Helping you keep water clean & safe
TanP is an independent online guide to water tanks, water quality and bacteria prevention. We turn the questions people ask every day into clear, practical and friendly articles.
Our story
Most of us only think about the water in our tanks when something seems wrong: a strange smell, a green tint, sediment in the glass or a worrying news story about bacteria. In that moment you want a reliable answer, fast. TanP was created for exactly those moments.
We started with a simple idea: good information about clean water should be easy to find, easy to understand and free for everyone. Instead of long, jargon-heavy manuals, we write guides that get straight to the point, explain the reasons behind the advice and help you decide what to do next.
Today our library includes 13,515 articles across 624 topics — from cleaning and disinfecting storage tanks, rainwater harvesting and filtration to plumbing, home maintenance, hygiene and the science of microorganisms — and it keeps growing.
Our mission
Our mission is to help households, landlords, farmers and hobbyists store and use water with confidence. We want every reader to leave our site knowing how to keep their tank clean, how to prevent bacteria, algae and mould, and when a problem needs professional help.
Who we are
TanP is run by a small, independent team of writers and editors with a long-standing interest in water systems, home maintenance and practical science. We research every topic carefully, write in plain language and update our articles as new information becomes available.
We are not a laboratory, a utility or a licensed contractor, and our articles never replace professional testing or local health guidance. What we can do is help you understand what’s going on, prepare the right questions and recognise when it’s time to call an expert.
Topics our readers love
How we create our content
Research
We start from the real questions people ask and study reputable sources such as public health agencies, water quality standards, university extension services and peer-reviewed research.
Write clearly
Each article opens with a direct answer, then explains the details in plain language, with checklists and practical tips you can use straight away.
Review & update
We check articles against our editorial standards, fix errors quickly and refresh content when recommendations or regulations change.
What we stand for
Safety first
We recommend proven, low-risk methods and always point out when chemicals, electricity or confined spaces require extra care.
Accuracy
We aim to be correct, clear and honest about what is known — and what isn’t.
Independence
Advertising keeps our content free, but advertisers have no say in what we write.
Sustainability
We favour solutions that save water, reduce waste and protect the environment.
