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
Kuwait City centre has high-rise residential blocks, massive government and commercial buildings. Tanks in tall towers sit at great heights, each flat on one shared line. Sediment and rust build up more because water travels far from tank to the lowest floor. Older buildings in the commercial district may have tanks exposed to adjacent roof pollution or corroded pipework. Opening a tank in a large building needs heavy mechanised equipment because tank volume is huge and water is heavy.
Kuwait City is in Kuwait governorate and is the downtown core, with high-rises and massive commercial and government buildings.
Tower tanks in Kuwait City need more frequent cleaning than low-rise buildings because water travels further and sediment accumulates more.

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 Kuwait City
Depends on tank size and demand, but one tank can serve twenty to fifty residential units. Multiple flats on each floor all draw from the same tank.
The primary tank receives government water and the secondary tank pumps it to upper floors. Both tanks must be cleaned equally because water from the secondary reaches residents directly.
