Water Tank & Tower Inspections
Since 1997 Ron Perrin Water Technologies has served the water utility industry providing state of the art inspections with remote underwater cameras. Our inspection reports are the best in the industry covering all STATE REQUIREMENTS for water tank & tower inspection and meeting all AWWA guidelines.
We cover over 30 inspection points. Our digital photography documents the condition of your tank, our narrated underwater video lets you see first hand what the inside roof walls and floor areas of the tank look like.
We offer the most choices for your inspection needs,
* Diver inspection for the most detail
* ROV – Remotely controlled underwater vehicle
(specially designed for potable water use)
* Remote underwater video camera
(our most popular inspection, includes digital photos & narrated underwater DVD for the lowest cost).
* Basic inspection- no video no photos. To meet state regulations for minimal cost.
If there is a deep sediment build up we offer a underwater cleaning service. Using certified divers and special equipment we are able to remove the sediment in the floor of the tank with minimal water loss and no disruption in service. Unlike other diving companies who make their money offshore and work in the water utility industry part time, serving water utilities is 100% of our business!
Our gear is purchase for and only used in potable water.
Diving in potable water is an art. Unlike offshore divers, potable water divers must be able to enter the water system without disrupting sediment on the floor of the tanks, Our divers are sealed in a dry suit so no part of their body touches the water. They are then washed down with a 200ppm chlorine solution to meet AWWA and state standards. The diver is then free to go into the confined space inside the water storage tanks, underwater the diver can do a more detailed inspection or clean the loose sediment from the floor of the tank. See www.tankdiver.us for more details.
We have serviced over 500 customers that include municipal governments, utility districts towns, communities, prisons, military bases and universities. Our customers all have a few things in common they want the most information for the lowest cost with no disruption in there water system.

The value of clean public drinking water
By Ron Perrin, Fort Worth Texas
Although we have come to take it for granted, there is nothing as valuable a fresh water. In simple terms it provides life. Our life. Our generation and in many cases for many generations Americans have enjoyed fresh clean healthy water right out of a tap. Getting a drink of water from the kitchen sink or bathroom before you go to bed is something that is seldom thought about. It wasn’t always that way. Here in the west bloody range wars were fought over water rights. Water has been fought over since ancient bible times. In the future many say it will become more valuable than gold because there is only so much on the planet and atmospheric changes could change the amount of h20 that is fresh and consumable.
For now we must maintain what we have, make it last and keep it healthy. That is what this blog is about. Our public water systems are aging. Some modern looking water towers are now 50 years old. All water storage tanks & towers should be inspected yearly to confirm that the inside wter storage area is clean and free from the build up of sediment that can harbor harmful and sometimes deadly contaminates.
I invite you to read these articles about inspecting, cleaning and maintaining water storage tanks. Here you will find ideas and answers of how you can maintain a healthy water system regardless of its age while at the same time saving money, time and possibly more important fresh drinking water.
