With the passage of time and the lack of regular disinfection of water along with the lack of maintaining a clean water tank, thick layers are formed that end up influencing water quality. It is important to note that the lesser water used in the tank and remaining in the tank for long periods, the more impurities accumulate to contaminate it which can eventually leave you with a dirty water tank in immediate need of cleaning.
2) The state of preservation in which the tank is located, for example, that it has cracks or breaks, flaws in the lid or basic defects in the seal that allows contact with the outside and the possibility of allowing various pathogens inside, such as bacteria or parasites, viruses, etc. These issues can all be avoided by scheduling regular water tank cleaning services, the cleaners are experienced and trained to ensure a clean water tank while making sure that there is no way for harm to find its way inside.
