Clean Water = Healthy Life. But How Often Should You Clean Your Tank?
n a fast-paced city like Bengaluru, people focus on everything — except their water tanks. Whether it’s an overhead tank or an underground sump, stored water can quickly become unsafe if tanks aren’t cleaned regularly.
At Universal Groups, we’ve helped hundreds of families and apartments across Bengaluru maintain water purity with scheduled tank cleaning. But how often is “regular”?
Let’s break it down.
Why Bengaluru’s Climate Demands Frequent Tank Cleaning
Moderate temperatures and humidity = ideal for algae, slime, and bacteria growth
Frequent power cuts = stagnant water for hours
Borewell water = more iron, dust, and sediment than Cauvery supply
Monsoons = tank overflows, rainwater entry, and contamination
This means your tanks — both underground and overhead — need a cleaning schedule based on usage and water source.
Tank Cleaning Frequency Guide
| Type of Property | Recommended Cleaning Frequency |
|---|---|
| Individual Homes | Every 4 to 6 months |
| Apartments | Every 3 to 4 months |
| Offices/Commercial Units | Every 2 to 3 months |
| Hospitals/Clinics | Every 2 months |
| Schools/Colleges | Every 3 months |
What Happens If You Delay Cleaning?
Dirty, foul-smelling water
Increased risk of waterborne diseases (cholera, typhoid)
Clogged pipes and damaged water filters
Appliance wear and tear (geysers, washing machines)
Mold growth in bathrooms and kitchens
