Draining and Pumping Out Sediment
Draining the reservoir and pumping out the sediment, scale, and sludge that have built up on the floor and walls over time.
Over time, water reservoirs and storage tanks accumulate sediment, scale, and biofilm that become a breeding ground for bacteria. Periodic cleaning and disinfection restores the reservoir to proper condition and protects water quality. Kesar Digum carries out the work with approved agents and pairs it with verification sampling tested at an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory - nationwide.
Every reservoir or storage tank is a way station where water sits before it reaches the consumer. The longer the water stands, and the more sediment, scale, and biofilm build up on the walls, the greater the risk of bacterial growth and a loss of quality. Periodic cleaning and disinfection - including draining, pumping out sediment, flushing, and disinfection with approved agents - restores the reservoir to proper condition. Kesar Digum carries out the work and pairs it with verification sampling that proves the water is once again safe to use.
An orderly process, from draining the reservoir to verification sampling that confirms it's ready for use again.
Draining the reservoir and pumping out the sediment, scale, and sludge that have built up on the floor and walls over time.
Mechanical cleaning and flushing of the reservoir walls to remove biofilm and layers of grime that serve as a source of bacterial growth.
Disinfecting the reservoir with an approved solution at a controlled concentration and contact time, to eliminate the bacteria left after cleaning.
Taking a water sample once the work is done and testing it at an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory to confirm the water has returned to normal.
Full DetailsA reservoir calls for proactive attention in several situations. These are the most common cases requiring cleaning and disinfection:
Residential buildings with a storage reservoir are required to carry out periodic cleaning and disinfection, as a condition for proper water supply to residents.
Even without an abnormal finding, it's recommended to clean and disinfect reservoirs once a year to prevent the buildup of sediment and biofilm.
Complaints about color, odor, or taste, or an abnormal sampling result, point to a problem in the reservoir that calls for cleaning and disinfection.
Repairing, sealing, or replacing components in the reservoir requires disinfection and verification sampling before returning the water to use.
A reservoir that isn't cleaned gradually turns from a store of clean water into a source of contamination:
Stagnant water and sediment create ideal conditions for bacterial growth and for biofilm to form on the reservoir walls.
A contaminated reservoir harms the water quality of everyone connected to it - sometimes without any noticeable change in taste or color.
The building committee or property manager is responsible for maintaining the reservoir, and neglecting it can carry health and legal consequences.
We'll come on-site, drain, clean, and disinfect the reservoir with approved agents, and pair the work with verification sampling at an accredited laboratory - with a clear report, nationwide.
