A water tank is the common household water storage. Due to certain level of water impurity, residues build up in the tank, alter water quality and taste, potentially affect people’s health. As a result, water tanks are suggested to be cleaned at least every year. For this paper, we calculate the discharge time of a typical full water tank by applying Torricelli's law.
