Clean water tanks ensure healthy safe water for your family. Riyadh conditions require regular tank cleaning every 6 to 12 months.
Why tank cleaning matters: Sediment and minerals accumulate in tanks over time. Riyadh water contains particles settling at tank bottom. Algae can grow in tanks exposed to sunlight. Bacteria multiply in dirty tanks creating health risks. Regular cleaning removes all contamination ensuring clean water.
Our cleaning process: We start by draining the tank completely. All water pumps out safely. Then we enter the tank scrubbing walls, floor, and ceiling. Special brushes remove stubborn deposits. We remove all sediment and debris. High pressure washing cleans every surface. Disinfectant treatment kills bacteria and algae. Finally, we rinse thoroughly removing all cleaning products. The tank refills with fresh clean water.
Signs your tank needs cleaning: Cloudy or discolored water coming from taps indicates dirty tank. Bad smell or taste means contamination. Visible sediment in water shows tank buildup. Low water pressure sometimes results from clogged pipes from tank debris. Any of these signs mean immediate cleaning needed.
Cleaning frequency: Most Riyadh homes need cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Homes with older tanks need more frequent service. Tanks in direct sunlight require cleaning more often. We recommend setting a regular cleaning schedule. This prevents health problems and maintains water quality.
New construction and tank replacement need professional installation. Proper setup ensures reliable water storage.
Tank types we install: Overhead tanks mounted on roofs or elevated structures. Gravity provides water pressure to fixtures. These are most common in Riyadh homes. Underground tanks store large volumes at ground level. Pumps move water up to home. Polyethylene plastic tanks resist corrosion and last long. Fiberglass tanks handle higher pressures. Stainless steel tanks provide premium quality.
Installation process: We start by assessing your water needs. Family size and fixture count determine tank size. Location selection considers structural support and access. Overhead tanks need strong roof support. We install proper mounting to prevent movement. Inlet and outlet connections install correctly. Overflow pipe prevents tank overfilling. The float valve controls automatic filling. We test the entire system ensuring proper operation.
Tank sizing: Small apartments need 500 to 1,000 liter tanks. Medium villas require 1,500 to 2,500 liters. Large villas need 3,000 to 5,000 liters. Proper sizing prevents running out of water. Oversized tanks cost more and waste space. We calculate requirements accurately.
Existing tanks sometimes need repairs extending their useful life.
Common tank problems: Leaking tanks waste water and damage property. Cracks in plastic tanks grow over time. Corroded fittings drip constantly. Damaged float valves cause overflow. Broken outlet connections reduce pressure.
Repair services: Small cracks in plastic tanks can be sealed. Fiberglass patches work well. Large cracks require tank replacement. Corroded fittings get replaced with quality parts. Float valve replacement fixes overflow problems. Outlet pipe repairs restore proper pressure. Sediment removal improves water quality.
When replacement makes sense: Tanks over 15 years old often need replacement. Multiple cracks indicate structural failure. Severe corrosion cannot be repaired safely. Undersized tanks for current needs justify upgrading. We assess conditions honestly recommending repair or replacement.
Proper water pressure throughout your home depends on correctly sized working pumps.
Pump types we install: Centrifugal pumps are most common for home use. They move water efficiently at steady pressure. Submersible pumps are installed inside wells or underground tanks. These push water up from deep sources. Booster pumps increase pressure in low pressure areas. Pressure tanks maintain steady flow reducing pump cycling.
Selecting the right pump: Pump size depends on several factors. We calculate total fixture units in your home. Vertical distance from pump to highest fixture matters. Pipe diameter affects required pressure. Water usage patterns determine flow rate needed. We size pumps accurately, preventing problems.
Installation process: We start with proper location selection. Pumps need protection from weather. Ventilation prevents overheating. Foundation or mounting provides stability. Electrical connection provides power with proper protection. Inlet pipe connects to the water source. Outlet connects to home supply. Pressure switch controls automatic operation. Pressure gauge shows system status. We test the complete system ensuring proper pressure throughout the home.
Pumps eventually need repairs to maintain reliable operation.
Common pump problems: Pump not starting indicates electrical or mechanical problems. We check the power supply first. Faulty pressure switches need replacement. Motor problems require professional repair.
Pump running constantly means pressure switch failure or leaks in the system. Leaking pipes prevent pressure buildup. Faulty switches need adjustment or replacement.
Low water pressure despite the running pump indicates worn impeller or clogged intake. We inspect and clean or replace worn parts.
Noisy operation means bearing wear or loose mounting. Proper lubrication helps. Secure mounting eliminates vibration noise.
Repair or replace decision: Pumps under 5 years usually benefit from repairs. Simple problems fix easily and cheaply. Pumps over 10 years approaching the end of life often need replacement. Motor failure in old pumps justifies new pumps. We provide honest assessment helping you decide.
Pressure tanks work with pumps providing steady water flow.
How pressure tanks work: Tanks store water under pressure. This reduces pump cycling, extending pump life. Steady pressure prevents fixture flow variations. Proper tank sizing matches pump capacity.
Installation and maintenance: We install pressure tanks near pumps. Proper sizing prevents frequent pump operation. Pre charge pressure sets correctly for your system. Air charge maintains over time with occasional adjustment.
Tank maintenance includes checking air pressure annually. Bladder tanks eventually need bladder replacement. Older style tanks need air recharge. We service all pressure tank types.
