Project Report on AUTOMATIC OVERHEAD WATER TANK CLEANING SYSTEM

Abstract

ABSTRACT The change in climatic conditions and geographical features leads to the changes of water quality parameters inside the tank. With the passage of time, sediments get deposited on walls, ceiling and floor of the water tank. This contamination makes the water unfit for use. Hence water tank cleaning is important. In current scenario, cleaning of overhead tanks manually is a tedious job especially in households or buildings where the residents are ladies or older peoples. The objective of this project is to develop an automatic system for cleaning the overhead water tanks. As periodic cleaning is sufficient in this case, the system uses a count value, thus assuring the period has reached. It is done by counting the number of times the tank fills. If the period has reached, the system ensures the requirement of cleaning by measuring turbidity. Pressurized water through a nozzle arrangement is the technique adapted here for cleaning.
