Why Won't My Static Water Tank Drain And What Can I Do About It?

If your experiencing issues with static water storage tank drainage, it's usually due to a clogged/blocked drain valve. In some cases the blockage will clear itself, but if the blockage is still present after an hour then you've got a more serious blockage on your hands. In this situation, it's reccomended to call a service engineer, but here are some at-home methods you can try:

• Use of a wire coat hanger. Open the drain valve, insert the wire into the tank. Wriggle the wire round clockwise to help loosen and remove any debris that have formed.
• Backflushing the drain. To do this, you'll need a wash machine fill hose with female connections on both ends. Close the tanks drain valve, attach one end of the fill hose to the tank and the other end to a nearby water source (typically a faucet). Power the water source then open the drain valve, allow the water to enter the tank for 10 seconds. Finally, turn off the water source, close the drain valve and remove the hose. From here you should continue with standard drainage steps.
