The Hidden Danger in Your Water Tank: A Lagos Family’s Story
When you turn on your tap at home, you probably assume the water is safe. After all, it looks clear, maybe even cold and refreshing. But what if I told you that inside your water tank could be bacteria, algae, rust — even slugs?
That’s exactly what happened to Amaka, a mother of three living in Surulere, Lagos.
For months, her children suffered from recurring stomach pain, typhoid, and skin rashes. She blamed the food, the school, even the weather. Hospitals drained her pockets, and she became frustrated. But during one hospital visit, a doctor asked a simple but life-changing question:
“Madam, when last did you clean your water tank?”
Amaka was shocked. Like most Nigerians, she had never thought about cleaning her tank. To her, tanks were just “storage containers” for water.
When Paran Water Technology inspected her tank, the truth was shocking: thick green algae lined the walls, rust sediments settled at the bottom, and a foul odor was hiding in the corners. The water her family was cooking with and bathing with was slowly poisoning them.
After our professional cleaning and free water test, things changed. Her children stopped falling sick every other week, her medical expenses dropped, and for the first time in years, she felt peace of mind.
Why Tank Cleaning Is More Important Than You Think
- Health Risks: Dirty tanks breed bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Typhoid pathogens. These cause diarrhea, stomach pain, and long-term health issues.
- Skin Problems: Have you or your children ever experienced constant itching or rashes after bathing? Your water tank may be the culprit.
- Rust and Algae: Sediment from rust corrodes pipes and appliances, while algae creates a foul smell in your water.
Experts recommend cleaning your tank every 6 months. But most households go years without touching theirs.
