Water Tank Cleaning

[Alabex]

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has had a water tank cleaned using one of those companies that does it without draining the water? Was it good, and what was the approx cost?

Thanks

chlorine or UV light
but you need water circulation

I have 7500 l under an external stair well {very dark} and the algie is around the water feature that the tank circulates through, ie the water gets pumped up through the feature and falls through two 1 inch copper pipes back into the tank., when i had a swimming pool i toped the pool with 1lt of hydrocloric acid somthing about the ph thingy any one with a pool may help here?

as i said - chlorine
hydrochloric acid won't do anything
it was to bring the pH down
you probably had salt water chlorinator and they tend to bring it up so you need to put acid in every now and then
