Your Legal Responsibilities Regular water tank cleaning is essential for maintaining a healthy water supply. Let's explore why it is necessary and the recommended frequency for cleaning: I’ve seen some posts and videos on Youtube talk about using citric or acetic acid to clean a motorhome water tank as it restricts the growth of bacteria and prevents algae growing.

Prevention of Corrosion and Damage: Sediment, minerals, and chemicals present in water can cause corrosion and deterioration of the tank and its components. Professional water tank cleaning removes these contaminants, mitigating the risk of corrosion and potential damage to the tank structure. This helps maintain the tank's structural integrity and ensures the longevity of the entire water supply system. Once the system has been flushed through or partly drained the TDS should be measured and the levels should be equivalent to the incoming mains water supply (TDS within 5%). Also, measure the concentration of free chlorine remaining in the tank. It should be between 0.5 and 0.1PPM. The dosed water, if used for drinking purposes, can still be consumed whilst the chemical (if dosed as per manufacturers’ instructions) remains in the system. Let's delve deeper into the process, benefits, and importance of regular water tank cleaning to ensure the safety and well-being of all. The Process of Water Tank Cleaning The water tank cleaning process can vary slightly depending on the size, type and complexity of the tank, premises and the water system involved.Wastewater should not be discarded in rivers as the organic materials and high chlorine levels can be dangerous for fish and plant life. Instead, it should be disposed of to a sewer network, transported to a sewage treatment plant or placed in a septic tank that flows into an underground soakage system. Summary Fill the tank with fresh water, allow to stand for 30 minutes and then flush the entire system again until you can’t smell bleach.

If entry is necessary, then two technicians must be present, and confined space safety rules, regulations and procedures must be followed.

Fill the tank with fresh water, allow to stand for 30 minutes and then flush the entire system again. Make sure you replace the lid properly to prevent any debris falling into your clean tank and leave the tank for drying. After the tank is dry, it is ready for use. Frequently Asked Questions: One thing my husband and I have always been conscious of is drinking water. Mr WB has spent a lot of time in the Middle East, where water is not always safe to drink and he’s a little obsessive about making sure we have safe water. The first step is to drain your water tank. You’ll need 2-5 gallon pails of water for cleaning and rinsing. After draining, the interior surfaces of the tank are thoroughly scrubbed to remove any stubborn sediment, scale, or biofilm. Specialized tools and brushes are used to reach all areas of the tank, including corners, seams, and outlets. Mechanical cleaning methods may be employed for more stubborn deposits. High-Pressure CleaningRinse the tank with clean water. This task is best carried out with a high-pressure hose pipe or water jet. Keep doing this until the water coming out of the outlet runs clear. If this equipment is not available to you, then fill the tank with water (preferably hot) and leave it to stand for a few hours. Drain all the water from the tank and collect for safe disposal as before. Or, if you’re not using a pressure washer, fill the tank with hot water and allow to stand for a couple of hours before draining the water from the tank Many people ask me if the water tastes weird with the filter, but no- I can’t taste any difference tbh. How to look after your motorhome water system while travelling Here are some tips to keep your water tank clean while on the road: Recommended Cleaning Frequency: The frequency of water tank cleaning depends on various factors, including tank size, water usage, and water quality.

Why do I need to clean my water tank?

Personally, I do drink from the water tank as I now have an inline filter in the cold line fitted (so I don’t drink anything from the water heater!), but for many years we only used our motorhome water tank for showers, teeth cleaning and washing up and used a Lifesaver Jerrycan to drink from, even when we’re going to boil it in the kettle. Create a solution of 1 part bleach to 4 parts hot water and manually scrub the side of the tank to remove dirt and grime. You can use either a mop or pressure washer. Don’t forget to thoroughly clean any awkward corners or joints Great care must be taken when disposing of all liquids used for cleaning and disinfecting your tank. Letting too much water out at one time can cause erosion or flooding so it is vital the water follows a channel to its final disposal point.
