Do you have a tightly fitting lid on your water tank?
If you don’t this can lead to a build-up of dust, dirt, insects, and in some cases rodents and pests in your cold water storage tanks. If you investigate your tank and can’t see the same material through the water as the outside then this is probably because it is covered with a layer of dirt and algae inside. Some of the effects of this are sicknesses such as mouth ulcers, gastrointestinal issues, and even legionnaires as it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Particularly in warmer temperatures this will increase the growth of bacteria exponentially and can include a build of algae in a tank which in some cases is a perfect breathing ground for bacteria. We clean your tank with baby and food-safe sterilisation removing any built-up debris and fitting (fit) a correctly sized lid to prevent the ingress of any further dirt and debris.
Where tanks are the metal type we would strongly recommend these are changed as steel tanks rust and although they can be structurally strong looking they can have weak points on the sides or bottom which can begin to leak at anytime and are extremely unpredictable.
