Potable Dive Crew Video

Our potable water dive crew is the best way to keep water storage tanks and towers clean.

Sediment that builds up on the floor of storage facilities can be a safe habitat for bacteria protozoa and even viruses. Our dive team can keep the tanks clean with minimal water loss and no disruption in service! Check out this short video:

Our New Promotional Video

We are proud to introduce our 2021 Promotional video. This one-minute video quickly reviews our primary services. We inspect and clean potable water storage tanks and towers. We offer remote underwater camera inspections, diver inspections, diver cleaning and we use our DEEP TREKKER Submersible Robots to both inspect and clean potable water storage tanks. For more information see: http://www.ronperrin.com

Ron Perrin Water Technologies, Inc. 2021 One Minute Video.

To see more about our Deep Trakker Cleaning robot see: MEET OUR ROBOT in episode #3 of our TAP TALK Video Series.

In our Tap Talk video series, we will explore municipal drinking water systems from the inside out. Since 1997, Ron Perrin Water Technologies, Inc. has been a leader in the inspection and cleaning of water tanks and towers. We hope you enjoy this series as we take a closer look at how our water systems work and the technical skill and effort it takes to keep these facilities inspected, clean and safe. Each Tap Talk post has a new short video to watch.

For an inspection or cleaning quote, you may contact Robert Perrin at perrinsales@gmail.com, or call our office at 817-377-4899.

2021 Regional Schools

We will be at more TWUA Regional Schools this year as they get back into the swing of things. I had the pleasure of taking Caroline Perrin my wife of 37 years to the school in San Angelo on July 20th, 2021. Since 1997 our message has remained the same; Annual Water Tank Inspections are not only important, In Texas, they are required by the TCEQ. We have the best method to inspect your tanks with NO DISRUPTION IN SERVCE and NO WATER LOSS. Our underwater video camera and lighting system lets you know what is going on inside your tank. We also document all TCEQ inspection points, that include sediment levels, paint condition, man-ways, vent screen, ladders and level indicators.

If the facility needs to be cleaned; our potable water dive crew can make quick work out of removing all sediment from the floor of the tank. If you know your tanks need to be cleaned an Inspection and Cleaning proposal can save money by getting it done all on one trip. All tanks should be on some kind of cleaning schedule. Sediment on the interior floor of a water tank can be a safe habitat for bacteria and other contaminants to get a foothold in your water system and grow.

Summer is Here!

Temperatures are rising! Summer is here and boy can we feel it! Some of us have ways to beat the heat but one thing we all have is WATER! It fills the pools, cools us down, and can quench our thirst!

It would be nice if all water was safe from bacteria and viruses. But the truth is that as the water demand increases, the more tanks and tower will be refilled from it sources. Just a little sediment can become a big problem. If left in a tank or tower sediment can be a breeding ground for many microbes, bacteria, and viruses. So with summer here the temperatures can play a big role on whether or not you water is safe from these breeding bacteria.

Just an increase of TEN degrees can double the speed of the bacteria growth! So as we begin to see new record high temperatures it is even more important that we try to keep tanks and towers clean of sediment.

Removing sediment from potable water tanks and towers can also help utilities use less chlorine. Since cleaning tanks and towers of sediment, our customers have found that their chlorine costs are reduced because the chlorine is no longer losing the war with the bacteria and microbes that were growing in the sediment.

The fact is removing the sediment from your water tank may prevent a disaster before it can ever start. Do not have the mind set of “out of sight and out of mind.” If an accumulation of sediment is found, don’t think of it as “just a little dirt.” Know that it is a place that can allow contaminants to compromise the entire water supply and the health of the community.

 

 

Divers are the best way to keep your tanks clean

Potable Water Divers can make quick work out of cleaning your water storage GST or EST.  Our dive crew wears a dry suit so that no part of their body touches your water supply, They are then washed down with a chlorine solution to meet USEPA standards.

Sediment is quickly removed by the diver.  This is very important due to the fact that sediment may contain bacteria, protozoa, viruses or other contaminants.  Removing the sediment that has built up on the floor of the water storage tank should be a scheduled maintenance procedure done at least every three to five years.

Why isn’t chlorine treatment of potable water enough to keep water safe?

I had some water utility workers ask me, “Why isn’t chlorine treatment of potable water enough to keep water safe? Why should we worry about cleaning tanks when we already use chlorine?”

Chlorine works great as long as there is not a breach in the tank. When there is a breach like a hole in the top that lets birds and insects inside the tank, the chlorine can not keep up. This is why annual tank inspections are so important. People have died from this scenario, see: “Salmonella Outbreak in Alamosa, Colorado“. According to USEPA officials a sediment build up on the interior floor of a water storage tank is another type of breach. Bacteria like Legionella, protozoa like Cryptosporidium, and a wide range of viruses including Norovirus can hide and GROW in the tank sediment.

Do you know what the #1 cause of municipal water contamination is? According to the CDC it is a microscopic parasite called Giardia. The sediment becomes a perfect habitat providing both shelter and food for Giardia and many other microorganisms to grow. In time, the contaminants can reach a point where they overwhelm chlorine or any other disinfectant you may be using. Keeping tanks clean keeps your drinking water safe.

Top 10 Causes – Outbreaks in Public Water Systems*

• Giardia
• Legionella
• Norovirus
• Shigella
• Campylobacter
• Copper
• Salmonella
• Hepatitis A
• Cryptosporidium
• E. coli, excess fluoride (tie)

A professional potable water Dive Crew can remove tank sediment along with everything that is growing in it with minimal water loss.  The diver is sealed in a DRY suit so there is no human contact with the water supply.  Before entering the water system the diver is washed down with a chlorine solution to meet state and federal guidelines. The diver can then enter the tank and make quick work of removing tank sediment and any contaminant that may be hiding in it. It is basic housekeeping! You would not drink out of a dirty glass, no one should drink out of a dirty water storage tank or tower either.
