Cold Water Storage Tank Cleaning & Chlorination at a Nottingham Healthcare Facility

Location: Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Sector: Healthcare
Service: Cold Water Storage Tank Cleaning & Chlorination
Equipment: Cold Water Storage Tank

Project Overview

NT Cloke Pumps & Water recently completed a comprehensive cold water storage tank cleaning and chlorination project at a healthcare facility in Nottingham.

The work involved thoroughly cleaning both the internal and external surfaces of the water storage tank, removing accumulated staining and deposits before carrying out chlorination.

Maintaining clean water storage tanks is particularly important in healthcare environments, where effective water hygiene management plays a vital role in supporting safe building operations.

Our engineers attended the facility to complete the cleaning and disinfection works, helping the site maintain its water storage infrastructure.

The Challenge

Addressing Build-Up Inside a Cold Water Storage Tank

Over time, cold water storage tanks can accumulate sediment, deposits and staining, particularly when regular inspection and cleaning are not undertaken.

At this Nottingham healthcare facility, visible staining and build-up had developed across sections of the tank’s internal surfaces.

These conditions can create potential water hygiene concerns, as accumulated deposits may provide environments where microorganisms can develop.

For healthcare facilities, maintaining clean water storage systems is an important part of managing water hygiene risks, including those associated with Legionella bacteria.

The objective was to thoroughly clean the tank, remove visible deposits and complete chlorination before returning the system to service.

The Solution

Comprehensive Water Tank Cleaning & Chlorination

Our engineers carried out a thorough cleaning programme, addressing both the internal tank surfaces and the external areas of the installation.

The work included:

✅ Tank Drain Down – Draining the storage tank to provide access to the internal surfaces.

✅ Internal Tank Cleaning – Thoroughly cleaning the internal walls and floor to remove accumulated deposits and staining.

✅ External Tank Cleaning – Cleaning the external surfaces to improve the overall condition of the installation.

✅ Removal of Build-Up – Addressing visible deposits and contamination-related build-up within the tank.

✅ Tank Chlorination – Completing the chlorination process following cleaning.

✅ Return to Service – Returning the cleaned and chlorinated tank to operation.

The before-and-after photographs clearly demonstrate the improvement achieved, with previously stained surfaces left visibly cleaner following the works.

The Result

A Cleaner Water Storage Tank for a Healthcare Environment

Following completion of the cleaning and chlorination works, the cold water storage tank was returned to service.

The transformation was clearly visible, with significant staining and deposits removed from the internal surfaces.

Cleaning the external areas also improved the overall appearance and condition of the installation.

Key benefits of the completed works included:

• Removal of visible staining and accumulated deposits.
• Improved cleanliness of internal tank surfaces.
• Completion of tank chlorination.
• Improved external tank condition.
• Support for the facility’s ongoing water hygiene management.
• Reduced potential for deposits to contribute to future water hygiene issues.

The completed project demonstrates the importance of maintaining cold water storage tanks through appropriate inspection, cleaning and disinfection.

Why Regular Water Tank Cleaning Matters in Healthcare Facilities

Healthcare buildings often have complex water distribution systems, making effective water hygiene management particularly important.

Cold water storage tanks form a key part of these systems, supplying stored water to various areas of a building.

Without appropriate maintenance, sediment, biofilm and other deposits can accumulate, potentially affecting water hygiene.

Regular tank inspections, cleaning and chlorination, where required by the site’s risk assessment and maintenance programme, can help facilities managers maintain water storage systems and manage associated risks.

For healthcare facilities, this forms part of a wider approach to water hygiene management and Legionella risk control.
