Mukundpur’s new builder floors went up fast on hard borewell water, and their fresh Sintex tanks scale and green within months. KaamGenie cleans them gently, hygienically and with photos. From ₹699.
Mukundpur is a fast-expanding outer North Delhi pocket where new builder floors and colonies have gone up quickly, and the building type tells the water story. These are recent constructions on ground that leans heavily on borewell supply, and that hard groundwater deposits thick scale and a gritty mineral sediment inside the Sintex and plastic overhead tanks within a few months of use. The tanks themselves are usually installed cheaply as an afterthought and left exposed on flat new roofs, where the translucent walls pass sunlight into the water and warm it. That light and warmth grow an algae film that clings to the fresh scale the borewell keeps depositing. With construction still active across the pocket and no cleaning routine yet established on these new floors, the deposits build unchecked until they clog outlets and discolour the water. A tank barely a year old in Mukundpur can already be scaled and slimy inside.
Our plastic-safe clean is made for exactly this: we check the tank and lid, drain it, scoop and wet-vacuum the gritty sediment, jet-wash at a plastic-safe pressure that lifts the hardness scale without cutting the wall, scrub the algae with soft pads, then apply an anti-bacterial disinfectant wash and send photos before and after. For a Mukundpur building whose borewell sump has caked with the same scale, our full water tank cleaning in Mukundpur handles it. This page focuses on the Sintex and plastic tanks.
The borewell water is hard and mineral-heavy, and that is the driver here. In a plastic tank it lays down thick calcium scale and a gritty sediment across the floor and walls within a few months, far faster than a piped area would see. Because Mukundpur’s floors are new and almost all on borewell, even a freshly installed Sintex tank scales up quickly, so recent builds already carry a mineral crust that ordinary rinsing will not shift.
The plastic then invites the algae on top of the scale. A translucent Sintex wall on an exposed new roof lets sunlight straight into the water and warms it, feeding a film that anchors onto the rough deposit already down. Since these tanks are put in cheaply and treated as an afterthought, they are rarely opened or cleaned, so scale and film compound together. Left long enough the deposits narrow the outlet and discolour the water, which is usually when residents on these new floors first take notice.

“Our floor is newly built but the tank already has deposits, is that expected here?” Yes, unfortunately. Mukundpur’s hard borewell water scales a plastic tank within months, so even a tank under a year old can carry a mineral crust and the beginnings of an algae film. A first clean lifts all of it, and a regular schedule keeps it from building back to where it clogs the outlet.
“The water comes out a bit discoloured, will a clean fix it?” Usually, yes. Discoloured borewell-fed water often carries the gritty sediment and scale stirred up from inside the tank. Once we scoop, vacuum and jet-wash that out and disinfect the tank, the standing water stops picking up deposits, so it runs clearer. If the borewell is very heavy, cleaning more often keeps it that way.
“How often should a new borewell-fed Sintex tank be cleaned?” Because the hardness builds so fast on Mukundpur’s borewell, every three to four months is sensible, more frequent than piped areas. Keeping the scale thin also protects the outlet and float valve from clogging, so the closer schedule helps flow as well as water quality.
“Several new floors each have their own tank, is there a rate for all of them?” Yes. Each plastic tank is priced by size, from ₹699 for a 500 litre up to ₹1,499 for a larger one, but four or more tanks on a building get a bulk per-tank rate. So cleaning every new floor together in Mukundpur is noticeably cheaper than booking them separately.
“Can the scale really clog the tank outlet?” It can, if left. Hard-water scale slowly narrows the outlet and coats the float valve until the flow drops and the cut-off stops seating. Clearing the tank on a regular schedule keeps the outlet open, which matters here because Mukundpur’s borewell keeps feeding fresh scale into the tank.
