A single coaching-hub PG in Indira Vihar can run forty tenants off one shared Sintex tank, and under that constant draw the plastic greens fast in the sun. KaamGenie cleans it gently and hygienically. From ₹699.
Occupancy is what fouls the tank in Indira Vihar. On the Mukherjee Nagar side these builder floors are packed with coaching-hub tenants, dozens to a block, all drawing on one shared rooftop Sintex tank fed by the DJB supply. That continuous, round-the-clock use fills and drains the tank all day, so the water never settles and stays warm from the churn. The translucent plastic wall then lets the rooftop sun through to warm it further, and warm, moving water is exactly what algae and biofilm need to spread. Dust off the busy lanes drifts in through loose lids and lays grit on the plastic floor. A concrete tank would keep the light out, but the shared plastic one lets it in, so it greens fast under the coaching-hub load. With many tenants and absentee landlords, the cleaning is deferred despite the heavy use.
We clean these shared plastic tanks gently and fully: check the body and lid, drain, hand-scoop the slimy sediment, wet-vacuum the base and jet-wash at a plastic-safe pressure. The algae film comes off with soft pads rather than wire brushes, and we finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash before sending before-and-after photos.

This page focuses specifically on Sintex and plastic tanks.
The load never lets up here, and that is the problem. A shared Sintex tank serving a coaching-hub PG is drawn down and refilled by dozens of tenants all day and night, so the water is constantly warm and moving and never settles clean. The translucent plastic wall lets the rooftop sun warm it further, and that warmth is what algae and biofilm feed on. A shaded, quieter concrete tank would hold up, but the exposed plastic one under continuous occupancy greens on the same DJB supply, and faster the fuller the block.
Absentee ownership adds the neglect. With many tenants and a landlord who is rarely on-site, the shared tank has no one watching it, so grit from the lanes keeps drifting in through loose lids to lay a rough film on the plastic floor, and the cleaning is put off until the water smells. By then the algae has spread up the walls. For a tank under this kind of constant load, only a regular scheduled clean keeps it ahead of the bloom, and a full drain and scrub holds off far longer than a rinse.
No travel charge anywhere in Indira Vihar (Mukherjee Nagar side). The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

“Our block runs dozens of tenants off one tank. Can you handle that load?” Yes, high-occupancy PG tanks are a large part of our Indira Vihar work. A single Sintex serving a full coaching block gets the same careful clean, a lid check, drain, hand-scoop of the slimy layer, jet-wash and disinfectant finish, on one visit.
“The landlord lives elsewhere. Can a tenant or caretaker arrange the clean?” Yes. A tenant or the on-site caretaker can book, and we coordinate the timing around the building's water supply so no one is left without water. We send photos afterwards so tenants and the absentee owner alike can see the result.
“How often should a tank under constant PG use be cleaned?” Because these tanks are worked round the clock and stay warm, we suggest every three months. Continuous occupancy and rooftop sun bring the algae film back faster than in a quieter home, so a tighter schedule keeps it clear.
“What does a shared 1000-litre plastic tank cost to clean?” A standard 1000L Sintex is ₹899, and a smaller tank up to 500 litres starts at ₹699. If the block has several plastic tanks, we give a bulk per-tank rate to keep the whole property affordable.
“Is the green film a real concern with so many tenants drinking from it?” Yes. A green algae film and slimy biofilm affect the taste, smell and hygiene of the stored water, which matters most in a full coaching block. We clear it and finish with an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash, with before-and-after photos showing the tank restored.
