Our service is available for homes, apartment buildings, restaurants, cafés, hotels, offices and commercial properties across Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Famagusta and surrounding areas.
What is professional water tank cleaning?
Professional water tank cleaning involves draining the tank, physically removing accessible sediment and deposits, cleaning internal surfaces, rinsing, disinfecting and preparing the tank for normal operation. Depending on the installation, treatment of connected pipework may also form part of the agreed scope.
- Complete internal cleaning: Draining, sediment removal, surface cleaning, rinsing and disinfection.
- Chlorine dioxide disinfection: Used for microbiological control in applicable water-tank and water-system treatments.
- Residential & commercial: Homes, apartment buildings, hotels, restaurants, offices and other premises.
- Prevention solutions: Filtration and other appropriate water-treatment options can be considered after cleaning.
Common Water Tank Problems We Solve in Cyprus
Water storage tanks across Cyprus can accumulate sediment, sludge, deposits and other contamination over time. Tanks with poor maintenance history, limited access or long periods between cleaning can require more extensive physical cleaning before disinfection.
🧫 Sediment in the Tank
Fine sand, dirt, rust particles and mineral deposits can settle at the bottom of storage tanks. Physical cleaning removes accessible accumulated material.
🌊 Cloudy or Discoloured Water
Accumulated sediment or contamination in a storage tank can contribute to cloudy or discoloured water. Inspection helps identify whether the tank requires cleaning.
🦠 Microorganisms & Biofilm
Microorganisms and biofilm can develop on surfaces within tanks and connected water systems. Physical cleaning and appropriate disinfection can form part of the control measures.
👃 Unusual Taste or Odour
Stagnant water, sediment and other contamination can contribute to unusual tastes or odours. The cause should be assessed before selecting the appropriate corrective action.
🪨 Sludge & Heavy Deposits
Long periods without maintenance can allow heavier deposits and sludge to build up on the tank floor and other accessible surfaces.
🏚️ Unknown Maintenance History
Older tanks or tanks with no clear service history may benefit from inspection so their condition and cleaning requirements can be assessed.
Why We Use Chlorine Dioxide for Water Tank Disinfection
Physical cleaning removes accessible sediment, sludge and deposits from a water tank. Disinfection is a separate stage used to help control microorganisms after cleaning and, where appropriate, may also be applied to connected parts of the water system.
WaterFilterNet uses chlorine dioxide for applicable disinfection work. The treatment method, concentration and contact time depend on the intended application, system conditions and applicable product instructions.
What is chlorine dioxide?
Chlorine dioxide is a water-treatment disinfectant used for microbiological control in a range of water-system applications. Its suitability, concentration and contact time depend on the intended use, product authorisation and treatment conditions.
It can be used in applications including water storage tanks, pipework and distribution systems. Where a product is used for drinking-water applications, it must be authorised for the relevant use and applied according to the applicable product conditions and instructions.
🦠 Microbiological Control
Chlorine dioxide is used in water-treatment applications as a disinfectant for microbiological control.
🧱 Biofilm Control
Biofilm can develop on surfaces inside tanks and pipework. Physical cleaning removes accessible deposits, while disinfection can form part of wider measures used to control microorganisms associated with biofilm.
⚙️ Controlled Application
The treatment method, concentration and contact time are selected according to the application, system conditions and applicable product instructions.
🔧 Tanks & Pipework
Where appropriate, chlorine dioxide may be used for tanks and agreed sections of connected pipework as part of a wider cleaning and disinfection procedure.

⚠️ Important Note
The exact disinfection procedure depends on tank size, water usage, system design, accessibility and site conditions. Every installation is different, so the appropriate cleaning and disinfection procedure is selected according to the individual project.
Our Water Tank Cleaning and Disinfection Process
Our service follows a structured cleaning and disinfection procedure designed to remove accessible sediment, sludge, dirt and deposits before disinfection. The exact sequence can vary according to tank size, condition, access and system design.
1️⃣ Initial Inspection
The tank is inspected to assess its condition, accessibility and visible contamination before work begins.
2️⃣ Tank Draining
The tank is drained where required to allow access to internal surfaces and accumulated material.
3️⃣ Sediment Removal
Accessible sediment, sludge, dirt and loose deposits are physically removed from the tank.
4️⃣ Internal Cleaning
Tank walls, corners and other accessible internal surfaces are cleaned to remove visible residue and deposits.
5️⃣ System Rinsing
The tank is rinsed to remove loosened material before the disinfection stage.
6️⃣ Chlorine Dioxide Disinfection
The tank is disinfected using chlorine dioxide. The treatment procedure is selected according to the application, system conditions and applicable product instructions.
7️⃣ Final Flush & Recommissioning
Following the treatment, the tank or agreed system section is flushed and returned to normal operation as appropriate for the installation.
8️⃣ Recommendations
Where relevant, we provide recommendations for filtration, maintenance, monitoring or further water-system investigation.
Concerned About Legionella?
Routine water tank cleaning and disinfection should not be confused with investigating or treating a confirmed Legionella problem. Legionella may be present in a storage tank, but it can also occur in downstream pipework, showers, taps and low-use outlets.
Professional cleaning can physically remove sediment, deposits and accessible contamination from the tank, while appropriate disinfection can help control microorganisms in the treated areas. However, tank cleaning or disinfection alone cannot guarantee the absence of Legionella or complete removal of established biofilm throughout an entire building water system.
Read our Legionella in Cyprus guide, learn about Legionella testing, or see how we approach Legionella treatment in Cyprus.
Cleaning & Disinfection Service Documentation
Following the work, customers can receive service documentation recording the cleaning and disinfection work performed and relevant treatment details where applicable. This documents the service carried out; it is not a laboratory water-quality certificate and does not certify the absence of Legionella or other microorganisms.
Professional Water Tank Cleaning, Prevention & Commercial Solutions
Professional Water Tank Cleaning vs DIY Cleaning

⚠️ Why Maintenance Matters
Sediment, sludge and deposits can build up over time. Regular inspection and appropriate cleaning can reduce heavy accumulation and make ongoing maintenance easier.
Protect Your Water Tank After Cleaning
Cleaning removes contamination and deposits already present, but it cannot prevent new sediment, dirt or rust particles from entering the system in the future. Appropriate filtration and system maintenance can help reduce future accumulation.
🚰 Filtration Before the Tank
Suitable sediment filtration before the storage tank can help reduce suspended dirt, rust particles and sediment entering the tank.
💧 Filtration After the Tank
Filtration after the tank can help capture suspended particles before the water reaches downstream plumbing and equipment.
🛡️ Additional Water Hygiene Measures
UV disinfection and other appropriate water-treatment systems can provide an additional control measure for microorganisms depending on water quality and system design.
🔧 Protect Plumbing & Equipment
Reducing suspended sediment can help protect taps, showers, boilers, heaters, washing machines, filters and other connected equipment.
