Summer Tips: Summer season has started in India. Especially in North India, the effects of strong sunlight and heat wave have started becoming visible. Although there has been some respite from the rain in between, the heat of the afternoon still persists. The biggest problem in summer is that the water in the tanks kept on the roof becomes very hot, which makes it difficult to use it. If you are also troubled by this problem, then here are some easy ways by which you can keep the water cool.

The hot sun cools the water

Nowadays the heat has increased so much that the temperature is reaching 40 degrees. Due to strong sunlight, the water in the tanks kept on the rooftops becomes so hot that it is difficult to even touch it. Due to this boiling water, people are neither able to bathe properly nor do other household chores like washing utensils. Overall, hot water has made everyday tasks quite difficult.

Follow these steps to cool hot water

If you are also troubled by the hot water of the tank, then the best way is to cover it. Special types of insulated covers are available in the market which do not allow sunlight to reach the tank directly. Apart from this, you can also make the cover yourself using old mattresses, rexin and thermocol sheets kept at home. Due to this, the sun’s rays will not fall on the tank and the water will remain cool.

By doing this, sunlight will not fall directly on the tank and the water will remain cool enough to use.
