Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to water tank cleaning devices. More specifically, it is an extendable cleaning device for removing contaminants from cylindrical water tanks to reduce manual effort and time expenditure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water tanks are the primary source of water storage in homes, commercial buildings, and industries. They ensure a reliable water supply for various applications. However, over time, sediment, dirt, algae, and harmful microorganisms accumulate in the tanks, which can compromise water quality and pose health risks. This contaminated water can encourage the colonization of disease-transmitting mosquitoes. Therefore, cleaning the water tank is necessary. Waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and gastroenteritis are primarily caused by bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Regular cleaning can eliminate these potential hazards, secure the water supply, and prevent the spread of waterborne diseases.

[0003] Manual cleaning carries the risk of contact with harmful bacteria, viruses, algae, and other contaminants. Workers can wear gloves, masks, and protective clothing to avoid direct contact, but this is not possible for day laborers. Improper handling of cleaning chemicals can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and accidental poisoning. Manual cleaning can lead to falls, slips, or other physical injuries. Inhaling dust or spores can cause respiratory problems. On the other hand, water tanks can be slippery and cause serious injuries. Manual cleaning tools may include sharp objects or brushes that can cause cuts, punctures, or other injuries. There is currently no equipment on the market that can easily and cost-effectively clean the variously sized, cylindrical tanks.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a water tank cleaning device for removing contaminants from the interior of the water tank with extendable and rotatable mechanisms to reduce manual effort and time.
