WATER STORAGE TANK CLEANING & CHLORINATION
Water storage tanks are present in many different buildings and provide water to many different types of systems. To maintain a good quality water supply and comply with the Drinking Water Regulations and ACOP L8 it is vital that these tanks are regularly inspected and cleaned.
Over time debris and other contaminants will build up within the tank and provide a breeding ground for bacteria such as Legionella. Other harmful bacteria may also be present and if left unchecked these can create a high-risk environment for the entire building.
Water Hygiene Solutions Ltd can provide specialist cleaning and chlorination of all types and sizes of water storage tanks from small one piece plastic tanks in domestic dwellings to large sectional steel or GRP tanks multi-tank systems in hospitals, hotels and health clubs, etc. By cleaning and disinfecting the water storage tank/s you can be assured of high-quality water feeding your system ensuring the safety of staff and visitors.
Chlorination disinfection of the tanks’ down services can be carried out at the same time as the water tank cleaning to ensure complete confidence in the water services.Emergency tank cleaning and chlorination can be carried out should harmful bacteria such as Legionella be found and we always work with the minimum disruption.
CLEANING & CHLORINATION OF BOOSTED WATER TANKS
Boosted mains tanks are present in many buildings, often office and apartment blocks and are generally used like an incoming mains supply, providing water for the whole building, including drinking water. They are used where pressures or flow may not be adequate from the external incoming mains supply.
As all outlets within a building will be fed via the boosted mains tank including all drinking water outlets it is vital that tanks are regularly cleaned to maintain water quality.
The BS8558:2015 states that cisterns (tanks) feeding drinking water outlets should be cleaned at least annually to maintain water quality. WHS have vast experience in working on boosted mains tanks in all manner of premises from large hospital systems to individual homes. As all our operatives have EUSR Water Hygiene Cards and are experienced in working on mains drinking water installations you can be assured of a high degree of cleanliness and understanding of the implications of contaminating a drinking water supply.
We also utilise separate equipment and workwear for the cleaning of water tanks to ensure no cross-contamination can occur between drinking water systems and process systems.
