In the year 2000, the founder of TANCLEAN™ 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.
