Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Fintas
Water tank cleaning in Fintas becomes essential because every drop you drink and wash with passes through the tank first. Fintas is a coastal residential area near the co-operative and beach, with a mix of older and newer houses on a single water line.
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
Fintas houses vary between older villas, small flats and shops near the co-op, each with a tank on the roof or in the stairwell. Older villa tanks build up sediment and rust faster than new houses, and if you skip a year or two the bottom fills with sludge and the water starts brown or smelly. We open the tank from the top, suction out everything on the floor, scrub the walls and disinfect before we refill it.
Fintas sits in Ahmadi governorate, a coastal residential area with villas and flats near the co-operative and beach.
Many Fintas tanks have old welded seams and no roof access, so we start from the bottom through a maintenance hatch or side inlet.

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 Fintas
Sediment and rust build up on old tank walls and mix with the water over time. Cleaning the tank every year or two prevents this completely.
We open from the side or bottom inlet and suction from there. Some old Fintas tanks are fully welded, so we use a small hose to get the opening clear.
