  2. Having a water tank makes many things easier for us. Having a water tank is a necessity for buildings, offices, and houses. It stores water for any and every purpose, be it cleaning, drinking, or something else. But it is also a huge responsibility. Therefore, we must know how to take care of the water tanks. We can begin by taking the smallest steps, like purchasing a water tank cover. The preparation of a water tank for different seasons consists of the maintenance and protection of it. Cleanliness comes under a part of the support. So, here is a guide put together on how to maintain, clean, and protect your water tank. Let us take a look at it.

  3. How to Protect and Maintain Your Water Tank in Summer?

  4. Paint Your Tank White • It is one of the most common and useful steps to keep your tank fresh. If not white, you can go for any light color. Painting the tank white or any bright color will reflect the light to a great extent and keep the reservoir fresh. Not only on the outside, but it is also important to paint the tank from the inside. It will prohibit the algae from growing in the container.

  5. Shift or Install the Tank in a Place Under a Roof • Installing the tank in an enclosure is the best option. It will directly block the sunlight from coming in contact with the tank, which will keep the tank cool at all times. But, shifting a tank that is already installed in the open can be tough. So, you can build a roof or shed over the tank. If you are about to purchase a new tank before summer, installing it under the roof is a wise option.

  6. Insulate the Pipes • Unlike the previous measures, insulating the pipes is not only helpful for summer but also winter. It blocks the heat and prevents the water from freezing at the same time. Protecting the hose is easy, and you can do it in various ways. You can use pipe wraps, wall insulation, pipe sleeves, or even insulate the pipe gaps.

  7. How to Protect and Maintain Your Water Tank for the Winter?

  8. Shape and Size • If you are going to purchase a new tank, go for a larger tank, and ensure that it is round in form. It is because a higher volume of water will take more time to freeze. And when you refill the water, the water will be warmer which will prolong the freezing even more. Round tanks provide better insulation than other shapes because the surface area is lesser. The heat loss is more secondary than the tanks in different ways.

  9. Get a Sloping Tank Cover • Buying a water tank protective cover is vital for your tank. But, if you live in an area where it snows, it is better to choose a sloping tank cover rather than a flat one. It is because snow might accumulate on a flat top, but it will slide down if the cover is sloping. Therefore, keeping your tank warmer than a flat sheet. So, when you buy a water tank coverbefore winter, make sure it is a sloping cover.

  10. Use a Heating Setup • A water heating system will not only help in keeping the water from freezing, but it will also keep the water warm enough. You can install a heater in the walls of the tank, or you can immerse an electric heater in the water.

  11. How to Clean Your Water Tank?

  12. Drain the Water Tank • Drain the water before cleaning the tank. Make sure to drain it in a surrounding where it is safe to let it go. A dry tank will make it easier for you to begin the cleaning process. Make sure that there is no water in the tank. You can use a vacuum or a pump, and you can take care of the moisture with a wet towel.

  13. Scrub and Rinse the Tank • Every cleaning process involves scrubbing and rinsing. So, make sure not to miss this part. Washing will remove all the silt and slime that has accumulated in your tank. You can do this with automatic or manual tools, according to your requirements. Once you are done scrubbing and rinsing, your tank will be way better and cleaner than before. Bleach the tank and let it be there for a while.

  14. Rinse it Out • Rinse out to make sure that no bleach is left out, or it might be harmful later. Be very precise with this step. Run your taps with hot water, if there is the solution in the pipes. If there is, then continue with the rinsing until everything is immaculate and free of the solution. You can take extra steps like checking the chlorine level, cleaning the supply lines, and partially refilling the tank.
