Let’s Keep Your Water Tankers Rolling!

Do you have a water tanker? Do you want it to work every day without problems? I know you do. You need your water truck to be safe, strong, and ready when you are. When you keep your truck in good shape, you are smart. You save money. You stay safe on the road. And you feel happy when the tanker works great!

At CLW GROUP, I help you keep every tank, pump, valve, and every little part just right. My team builds trucks, makes them special for you, and helps with any fix you need. I give you all the help with my after-sales and technical consulting services. Now let’s see how easy good maintenance and troubleshooting can be.

Why Should You Care for Your Water Tanker?

Imagine you are filling a pool or watering crops. Your water tanker must work. If it breaks, you stop working. That means trouble. But when you look after it, your water flows. Your business grows.

What Happens If You Don’t Care for Your Tanker?

Tip: Simple checks save you big money. Studies say you spend up to 30% less if you take care of your truck.

The CLW GROUP Maintenance Plan

Let’s make a plan so you know what to do every day, week, or month. Here is my easy list:

Every Day

  • Walk around your truck.
  • Look for leaks from the tank, hoses, and valves.
  • Check tires for flat spots or cuts.
  • Test lights on the chassis and inside the cab.
  • See if hose couplings are tight.

Every Week

  • Turn on the pump. Is it loud? Does it move water fast?
  • Open every valve. Does it move smooth?
  • See if the gauges and flow meter work.
  • Put lubricant at all chassis points.

Every Month

  • Look inside the tank for rust, cracks, or bad smell.
  • Take out and see the filters.
  • Touch all the wires and look at the electrical system.

If you use your water tanker for food or drinking water, clean the tank with the right disinfectant every time you finish your job.

How to Troubleshoot Problems Fast

Even strong trucks get tired. Sometimes you hear a noise or water drips. Don’t worry! Let’s see how to fix it. If you can’t, that’s when CLW GROUP helps you. Easy!

Specific Tanker Parts That Need Your Help

  • Tank: For potable water, clean it often. For other jobs, clean when needed. Check for corrosion or cracks every month.
  • Pump: Oil it, check for odd noises or vibration. Clean the intake screen.
  • Valves & Piping: Look for leaks and ease of use. Lubricate as needed. Replace any old seal or gasket.
  • Chassis & Drivetrain: Look after the engine, gearbox, brake system, tire, suspension, steering system, and cooling system.
  • Electrical System: Make sure the wiring, lights, and gauges work.
  • Safety Stuff: Test emergency shut-offs, safety valves, and backflow prevention.

How to Prevent Problems Before They Start

  • Make a maintenance log book. Write down every check and repair.
  • Always use the right oil and lubricant.
  • In winter, drain water (so tanks and pipes don’t freeze).
  • In summer, check for algae or bacteria.
  • Train each operator. A smart driver is your best guard!
  • You’ll want to see our water tank truck for detailed specs and more care tips.

Stay Safe Every Time

Safety comes first! Never skip these steps:

  • Before fixing anything, use lockout/tagout – make sure the truck won’t start by accident.
  • Always wear gloves and a mask if using chemicals to clean your tank.
  • Never crawl into a tank unless a friend is nearby.
  • Lift heavy things with care or a proper lift.
  • When Should You Call CLW GROUP?

    If your engine, transmission, or hydraulic system acts up, call me.

    If the tank needs welding, or you see deep cracks or severe corrosion, let me fix it.
