Okhla Vihar’s new apartment blocks run big 1000-2000L plastic tanks on pure borewell supply — white scale below, orange iron staining up the walls. KaamGenie descales and disinfects them plastic-safe. From ₹699.
Okhla Vihar is the growing residential pocket off Jamia Nagar’s Kalindi Kunj road side, filling fast with 4-5 storey family apartments and rental blocks. The area is almost entirely borewell-fed — private RO plants sell the drinking water — and the overhead plastic tanks are correspondingly large, 1000-2000L units serving whole buildings. That combination produces the two complaints every resident here knows: white hard-water scale crusting the tank floor, and orange iron staining creeping up the translucent walls.
KaamGenie cleans the big plastic tanks of Okhla Vihar properly — full drain, wet-vacuum of the scale-and-iron sludge, soft jet-wash at plastic-safe pressure, hand-scrubbing of the stained walls with soft pads and a food-grade disinfectant finish, photographed before and after. Buildings that also want the borewell delivery line or ground storage checked can see our full water tank cleaning in Okhla Vihar page.
The borewell water here carries both hardness and dissolved iron. The hardness settles as white calcium scale on the tank floor and around the outlet, while the iron oxidises on contact with air and paints an orange film across the plastic walls — visible from outside through the translucent Sintex wall as a rusty tide-line. Neither is cosmetic: the scale sheds grit into the supply and the iron film feeds bacteria that give stored water a metallic, stale smell.
Tank size works against you too. A 2000L tank holds water longer between full turnovers, so the iron has more time to oxidise and settle, and the new buildings’ high occupancy keeps the bottom layer stirred into the outlet pipe. Most residents here already pay for RO drinking water — but bathing, cooking rinse and utensil water still comes straight off that stained tank, which is why Okhla Vihar buildings on a six-monthly cleaning cycle notice the difference immediately.
No travel charge anywhere in Okhla Vihar. The final price is confirmed on the call before we come — it depends only on tank size and access.

We reach every pocket of Okhla Vihar — and there’s no travel charge to any of them:
“Can you remove the orange iron staining from inside our tank?” Yes, that staining is oxidised iron film and it comes off with our plastic-safe jet wash plus soft-pad scrubbing — the walls go from orange back to their original colour, which you can check from outside through the translucent plastic. We photograph before and after so the change is on record for the building.
“What does a 1000-2000L tank cost to clean here?” A standard 1000L tank is ₹899 and smaller units up to 500 litres are ₹699; the 2000L tanks common in Okhla Vihar’s newer blocks are quoted a little above that based on size, confirmed before we start. Buildings with multiple tanks get a combined per-tank rate that brings the total down.
“We use RO for drinking — does the tank still need cleaning?” Yes, for two reasons. Everything except drinking — bathing, brushing, cooking rinse, utensils — comes straight off the tank, iron film and all. And your RO draws from the same tank, so grit and slime from a dirty tank clog its filters and shorten membrane life. A clean tank protects both your skin and your RO investment.
“Can the whole building’s tanks be done in one visit?” Yes, and that is how most Okhla Vihar blocks book us. We sequence the tanks so the building keeps water in at least one line throughout, clean each unit plastic-safe, and hand the society or landlord a single certificate with per-tank photos. One coordinated visit is cheaper and far less disruptive than piecemeal cleans.
“How soon can you come?” Call before 10 AM on 95603 66362 and we can usually reach Okhla Vihar the same day via the Kalindi Kunj road. For full-building jobs we may schedule a day ahead so residents can be notified about the water pause, but a single flat’s tank is very often a same-day clean.
