Ramadan Drain CleaningWater tank cleaning in Wafra
Water tank cleaning in Wafra starts when you notice the water tastes odd or looks cloudy. Wafra is a farming community near the Saudi border, and its tanks collect sediment and dust faster than tanks in urban blocks.
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
Most Wafra houses and farms have tanks on the roof or in the yard, and the water filling them travels through long open-ground pipelines. Sediment and dust settle on the floor, and the inner walls need thorough washing, not just a quick rinse. When we open the tank, we remove everything from the bottom by hand, then wash every internal surface, and before closing we check the cover for cracks that let outside dust in.
Wafra sits in Ahmadi governorate, a farming district in the south near the Saudi border, where tanks need regular cleaning.
Wafra farm tanks need heavier cleaning cycles than residential tanks because field dust reaches them more easily.

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 Wafra
It depends on use and location. If the tank is in the open yard, every 3 or 4 months is better because dust gets in faster. If covered, you can go longer, but never more than 6 months without cleaning.
Cloudy water or brown tint, or an odd smell from the taps. Small dust particles settling in cups when you fill them from the tap mean sediment built up on the floor. We open it and look inside.
