300.000 Gallon
Sediment Being Removed
From 300,000 gallon drinking water tower.
The water storage tanks and towers you see around your city or town are the last stop for drinking water on its way to your tap. By the time the water enters the storage tank it has been processed through filter media or other forms of treatment to meet EPA standards. Over years of service, sediment builds up in water storage tanks and towers. One particle at a time, from a half to three inches is a common amount of build up over several years. This sediment that gathers on the bottom of the tank floor is seldom thought about. Out of sight and out of mind, it lays undisturbed becoming a welcoming habitat for bacteria, protozoa and even viruses. . .
Sediment under Microscope
A close up of the sediment under a 4x microscope did not reveal any moving contaminates, but still, nothing you would want to drink. . . . .
Sediment water under a 40X microscope
. . . However, under a 40x microscope we could see the movement of microorganisms. Removing the sediment from the floor of the tank removed the habitat that these microbes were able to live in. Now chlorine will keep the drinking water fresh and pure, free from bacteria and other living contaminants. . . . . This is raw video of what we found with our 40X electronic microscope. For more information on water tank cleaning visit my commercial web site at http://www.ronperrin.com One of our divers thought he had something important to say from the top of a water storage tank we were cleaning. He made this video and put it online. A little rough, a little crude, but he makes a good point.

A great article, it is really important to make sure water testing is done. The results that you get from it really can help to determine if you are effecting the environment in any way. Water is our life source so it is so important that we make sure that it is safe.
