In the year
1995, the founder of TANCLEAN™, Mr. Sunil Uplap,
saw a bunch of filthy looking men, dressed almost in
tatters, chewing tobacco getting inside a drinking water
tank of a Co-op. Housing Society in an up-market locale
of Pune, to clean the tanks. A few years later during
inspection of underground water storage tanks in one
of the luxurious Residential Colonies in Thane near
Mumbai, we saw debris, sludge, algae accumulating including
cockroaches and other insects settled all along the
ceiling, corners and on the walls of the Tank. This
ghastly sight itself was enough to trigger the need
to develop and start a Professional and Scientific System
to provide citizens a fool-proof and perfect system
to clean water storage tanks.
At that time, the only people in the drinking water tank cleaning business were Building Watchmen and local Plumbers who used to either themselves do the job on or hire casual laborers to enter the tank, empty the water, scrub it manually and wash it again.
