Introduction:
A customer reached out to us with a concern regarding a collapsible drinking water tank. He had purchased a flexible tank to store potable water but encountered a persistent issue: a chemical taste in the water. Despite using white vinegar a few times, the taste only disappeared temporarily before returning. Seeking a lasting solution, the customer turned to our tech team for advice on how to effectively eliminate the chemical taste from the tank.
Effective Methods to Remove Chemical Taste from Your Flexible Tank
To effectively remove the chemical taste from the interior of a flexible tank, Water Storage Tanks offers several cleaning options:
1. Hot Water Wash: Begin by washing the tank with hot water at approximately 158°F (70°C). This method is often effective in eliminating unwanted tastes from the tank's interior.
2. Mild Chlorine Solution: If hot water alone doesn't do the trick, try rinsing the tank with a mild chlorine solution (no stronger than 5%). This solution can help neutralize the chemical taste.
3. Sterilizing Agent: Alternatively, use an approved sterilizing agent to cleanse the tank. This option ensures the interior remains clean and safe for storing drinking water.
These cleaning methods are designed to sanitize your tank, maintaining a safe environment for continued water storage.
State Incentives for Rain Harvesting
