 Opaque or non-transparent water tanks are able to block the sunlight. And, if the sunlight itself cannot enter the tank, how can the growth of algae be possible? Hence, choose dark-colored water tanks or paint your water tank with some dark colors like jet black, or dark blue, etc. Dark colors indeed help to prevent the formation of algae inside the water tanks. 

• A regular maintenance of the water tank- 

You must be up-to-date about the current situation of your plastic water storage tank. A regular checkup or maintenance can notify you exactly when your water storage tank requires a clean-up and accordingly you can start the cleaning process before the situation of the tank gets worst and out of your hands. Hence, do keep your eyes on your domestic or commercial water storage tank and prevent the growth of algae inside it. Just do a quick test for checking these aspects:

 Witness the position of the tank in the sun.

 Open up the lid of the water tank just to see whether the sunlight is entering or not. 

Apart from these, you must select a premium quality water storage tank for you. Note that your water tank must be manufactured with high-quality food-grade plastic material so that it can keep the water fresh, pure, and drinkable for a longer period of time.
