Required Domestic Hot Water Storage Tank Maintenance

Provincial Tank Lining and Inspections Inc. - Domestic Hot Water Storage Tank Maintenance

Below are the required maintenance steps to ensure a safe, extended servicing life for Domestic Hot Water Storage Tanks with Manways and to mitigate waterborne pathogens that develop within these vessels.

• Annual Internal Inspections
• Replace Anodes every 1-3 years
• Every 1-15 years have the Domestic Hot Water Storage Tank Relined with CSA approved Pre-Krete Tankliner 61 (T-61) by Certified Technicians to ensure a proper application.

I can't reiterate enough the importance of maintenance on these vessels.  Tanks this size are usually found in a penthouse or basement boiler room, the room is built around the vessel making it extremely difficult and very costly for the vessel to be replaced.

The cost to maintain an existing DHWST with manway is a fraction of the cost of replacement, the numbers we see on average are between 1/5 to 1/10 the cost of replacement due to tank failure, the damage as a result of tank failure then the retrofit.

If you manage one of these pressure vessels...there is only one right decision, maintain what you have.  Maintaining the existing tank is the most cost effective and environmentally friendly solution that allows for a planned downtime.

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.
