Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Abraq Khitan
Tank cleaning in Abraq Khitan begins with opening the cover and looking at the tank floor and what has settled there. Abraq Khitan is a relatively modern residential area with semi-detached villas and small flats, and most residents keep tanks directly on the roof or mounted on a steel frame.
Tank symptoms
When a tank needscleaning.
A tank does not complain out loud. It complains through the water leaving it.
01
The taste or smell changed
If the taste or the smell changes at every tap at once, the source is shared, and the first place to look is the tank rather than a tap or the filter fitted to it.
02
Grit in the tap aerator
Unscrew a tap aerator and find fine grit in it, and sediment is moving off the tank floor. It lifts whenever the level drops and the draw on the tank gets stronger.
03
The lid is broken or missing
An open or broken lid lets Kuwaiti dust straight into the tank, and daylight in with it. Between them they spoil the water inside a tank that is otherwise perfectly sound.
04
Green on the inside wall
Green growth needs light. Seeing it inside a tank means light is getting in through a translucent lid, a crack or an open vent, and cleaning alone will not stop it returning.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Abraq Khitan has tightly-spaced villas with narrow passages between them, and most tanks are modern plastic but the connected pipes are old from the original construction. Semi-detached villas make tank access tricky because the roof space is small and the ladder needs a safe foothold. Water in Abraq Khitan comes from desalinated seawater, and desalination leaves more minerals than natural water, so salt and mineral buildup happens faster on the tank floor.
Abraq Khitan is a relatively modern residential area in Farwaniya governorate, marked by semi-detached villas and closely-packed small flats.
Abraq Khitan tanks accumulate desalinated water minerals faster than other areas, requiring cleaning every eight or nine months.

How it is done
From empty backto full.
A tank is cleaned empty. It cannot be cleaned with water in it.
We close the inlet and drain
The filling line is closed and the tank is drained through its drain valve or with a small pump, until only the layer on the floor is left.
We lift the sediment out
The layer on the floor is lifted out whole rather than stirred, because stirring it with water spreads it back across the walls and into the outlet.
We wipe walls and roof
The inner walls and the underside of the roof are wiped, because the film that clings above the water line is what comes back down with the first refill.
We rinse and check the lid
A final rinse leaves through the drain valve, then the lid, the openings and the float are checked, and we tell you if anything needs changing before it fills.
Common questions
Questions about Water tank cleaning in Abraq Khitan
Yes, significantly. Salt and minerals in desalinated water settle faster than in natural water, so the tank needs cleaning more than once a year. Each time we clean, we remove these sediments and salts from the floor.
Plastic tanks are exposed to direct heat and sun, so thermal insulation or a protective cover keeps water cooler and slows algae growth. If your tank overheats, tell us when we visit and we can fit proper shading.
