Frequently asked questions about Water Tank Cleaning Services
If you're unfamiliar with non-invasive water tank cleaning technology, you may have some questions about how it works, how long it takes to clean, and how it compares to other mechanized water tank cleaning methods in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Delhi NCR. Let's take a closer look at this innovative technology and explore its benefits over traditional cleaning methods.
- Ace Tank Cleaner (ATC) primarily uses a non-invasive, mechanized and hygienic cleaning method to clean water tanks.
- The main technique involves the use of high-pressure heavy-duty suction machines with specially designed brushes to remove all accumulated dirt, sediment, debris and biofilm from the tank walls and floor thoroughly without using any chemical and anyone needing to enter the tank.
- High-Pressure Suction Machines: ATC employs specialized machines that generate high-pressure suction. These machines are designed to efficiently remove impurities, sediments, and contaminants from the inner surfaces of water tanks.
- Non-Invasive Mechanized Cleaning: The entire cleaning process is mechanized and non-invasive. This means that no human entry is required into the water tank. The machines perform the cleaning tasks effectively without the need for manual scrubbing or entry.
- No Use of Harmful Chemicals: ATC's cleaning method does not involve the use of any harmful chemicals or solutions. This approach ensures the safety of the water supply for residential and commercial use.
- Specially Designed Brushes: A brush is attached to the end of the suction pipe. This brush is specifically designed to reach and clean the entire inner surface area of the water tank. The brushing action helps in dislodging and removing accumulated debris.
- Deep Cleaning: The combination of high-pressure suction and brushing ensures deep cleaning. The process is designed to reach even the difficult-to-access areas of the tank, providing a thorough cleaning of the entire internal surface.
Suction and Disposal: As the machines operate, they simultaneously suction out the dislodged impurities and contaminants. The collected debris is then disposed of responsibly.
We can efficiently clean tanks up to 1000 litres in just 30 minutes. Larger tanks, up to 5000 litres, may take around an hour, but our time estimates are flexible and depend on the tank's condition.
No. We recommend that a minimum of 25% of the tank's capacity should be filled with water before our service.
- But we recommend emptying your tanks only under specific circumstances, such as when the water shows signs of being excessively dirty, having an unpleasant odour, taste, or contamination.
- Additionally, if we discover any unwelcome elements like dead birds, lizards, earthworms, or other slimy creatures during our inspection, we may advise draining the tank for a thorough and effective cleaning.
- During your first cleaning with us, our cleaning typically uses only 30-35% water, while subsequent cleanings drops to around 20-25%. Remember, these are estimates, and the actual water usage may vary depending on your specific tank and water conditions.
Remember: We highly recommend a full drain for your very first service but ultimately depends on your unique needs and preferences. This proactive approach maximizes cleaning effectiveness and minimizes the risk of future problems affecting water quality or tank lifespan. At top, a fresh start with an empty tank provides the best foundation for ongoing water tank health.
- Yes, for general use. You can be confident that our gentle and thorough cleaning methods ensure the water you used before remains untouched and remains clean and perfectly safe to use afterwards.
But No for drinking purpose, as recommended by water safety experts, it's always advisable to boil or use your chosen water purification system before drinking. This extra step ensures complete disinfection and adherence to your preferred standards for safe and delicious water.
Yes, we will. We utilize our advanced machine with cutting-edge technology to drain the entire tank ensuring a faster and more effective water drainage process.
- In the Delhi-NCR region, it’s not only for an individual, most residents face common challenges related to water impurities in their tanks. Main factors are:
Â
- Dust storms & wind from pre-monsoon & monsoon seasons: The pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons witness heavy dust storms and strong winds, carrying large amounts of fine dust and dirt particles which can easily settle in exposed water tanks, accumulating as muddy sediment.
- Infrequent tank cleaning & improper sealing: If water tanks are not cleaned regularly, accumulated sediment can build up over time, creating a more significant presence of mud and silt. Overflows and splashes within the tank can also resuspend settled particles, further clouding the water. Improper Tank Sealing:Â Open vents or loosely fitted lids on water tanks can allow dust and debris to enter directly, contributing to the mud and silt problem.
- Deforestation & soil erosion increasing loose dirt: Unregulated construction and deforestation in surrounding areas can lead to soil erosion, increasing the amount of loose dirt and clay particles that can be carried by wind and deposited in water tanks.
- Construction dust & leaks in ageing water pipes: Extensive construction activities within Delhi-NCR areas generate dust and debris, further contributing to the sediment load in water tanks. Open construction sites become hotspots for dust accumulation during windy periods. Ageing Pipes and Leaks: Delhi-NCR region’s water supply infrastructure faces challenges like ageing pipelines and leakages. These leaks can draw in contaminated water and soil particles from surrounding areas, contaminating the water supply and feeding into tanks.
- Inadequate filtration: Existing filtration systems at water treatment plants might not be fully equipped to handle the increased sediment load, especially during peak dust storm seasons. This can lead to residual mud and silt reaching residential water tanks.
- There's no single permanent solution to completely block dirt from entering your water tank. However, you can implement several strategies to significantly reduce the amount of dirt and debris entering your tank:
Â
- Tank-related measures:
- Regular cleaning:Schedule regular cleaning of your tank, ideally before the monsoon season, to remove any accumulated sediment and prevent further build-up.
- Install a tight-fitting lid and fine mesh vent:This will prevent dust and larger particles from entering the tank directly.
- Consider a rainwater harvesting system:This can provide a cleaner source of water for your tank, especially if you have adequate roof space and proper filtration.
Â
- Water supply infrastructure:
- Invest in a sediment filter:This can be installed at the point of entry into your tank and effectively remove finer particles from the water supply.
- Advocate for improved infrastructure:Community efforts to improve the water supply network in your area, including better filtration and leak repair, can contribute to cleaner water overall.
Â
- Environmental factors:
- Planting trees:Trees act as natural filters and can help reduce dust and windblown dirt in your neighbourhood.
- Minimizing construction dust:If you live near construction sites, consider using tarpaulins or other covers to protect your tank from dust.
Remember: While no single solution is permanent, by combining these strategies, you can significantly reduce the amount of dirt entering your water tank and ensure cleaner, healthier water for your home.

Allow the ATC team to conduct a site visit to assess the tank conditions and provide an accurate estimate before starting the cleaning process.
- Turn off the water supply/maintain water Level to the tank: This will prevent water from overflowing during the cleaning process. Ensure there is a minimum water level (around 30-35% of tank capacity) for effective cleaning and to minimize water wastage.
- Electricity Access: Provide a nearby electricity point (within the range of 50 feet from the tank) as the cleaning machines run on electricity.
- Inform your household members/Prepare for temporary water disruption: Let everyone in the house know about the cleaning schedule asyour water supply might be temporarily interrupted. Have alternative water sources like bottled water handy for immediate needs.

- Post-Cleaning Precautions with Ace Tank Cleaner (ATC):
Â
- Tank Usage: If the tank is empty, avoid opening taps immediately. Fill the tank to at least half capacity. Identify the tap connected at the lowest level, open it for 5-10 minutes to prevent airlock issues, then use other taps.
- Sensor Precaution: If any sensors (manual/automatic) are installed, ensure to power them off before cleaning. Resume their operation only after the service is complete.
- Empty Tank Flushing: For an empty tank, open taps one by one for around 1-2 minutes to flush out any remaining dirt in the pipelines.
- Shared responsibility:If you assigned someone to oversee the service, ensure they communicate any post-cleaning instructions or observations to you.
- Report any concerns:If you notice any unexpected issues after the cleaning, like discoloured water or unpleasant odour, contact Us immediately. We will promptly investigate and address the situation.
- Remember: To maintain optimal water quality and equipment functionality, adhere to a regular tank cleaning schedule with ATC. Even the best cleaning won't prevent dirt and sediment from accumulating in the future. Stick to your regular cleaning schedule to ensure consistent water quality. Regular tank cleaning not only ensures water hygiene but also enhances the performance of internal equipment like RO systems, geysers, water softeners, bathroom showers, and taps.
- Your water tank directly affects your daily hygiene. From brushing your teeth to bathing and washing clothes, everything uses water stored in your tank. Dirty tanks lead to unclean water, compromising your hygiene and potentially impacting your health. Considering the water quality challenges in Delhi-NCR, regular water tank cleaning is crucial in these regions due to various specific factors like:
Â
- Environmental factors:
- Dust storms and strong winds:Pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons bring dust storms, depositing large amounts of fine particles in exposed tanks.
- Deforestation and soil erosion:Uncontrolled construction and deforestation contribute to increased loose dirt and clay particles, easily carried by wind and deposited in tanks.
- Construction boom:Extensive construction activities generate dust and debris, further contaminating water supplies and settling in tanks.
Â
- Water infrastructure challenges:
- Ageing pipes and leaks:Leaky pipes can draw in contaminated water and soil particles from surrounding areas, polluting the water supply and affecting tanks.
- Inadequate filtration:Existing filtration systems might struggle with the increased sediment load during peak dust seasons, allowing some particles to reach residential tanks.
Â
- Individual tank maintenance:
- Infrequent cleaning:If tanks are not cleaned regularly, accumulated sediment builds up, clouding the water and creating a breeding ground for bacteria.
- Improper sealing:Open vents or loose lids on tanks allow dust and debris to enter directly, contributing to the mud and silt problem.
Â
- Consequences of neglecting cleaning:
- Health risks:Contaminated water can cause various health issues like gastrointestinal illnesses, skin infections, and respiratory problems.
- Unpleasant water:Cloudy water, unpleasant odours, and bad taste can make the water unusable for drinking and cooking.
- Clogged pipes:Sediment build-up can clog pipes, leading to reduced water flow, pressure issues, and even damage to the plumbing system as well affecting the performance of water-related equipment such as RO systems, geysers, and water softeners.
Â
- Recommended Frequency: Most experts recommend cleaning water tanks at least once every 3 months in Delhi-NCR region as a proactive measure to address water quality challenges, maintain health standards, and ensure the efficient functioning of water-related equipment. More or less frequency needs on several factors depending on individual personal hygiene level, location and environment, tank size and usage, water source and filtration, presence of visible dirt or odour or any other reason for action needed to be taken.
