Be careful! CO2 is extremely dangerous inside a tank.
Two Basic Types of Tank Cleaners
| Type | How it works | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| High flow, low pressure | Your winery pump recirculates a warm water and chemical solution through a spray ball. | Mainly sanitizing a tank interior. The tank must already be clean, so hazardous tank entry may still be needed. |
| High pressure, low flow | A pressure washer drives a rotary spray or jet head with hot water. | Actually cleaning. More costly equipment, but it can save labor and prevent hazardous tank entry. |
