Why Is Water Tank Cleaning Important?
Water tanks are vulnerable to bacterial growth, particularly Legionella, which can cause severe respiratory infections, including Legionnaires’ disease. Cleaning and disinfecting your water tanks is essential for preventing health risks and ensuring compliance with water hygiene regulations. Remember, drinking water is good for the body and helps push out other toxins that have entered your body through your diet (for more info on diets, consider this article on water and the impact it has in dealing with hay fever for example). If a person is not able to consume water because the water tank is dirty, then it can be harmful to their overall health.
How Does Legionella Develop in Water Tanks?
Legionella bacteria proliferate when certain conditions are met:
- Stagnant Water: If water remains unused for long periods, bacteria can multiply rapidly.
- Sediment & Scale Build-Up: Bacteria feed on organic matter, making uncleaned tanks a breeding ground.
- Temperature Range: Legionella thrives between 20°C and 45°C. Effective temperature control and regular cleaning help mitigate this risk.
Can Anyone Clean the Water Tank?
While property managers can perform basic maintenance, professional cleaning and disinfection require specialist expertise. Green Water Services follows the British Standard BS8558 for water system disinfection, ensuring thorough and compliant cleaning.
Our testing procedures include:
- Total viable counts (TVC) at 22°C and 37°C
- Coliform bacteria testing
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa detection
- Legionella species analysis
- Disinfection residual testing

Upon completion, we issue an official disinfection certificate for your records.
When Should You Schedule Water Tank Cleaning?
If you’re unsure whether your water tank requires cleaning, a Legionella risk assessment is the best starting point. This involves:
- A complete inspection of your water system
- Temperature checks with UKAS-approved thermometers
