Water tank sterilization in Al Taysir Makkah
Al Taysir is a modern quarter west of the Sacred Mosque with tall hotel towers and multi-storey apartment blocks serving Umrah visitors and residents. Tanks here are relatively new but face intense daily pressure from heavy continuous use. Modern pipes may be clean but sediment accumulates rapidly under high demand for water.
-
Potable-rated materials
Linings and disinfectants cleared for drinking water tanks, not general-purpose products.
-
You get the downtime first
How many hours the tank is out of service, told before we start rather than after we finish.
-
A first-draw flush
We run the first draw off after refilling, and the tank is not handed back until the water runs clear.
-
Ground and roof tanks
Villas, apartment blocks and premises that need a written record of each visit.
Why the job is different in Al Taysir
Tanks are relatively modern but very high daily use means water moves constantly and sediment accumulates rapidly. The method is set out in full on what Water tank sterilization involves.
Tall hotel towers with tanks on upper floors and roofs
Hotel towers in Al Taysir reach 15 or 20 storeys with tanks sited on roofs or upper levels. Tanks operate under high water pressure to lift water to upper floors and distant apartments, causing faster wear.
Heavy daily consumption from hotels and apartment blocks
Hotels and apartment blocks in Al Taysir consume thousands of cubic metres of water daily. Tanks fill and empty repeatedly each day, and sediment accumulates with each water cycle.
Modern pipes but under continuous high pressure
Most pipes in Al Taysir are relatively modern and good quality. But continuous high water pressure causes slow metal fatigue and wear, releasing fine metal particles.
The character of Al Taysir
Apartment district: residential blocks, repeated floors and shared entrances
A modern quarter with tall hotels and apartment blocks means tanks operate under severe continuous water pressure. Treatment must account for modern pressure and distribution systems and address metal corrosion issues from constant pressure.
What we read inside the tank before anything starts
A modern residential quarter west of the Sacred Mosque bounded by Umm Al Qura Road to the south and Al Taysir Street to the east, with tall hotel towers and apartment blocks for families and Umrah visitors, along with shops and restaurants lining Al Taysir Street.
Sediment on the floor
Fine metal sediment from high-pressure pipe corrosion settles slowly at the tank base and in corners.
The slime film on the wall
Bacteria and green algae may grow even in modern tanks if areas are stagnant or temperatures are high.
Light and heat
Water intake may carry fine metal particles from pipe corrosion caused by continuous pressure.
The lining and any cracking
Humidity is very high but the main issue is continuous high water pressure causing metal fatigue.
The lid and the openings
The tank may contain light mineral deposits or algae in remote corners, requiring high pressure washing but carefully tuned to avoid damaging the modern tank.
What shows up at the tap
Post-sterilization inspection includes water colour check from first and last outlets, water pressure measurement and assessment of remaining sediment.
How we work
-
1
Inspect and record the condition
We open the hatch and work through what the tank is made of and how big it is, how deep the sediment lies, the state of the lining, whether the lid and the overflow seal, and whether there is a crack that has to be repaired before any sterilizing.
-
2
Drain and lift the sediment out
The water goes out, then the silt and sand are lifted off the floor by suction rather than pushed toward the outlet, because pushing them sends them into the house pipework and the heater.
-
3
High pressure wash
Walls, floor, corners and the area around the outlet, until the slime film is completely gone. This is the step that makes the sterilizing after it mean anything.
-
4
Sterilize, rinse, then return to service
The sterilizing agent goes onto the walls, the floor and the underside of the lid and is left for its contact time, then we rinse, refill and run the furthest tap until the whole line is clear.
What water tank sterilization includes
-
A recorded inspection
Material, capacity, sediment depth, the state of the lining, the lid and the overflow, all before any work begins.
-
Draining and sediment removal
The water out, and the silt and sand lifted off the floor instead of being pushed into the outlet and the house pipework.
-
High pressure washing
Walls, corners and around the outlet, until the biofilm that no disinfectant penetrates has gone.
-
Sterilizing the internal surfaces
A sterilizing agent meant for drinking water tanks, applied to the walls, the floor and the underside of the lid, and left for its contact time.
-
Line flush and aftercare
Rinse, refill and a flush from the furthest tap, when the water is usable again, and what to change in the filter afterwards.
-
The next cycle
We agree the right interval for your tank from how it is filled, how much sun it takes and the condition of the lid.
What is different about Al Ghazza Sub-Municipality
Al Ghazza sub municipality wraps around the north and west of the Grand Mosque, from Al Shamiyah, Al Qararah and Shaib Amir round to Jarwal and Al Taysir. Large tracts were cleared for the northern expansion and the Rua Al Haram scheme, leaving excavated ground and open construction sites beside ageing blocks that now serve as dense seasonal lodgings in Jarwal and Al Taysir. Old flood paths still fall from Jabal Qaiqaan and Jabal Khandamah towards the mosque, and markets and eateries crowd Al Masjid Al Haram Road and Umm Al Qura Road.
Questions about this district
Do modern tanks in Al Taysir need sterilization like old tanks?
Yes. Modern tanks provide a home for bacteria just as old tanks do. Heavy use and high water pressure cause wear and release fine metal particles.
Does high tank pressure affect water quality?
High pressure may cause slow corrosion of pipes and the tank itself. Released metals may show in water taste or colour.
How many times a year should a hotel tank in Al Taysir be sterilized?
Large hotels in Al Taysir may need sterilization every 3 or 4 months due to very high use. Residential buildings may need once or twice yearly.
Does tank treatment stop water problems from high pressure?
Treatment removes current bacteria and sediment. But if pressure is too high, the whole system needs inspection and may need a pressure regulator installed.
Do modern tanks trap bacteria like old tanks?
Modern tanks usually have better design and smooth walls. But bacteria grow in any tank if temperature suits and water pools in corners.
Should pipes be inspected when sterilizing a tank in Al Taysir?
Yes. Pipes are under continuous high pressure and may release metals. Pipe and tap inspection helps identify whether larger problems exist.
How much does water tank sterilization in Al Taysir cost?
It is set after the inspection, because the price follows the type of infestation, the size of the space, how far it has spread and the number of visits it needs. Send a photo and a description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Taysir.
