5 Top Reasons to Keep Your Water Tank Clean in New Zealand

Cleaning your water tanks is something that’s probably not always on your to-do list but is important (and often neglected)

But here’s the thing – it needs a good clean every now and then. Here are 5 reasons why giving your water tank a clean is more important than you might think.

Get better water – clean and odourless

Picture this: you’re super thirsty and  reaching for a glass of water straight from the tap. But uh-oh, what’s with that funky smell? Or that weird taste? Not exactly the refreshing experience you were after, eh? Well, that’s where a clean tank comes to the rescue. Regularly cleaning your water tank and water ensures your drinking water stays clean and tastes fresh. 

Get rid of the Health Hazards

Dodgy water is a no-go zone. It’s like an open invitation for all sorts of contaminants to take up residence in your tank.  Bacteria, protozoa, you name it. Sipping on contaminated water? That’s just asking for trouble. Regular tank cleaning is your ticket to avoiding those health hazards and keeping your whanau safe and sound. 

Say Yes to Primo Water Quality

Ever noticed your water being discoloured or getting a bit murky? That’s a tell-tale sign you need to give that tank some TLC. Even water that looks clear can be deceiving as our naked eye cannot see what is in solution.  Regular cleaning ensures your water stays pristine, odour-free, and safe for all your daily needs, whether it’s for making dinner for your family or having a soak in the bath. 

Stretch Your Water System’s Lifespan

Your water system is like your car in that they both need regular servicing.  So why risk your water quality by cutting corners on tank maintenance? Sediment buildup, rust galore, and other contaminants can cause trouble for your plumbing system, leaving you with a hefty bill to foot. Keep your system ticking along like a well-oiled machine by staying on top of tank cleaning.
