Water required for daily usage contains dissolved suspended solids, protozoa, viruses or bacteria, sediment, debris, ingrowths, silt, sand, sludge, buildup, threshold effect concentration.

Such impure, contaminated water is a major cause of illness. 60% of diseases caused to humans are water-borne, children below 5 years are more vulnerable. One of the most usual ways of water getting contaminated is through water storage tanks – the cleaning of which is either neglected or inadequate.

The most common way of cleaning the water storage tank is to hire a local sweeper or a plumber who in turn usually employs a casual labourer to get the tank cleaned. This labourer, who, himself on most of the occasions has the most unclean and dirty living habits enters the tank with a brush or a broom (the same brush or broom which is used for cleaning the gutters & toilets) & scrubs the walls, floor and the ceiling of the tank using the same water.

After this, He physically removes water and the sludge from the tank using a bucket, mug & mop. He sometimes uses bleaching powder or detergent to clean the tank (which can be more harmful). This process is laborious and the cleaning is ineffective. Even after the so-called thorough cleaning, the disease causing bacteria still remains in the tank, making the water risky for human consumption. The people who normally do these cleaning jobs are untrained who also lack personal hygiene and themselves could be the cause of contamination.

Against the above demerits of the conventional methods of cleaning the tanks, the only advantage probably is the cheaper cost of such unprofessional cleaning. Our unique professional method of cleaning the tank eliminates long term serious repercussions and consequences of the present conventional way of cleaning.
