Emiratis store water in underground and overhead tanks and consume it for drinking, cooking, and other purposes. 

But over time, these tanks accumulate dust, debris, bacteria, viruses, mold, and other harmful organisms that pose various health risks.  Thus, regular cleaning and disinfection of water tanks is essential to maintain hygiene and ensure what you are consuming is harmless. Be it your home water tank or business, Dubai Municipality recommends professional cleaning at least twice a year.

In this article, we will explain the importance of water tank cleaning in Dubai. We will also unveil the thorough process to give you an idea of how it is done.

Dubai is known for its exceptionally clean environment. However, residents need to ensure the cleanliness of their water tanks on their own.

These water storage tanks offer a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria, mold, viruses, and other microorganisms.

If you don’t clean your water tank within six months or leave it for longer, you’ll notice a visible layer of mold at the bottom, walls, pipes, and other parts of the tank. There could be rust everywhere and harmful microorganisms contaminating water.

It decreases the quality of water and increases the risks of various water-borne diseases, including Cholera, Giardia, Dysentery, and E. coli.

You might experience cloudiness or rusty color water, unusual taste, strange odors, and visible particles in the water. All these are the signs you need water tank cleaning as soon as possible.

If the water contains pathogenic microbes, they can be transferred due to drinking, food permeation, and even washing clothes.

That said, it is recommended to get water tanks cleaned every six months to ensure you are drinking and using clean and harmless water. 

It requires professional cleaning to remove the contaminants and prevent them from further growth.

You might think about cleaning your water tank on your own. But even if it is small or not deep enough, it is better to hire professionals. 

You won’t be able to disinfect it properly. It requires suitable chemicals, a water pump, a pressure washer, and other machinery to get the job done with perfection. 

Most importantly, professionals have the experience of dealing with filthy tanks. They take every step carefully to ensure their safety and optimal outcome.

If you try to do it on your own, you will need a pressure washer, water pump, and other equipment. Secondly, it is a laborious task that requires multiple workers.

Often, people end up damaging pipes and valves inside the tank. And when they don’t disinfect properly, mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms regrow soon. 

Thus, it is better to hire professionals. They properly clean the water tank in the shortest time possible. The best part is that they do it according to the regulations and instructions of Dubai Municipality.
