Cleaning a water tank is similar to cleaning a large bathtub, but more attention is paid to cleaning the interior.

Here’s a brief overview of the steps:

1. Drain the water tank – If you have a large Cleaning Water Tank, flush the water to a location that will not inundate the surroundings. The dryer the tank, the better the outcome, so use a pump or wet vac to remove any water left over during the draining operation. Finally, use a towel to remove any remaining moisture.
2. Scrub the interior – This is most likely the most crucial step in the cleaning procedure. You want to get clean of any dust, sand, or slime that has developed on the tank’s walls. Because some tanks don’t have enough room for you to reach in and clean the interior manually, power cleaners are an excellent tool for the job. If you don’t have a steam cleaner, use hard-bristled brushes, an adjustable-handled mop, or any other equipment that can be used at an angle. The goal is to reach every tank area and apply enough force to remove all slime and sand accumulated since the last cleaning. When you’re done, the tank should look like it did the day it arrived: spotless.
3. Rinse the tank – Using cold water, wash out the unclean water collected during the cleaning operation. Because you’ll be washing again later in the cleaning process, you don’t need to go as thorough this time.
4. Bleach the interior – Use your bleach solution (1 tablespoon of bleach for every gallon of water) to scrub the interior of the tank. During this step, you should wear disposable gloves and eye protection. Again, you can do this with your hands, but you must ensure you can reach every tank surface. The best tool for the job is a pressure washer, but you may also use a floor mop with an adjustable handle—whatever works for you.
5. Let the solution sit – To disinfect the tank sufficiently, you’ll want to let the bleach solution sit for at least two hours. This will eliminate any unresolved bacteria or microbial pollutants.
6. Optional: Clean the water supply lines – Your home’s water pipes may also be dirty. You can clean more than your Cleaning Water Tank by running your taps with the bleach solution. You can use a pump to move the key from the tank to the water supply and the rest of your home’s lines.
7. Rinse out the tank – After the bleach has done its job, it’s time to rinse it. Because bleach is dangerous and should not be used in drinking water, you should be as thorough as possible. As a result, be sure that no bleach is left behind. If you run part of the solution through your water pipes, run hot water through your taps. Continue cleaning or running the water until all soap or bleach bubbles have vanished.
8. Optional: Refill the tank partially – Now that the tank has been cleaned, sanitized, and washed of the bleach solution, fill it with potable drinking water.
9. Optional: Measure chlorine levels – To ensure there’s no more bleach in the system, use chlorine test strips to test the water supply lines. You can proceed to the final stage if the levels are minor. If the chlorine levels are too high, go back to step 7 and rinse the inside until the levels are lower.
10. Refill the tank- Now that the tank has been cleaned, sanitized, and washed free of the bleach solution, you can fill it up to the brim with drinkable drinking water.
