Water tank cleanouts

After pulling strings of plastic from pump screen multiple times I decided that the techs that drilled tank left debris inside tank.
I drilled 4 1/2 holes in tank and vacuumed out tank. I noticed that there was a fine layer of slime even after bleaching tank a few times a year. Now I am able to reach in and scrub tank inside and completely allow tank to dry while not in use. These are the parts I used and just used silicone to hold them in.

It looks as if you had quite a job getting to your tank...

When it comes to the guts of my tank: I'll take the "ignorance is bliss" approach...

Me too. We don’t drink or cook with tank water anyway.

We don’t cook with or drink tank water either, but the thought of showering and washing dishes in it grossed me out. I am a plumber, so if something makes me uncomfortable its gotta be bad. Hahahahaha

Wow that’s a lot of impressive work. I am in the ignorance crowd. We used bottle water for just about everything but that’s a nice modification.
