Equipment for cleaning HDPE and Masonary Tanks

Question

Can somebody out here advise on how we can get equipment for cleaning masonary or HDPE tanks which on receiving rain water over time develops a layer of silt which makes water unacceptable for various uses. Best Regards P.W.Karani

I do not think you need special tools, equipment or expertize. You may just need a young man with a long broom, ladder, containers (like a bucket, basin, bowel/cup, etc) and disinfectant (chlorine powder).

Try to "Google" what is available in your area for "swimming pool vac cleaner". 
I would not be too concerned about some silt in a rainwater tank - maybe only if it was from organic material. Is there a bacterial water quality problem? Or is it an aesthetic issue?  Probably best to focus on disinfection.

I can’t remember the name but they’re used to be a robotics company that would run inside the tank with a hose hooked to it so it is very efficient in removing solids from a tank.  This was used in refineries and petro chemical plants many times. If I think of the name I will post it. Best of luck, Sean.
