Very important question.

Especially for those put at heights that are virtually impossible to reach for such activity to be carried out easily.

Even with the use of water filters, some have become culture medium for algae while those without proper coverings and at near ground level have dead rodents, lizards and geckos in them while still serving as a source of water storage for home use.

Some geepee tanks however wouldn't require washing since they serve as deposit money banks for illicit moneys hidden from Tinubu's executive order to be signed soon.

Well, some tanks do not require washing really, esp the black tanks.
If your tank is not black, you go wash tire because Black reduces the amount of sunlight penetration into the water.
Those microbes need sunlight to reproduce.

I know what I'm saying.
And you think that kind of comment is appropriate for someone with your profession? You're a disgrace to your profession and your mother and sisters. Shame!

Haaa, thank you. In our former apartment, we had two tanks, one was black and the other one was green. I did invite plumber once a year for cleaning and I would notice that the green one always had more algae far more than the black one. I observed but didn't know why, I'm just understanding the reason now. Thank God the one I paid for but yet to install is black.

3years I move into the compound now, late last year I told landlady washing it oh.

The woman just dey talk story since then na boiled water I dey drink.
You can pay for it, it will be cost effective for you and others including your landlady will benefit from it. As long as it is easy access, not those that are very high

This is very dangerous. It is called confined space which definitely have limited oxygen and excess heat. Avoid the temptation of trying what can cut short your life
Are you sure you know what you're talking. Which confirmed space. Something that can fit two persons comfortably without stress. There are lots of oxygen as the lid is wide open

You should have gone for black ⚫ tank. Black tank is better because it reduces or eliminate photosynthesis inside the tank. So those green plants (spirogyra) inside the tank won't get access to light, making it difficult for them to survive and reproduce.

Please change it to 3-4 month if you can, to much of climbing and entering into the tank to wash might damaged the tanking not carefully managed..

Thanks for this. We drink from it, hence the frequency.

Now you get the scope..
You can paint your green tank BLACK and see the magic.

Those sellers and plumbers won't tell you this.

The Black tanks are meant for outdoors while other colors should be placed indoors.

This can only happen when you don't exhaust water before refills

Taar, you can sleep inside for 24 hours without any hard in as much the cover of the tank is not closed. Must you see challenges in every thing? try to be positive minded always, it is good for your mental health.

Ignorance is a disease. It is better to try and read about "confined space"

I'm sure you are one of those people that uses the word "saner clime" without checking the meaning. Just a simple Google and YouTube search will educate more than all o can say.

😂 It is not "confirmed space" it is "confined space" google and YouTube can help you with with its accident. Peace

Second half of last year (2023). The tank didn't have build up of spyrogyra like the one in that photo but it had a lot of fine sand deposits at the bottom.


Can you imagine the content of large town water reservoir?

That water tank is not black colour if it is you are supposed not to have algae formed inside of it.

Was just telling my Dad yesterday to change his tank entirely cos there is no good washing it when it has never been done since he moved to his compound Dec 28 1993.
30 years.
It’s needs a change.
He's been using it since water corporation days. cheesy
