Clean tanks, safer water
Sludge, sediment and biofilm (slime) build up in water tanks and pipework and give bacteria an ideal source of nutrients. Deep cleaning and chlorination should always be part of routine maintenance.
Domestic water tanks
Water tanks should be inspected annually and cleaned if necessary. Sludge, sediment and biofilms accumulate in tanks and pipework and provide ideal nutrient sources for bacteria to thrive.
Private water supply tanks
Private tanks often become neglected, putting more demand on UV filtration and needing more frequent component changes. For holiday parks and rented accommodation, including holiday cottages, HSG274 Part 2 says inspect them annually and clean them if necessary; for private owners it is good practice too.
