Provincial Tank Lining and Inspections Inc. - Domestic Hot Water Storage Tank Maintenance
First off...let me say that Clemmer Domestic Hot Water Storage Tanks are some of the best in the business but even Cadillac's need oil changes.
Today's image is from an Internal Service completed on a 2012, Clemmer Domestic Hot Water Storage Tank. This tank was located in Greater Vancouver, BC.
Note the extensive sediment, biofilm and corrosion found within this vessel. This is their potable water source for drinking and bathing.
Domestic Hot Water Storage Tanks with manways should be inspected annually, have their anodes replaced every 1 - 3 years and the tanks should be relined with Pre-Krete T-61 (CSA approved for use in potable water) every 8 - 12 years to insure a safe, extended servicing life and to mitigate waterborne pathogens.
A 'Pro-Active Maintenance Strategy' will protect you and your clients from unwanted/extended downtimes, large capital expenses associated with repairs/replacement and will mitigate waterborne pathogens.
When running a 'Reactive Maintenance Strategy' repairs and replacement can be in excess of $100,000.00 with unwanted downtimes of 2 weeks plus. That's 2 weeks without hot water. A "Preventative Maintenance Strategy" will cost less than 1/10th the price of repairs/replacement, improve water quality and will allow for planned shut downs.
Call Provincial Tank Lining and Inspections for more information and/or to discuss a preventative maintenance plan for the Domestic Hot Water Storage Tanks in your portfolio.
