Do you have issues with Dirty or Cloudy Water in your home or work place ?
Depending on your type of plumbing installation, there could be multiple causes for these issues.
A prime suspect (that keeps us busy) is dirty cold water storage cisterns aka cold water loft tanks.
The main cause is neglect – nobody really ever thinks about these tanks/cisterns and over the years, the tank lids get removed and not put back on, or knocked leaving the tank open to dirt and debris from the loft, if the tank is really old it may be made of galvanised steel which rusts and is the main cause of orange dirty cloudy water.
The stored water in these plastic or metal water tanks is NOT Potable drinking water, it is used for filling the toilet/WC cistern and also supplies cold water to your bath/shower and wash hand basin, so the water is used for washing, bathing and cleaning your teeth.
