Sediment Accumulation

Over time, sand and sediment can accumulate inside water storage tanks. It occurs when solids form at the bottom and on the tank’s walls. The addition of a filter can stop chemicals from lingering within the water tank. It is a great long-term solution but comes at a high cost. Save money and prevent this problem by asking a professional to drain and rinse your water tank every few years. 

Algae Growth

Algae is a microorganism that grows in wet areas. It appears inside the unit when the sunlight is not blocked out or when the lid is lost or removed. During the installation process, take your contractor's advice. Water tanks thrive in shady spots. Choosing the right type of tank is also ideal. Opaque plastic water storage tanks prevent light from getting into the unit.

Bent or Broken Pipes

When a pipe is broken or bent, a leak can occur. It's a result of piping not being attached to a flexible connector. Each unit should have flexible connectors. Without them, you would need new pipes and water tanks much sooner. The best way to avoid this problem is to ensure the installation process is done correctly. A professional will finish the job properly for fewer future repairs.

Tank Tipping

Runoff from rain can cause your water tank to overflow. Water accumulating around the tank base results in erosion. There are several ways to direct water away from your tank's base. The better question is, "what happens after the damage is done?". Luckily, we have solutions. Ask our team to inspect the tank's pipework and internal supports before draining and cleaning your tank.
