Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice or to see if anyone else in the community has experienced something similar.

We are a large household of 13 people, including 7 children, and for a while now, we’ve been stuck in a cycle of illness. Every time we think everyone is cured, someone else gets sick the following week. It’s almost always vomiting or diarrhea.

We moved into our current home in September 2021, and I realized recently that we haven't had our water tank cleaned or disinfected even once since we arrived.

I’m starting to suspect the water might be the culprit. Has anyone else dealt with recurring health issues like this that turned out to be related to the water supply?

Also, for those living in the area:

1.How often do you get your tanks professionally cleaned?

2.Can you recommend any reliable companies or accredited labs where I can get my home water tested?

3.Are there specific things I should be asking the testing company to look for (bacteria, etc.)?

Appreciate any help or local recommendations you can provide!
