Why do tanks in Al Baha get dirty faster?
Al Baha is among the rainiest parts of the Kingdom, and most of its homes store water in a concrete ground tank filled from the network, tankers or wells. That tank sits below ground where floodwater runs, so any crack or loose lid lets in rainwater, silt and leaves. In the Tihama lowlands, heat adds algae in rooftop tanks.
| Condition | Effect on the tank | What is done |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy rain and floods | Silt and dirty water enter through the lid and cracks | A tight lid and a sealed tank |
| Winter cold | Concrete contracts and expands, widening cracks | The sealing checked after each winter |
| Tanker and well water | Sediment and salts on the floor | Sediment removal and an inlet filter |
| Tihama heat | Algae in rooftop tanks | Cleaning every 4 months and shading |
Tank types and how each is cleaned
| Type | Method |
|---|---|
| Concrete ground tank | Sediment removed, walls scrubbed, cracks and sealing checked |
| Fibreglass rooftop tank | Medium-pressure washing without scratching the inner layer |
| Plastic rooftop tank | Washed and scrubbed with a soft brush; light gets in, so algae grow |
| Steel tank | Rust removed, then washed, with the inner coating checked |
| Stainless steel | Washed without concentrated chlorine products |
| Large farm tanks | Emptied in stages, with large volumes of silt removed |
How a tank is washed and disinfected
- Valves and pump closed: with enough water kept for the household.
- Emptying: by submersible pump, drained away from the foundations.
- Sediment removal: silt and sand from the floor.
- Scrubbing walls, floor and ceiling: with brushes and pressurised water.
- Disinfection: with a chlorine-based product made for drinking-water tanks, left for the time it needs.
- Final rinse: until the smell of disinfectant is gone.
- Check: cracks, sealing, lid, float valve and valves.
- Refilling: with the water checked for clarity and smell before handover.
Tank sealing in Al Baha
In a region with heavy rain, sealing is what keeps drinking water apart from floodwater. An unsealed tank leaks into the soil and takes in rainwater carrying silt. Sealing starts from SAR 278.
| Type | What it is | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Cementitious | Two coats of a cement-based material that seals the pores | A sound concrete tank |
| Epoxy | A hard, smooth, non-absorbent coating, safe for drinking water | Higher protection and easy cleaning |
| Combined | Cementitious, then epoxy | Old tanks with many cracks |
| Thermal, for rooftop tanks | An insulating jacket or shade | Tihama and sun-exposed roofs |
Leak detection and repair
A high water bill or more tanker loads than usual is the first sign. Before anything is broken open, a simple test is run: the valves and pump are closed, the water level is marked and checked after 24 hours. A drop with everything shut means the leak is in the tank; no drop means it is in the house pipes. Cracks are injected and sealed, pipe entries reinforced, and faulty float valves and lids replaced.
