Brilio.net - A water tank or tower is an important component for storing water reserves at home. Its function is to ensure that the bathtub is always filled and save electricity because it reduces the need to turn on the pump repeatedly.
Generally, water towers are made of polyethylene or fiberglass plastic that is rust and leak-proof. However, over time, the surface of the tower can become dirty and mossy.
Moss forms when the tower is exposed to direct sunlight and interacts with oxygen. If left untreated, moss will grow and potentially block the water flow or even become a place for worms to grow.
But don't worry, because brilio.net has an easy way to clean mossy water towers. In fact, you don't even need to go inside the tower to clean it.
Reporting from the YouTube account asep zaloe, Friday (11/4), to clean the tower you only need one cake-making ingredient, namely citrun. The high acid content in citrun can help remove dirt and moss on the surface of the water tower. In addition, citrun can also provide a fresh aroma to the water.

First, pour water into an empty bird spray bottle. Fill the bottle to about 1 liter. Then, put one pack of citrun into the bottle. Before use, stir it first so that the citrun solution is evenly mixed.

However, first drain the water in the tower until it runs out. The purpose of this draining is so that the dirt in the water can be immediately disposed of.
After that, spray the surface of the tower using the citrun solution that has been prepared earlier. Make sure all areas of the tower are sprayed so that it is thoroughly clean.

Then, let it sit for 15 minutes to make sure the dirt on the surface of the tower is dissolved by the citrun. For maximum results, you can clean the remaining dirt with a mop. Later, you will see cloudy water which means the dirt and moss on the tower have fallen off.

Then, rinse the inside of the tower using clean water. Also make sure that all parts of the inside of the tower are exposed to water so that it is completely clean.
Once the inside surface of the tower is clean, don't forget to throw away the rinse water. Use a ladle and bucket to throw away the remaining rinse water if the water cannot be thrown away through the drain in the tower.

Once the inside of the tower is completely clean, return the water pump sensor to its original position. Then, refill the tower with water as usual. Don't forget to close the water tower, so that dirt from outside does not enter the tower.

Towers are not cheap items. Not only that, this shelter is very much needed so the quality of the tower should be good. Even in 10 years you only need 1 purchase. So before buying it in a store, there are several things you can pay attention to.
1. Choose the right material, there are several available tower materials such as fiberglass, stainless steel, and PE plastic. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, the price also varies depending on the type of material. Stainless steel towers are usually more expensive, but more durable and long-lasting.
2. Choose the right tank volume. Water towers have various tank volumes. Ideally, each person needs 233 liters/day. You can multiply it by the total number of people in the house and adjust it to the tank capacity that must be purchased.
3. Choose dimensions that fit the area of the house. If the capacity has been considered, the dimensions or area of the area to be placed for the tower need to be prepared.
