Water tank should be cleaned every 6 months to prevent the accumulation of sediment, algae, bacteria, and other contaminants that can build up over time, potentially compromising water quality and posing health risks if left unchecked; regular cleaning ensures your water remains safe to drink and helps maintain the lifespan of your tank and associated plumbing systems.
Bacteria growth:
Stagnant water in a tank can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria like Legionella, which can lead to illness if consumed.
Sediment buildup:
Dirt, dust, and other particles settle at the bottom of the tank, affecting water clarity and potentially clogging filters.
Algae growth:
Warm temperatures and stagnant water can encourage algae growth, making the water appear discolored and unpleasant.
Corrosion and rust:
Over time, rust can build up inside the tank, impacting water quality and potentially damaging the tank itself.
