The Right Way of Cleaning Commercial Stainless Steel Water Tank

By now you already know that commercial SS water tanks last for decades. Your tank will be even more durable if it’s a Purever commercial tank. Still, if you want to increase the lifespan of these tanks even further, you must know how to take care of them. This write-up will educate you about the right process of cleaning a stainless steel water tank. Read on to know more.

 

Step 1: Prepare the Tank for Cleaning

Open the outlet tap of the tank to get rid of all the water stored in it. You can connect a pipe to the tap when doing this. It will allow you to direct the water to a location and thereby prevent erosion. Use a bucket to remove the residual water from the tank’s bottom. Make sure that the tank is empty. If required, you can use a dry or wet vacuum for the job.

 

Step 2: Prepare the Cleaning Solution

Prepare a solution by mixing hot water and laundry detergent. Pick a mild detergent to ensure that the solution doesn’t corrode the walls of the stainless steel water tank.

 

Step 3: Clean the Tank’s Inside Walls Manually

Usually, the inner walls of commercial SS water tanks contain maximum dirt and debris. Soak a sturdy bristle brush in the cleaning solution and scrub the inner walls using it. Keep moving your arm horizontally to ensure that you reach all parts of the tank. Put as much pressure as you can when scrubbing. Keep scrubbing until you see that the maximum amount of slime and sludge has been removed.

 

Step 4: Clean with a Power Washer

Next, use a power washer to thoroughly clean the inner walls of the stainless steel water tank. Here are the steps for using a power washer:

 

Pour enough cleaning solution into the power washer

Hold it at the distance that you feel will be best for removing sediment, dirt, and debris from the tank

Keep cleaning with the power washer until you are confident that the remaining dirt and debris are removed completely

 

One word of caution: Don’t forget to wear safety goggles when cleaning commercial SS water tanks with a power washer.

 

Step 5: Use Baking Soda for Stubborn Sediments

If there are still some sediments left inside the tank, you will have to use baking soda to get rid of them. Sprinkle enough baking soda and scrub again using the brush. You must particularly focus on the corners and joints of the tank.

 

Step 6: Use Pipes and Hoses to Remove the Cleaning Solution and Baking Soda

Flush the tank well using pipes and hoses to remove the cleaning solution. For the best results, you must use hot water in this step. Once the stainless steel water tank is rinsed properly, dry it up using a dry or wet vacuum.

 

The above steps may be time taking but they require only a handful of ingredients. What’s more, if it’s a Purever commercial tank you will not need to clean it very frequently.
