Is there any norm defined for the water tank (Fire safety water tank) cleaning schedule?

Jagjeet, I don't know how often to clean the water tank in India, but I can offer a suggestion based on my experience. According to the code of fire prevention in China, our contractor must conduct a thorough inspection and testing of the fire facilities around our plant annually. This includes the sprinkler system, alarms, fire extinguishers, outdoor hydrant system, and of course, the water storage tank as you mentioned. We coordinate with the local fire department to protect the property during the tank drainage. The contractor enters the tank to clean it under the Confined Space Program. If you are a customer of FM Global Insurance, you must comply with the Red Tag Permit from the local FM company.

Best regards,
Michael Zhang

Dear Jagjit,

There are no specific norms that I am aware of regarding this issue. However, cleaning the tank can be done every six months due to the smell and fungi present in the water.
