The Dirty Truth About Your Water Tank: Why It Needs Cleaning Every 6 Months
Introduction
When was the last time you opened your water tank and took a proper look inside? If you’re like most people, the answer might be never. Out of sight, out of mind — until the sicknesses start creeping in.
In this blog, we uncover the truth about what lives in your tank, its impact on your health, and why Paran Water Tech recommends cleaning your tank every six months.
What’s Hiding in Your Tank?
Even if your water supply is clean at the source, the tank becomes a breeding ground for contaminants:
Algae and biofilm that thrive in warmth
Insects, spiders, and mosquito larvae through open vents
Sediment and rust from pipes and roof dust
Dead animals, including rats or lizards, that sneak in unnoticed
“Many cases of typhoid, diarrhea, and skin infections are linked to dirty tanks. The water might look clear, but the danger is real.”
5 Red Flags Your Tank Needs Cleaning
Foul or metallic smell
Yellow or brown water
Slimy tank walls
Floating particles in your cup
Constant illnesses at home
These signs are your wake-up call.
Why Clean Every 6 Months?
The rainy season washes bacteria and dirt into your tank
Heat encourages rapid algae growth
Mosquitoes breed in neglected tanks
Rust shortens your tank and pipe lifespan
Don’t wait for signs. Prevention is cheaper than hospital bills.
