Service · Swimming Pool Cleaning · One-Time Deep Clean & Algae RecoverySome pools are past the point where a quick clean and a dose of chlorine will help. If your water has turned cloudy or green, the floor and walls feel slippery, the tile line is stained, or the pool has sat unused through the monsoon, it needs a proper reset. A KaamGenie one-time deep clean drains the pool, scrubs the floor, walls and tile line by hand, cleans the filter, and shock-treats fresh water back to swimmable. Our green-to-clean recovery does the same for a full-blown algae bloom. This is a one-off job to bring a neglected pool back to life, not an ongoing contract. Deep clean from ₹5,999, green-to-clean from ₹7,999, large pools quoted after a free inspection.

A deep clean and a green-to-clean both involve draining the pool. We confirm what your pool actually needs during the inspection, and we never change the price on arrival.
Not every dirty pool needs draining. Knowing which service your pool actually needs saves you money and gets you back in the water faster, so here is the honest line between the two.
A regular clean is enough when the water is broadly clear and just needs attention: some dust on the floor, a faint film at the tile line, a slightly off chlorine or pH reading, or the usual start-of-season freshen-up. In that state we treat, brush, vacuum and rebalance the existing water without draining it, and the pool is ready the same day.
A deep clean is the right call when the pool has gone past a surface issue. The tell-tale signs are cloudy or milky water that will not clear, a slippery algae film on the floor and walls, heavy staining along the tile line, black or mustard algae spots, or a pool that has been standing unused for weeks. At that point the contamination is gripping the surfaces and the filter is usually clogged, so adding chemicals to the full pool just wastes product. The pool needs to be drained, physically scrubbed, and reset with fresh, shock-treated water.
A green-to-clean is a deep clean for the worst case: the water has actually turned green because algae has bloomed. This is most common after the monsoon, after a power cut that stopped the pump for days, or after a season of neglect. If you can no longer see the floor of the pool through the water, you are in green-to-clean territory. If you are not sure which bracket your pool falls into, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you plainly, and confirm it at the free inspection before any drain happens.
A deep clean is a complete reset of the pool, done in one planned visit. Every step matters, because skipping any one of them is why a half-done clean turns green again within days.
Drain the pool. Contaminated water cannot be scrubbed clean while it sits in the pool, so we drain it out fully. This exposes the floor, walls and tile line so they can actually be worked on.
Scrub the floor and walls. With the pool empty, the crew scrubs every surface by hand and with brushes to lift off the algae film, silt and staining that chemicals alone never remove. This is the physical work that a chemical-only treatment skips.
Scrub the tile line and waterline. The band where the water meets the tiles holds the worst grime: sunscreen scum, body oils and a hard grey or green film. We scrub it back to clean so the finished pool actually looks restored.
Clean the filter and skimmers. A clogged sand or cartridge filter cannot keep a pool clear, so we clean or backwash the filter, clear the skimmer baskets, and check that circulation is genuinely moving water. This is what stops the pool clouding over again after refill.
Refill and shock-treat. We refill with fresh water and shock-dose it with a strong sanitiser hit to kill any last algae and bacteria, then balance the chlorine and pH so the water is safe and swimmable. The result is a pool reset to clear, not just topped up.
Green water is the moment most Delhi NCR pool owners realise regular upkeep has slipped. It looks alarming, but it is a very fixable problem, and it follows a predictable pattern.
Why it goes green. Algae blooms when the sanitiser level drops and the filtration stops circulating. In Delhi NCR the usual triggers are the monsoon diluting the water and dropping the chlorine in hours, a power cut that leaves the pump off for days, or a pool simply left unattended between seasons. Warm water plus low chlorine plus still water is the exact recipe for a green bloom, and once it starts it spreads across the whole pool fast.
Why you cannot just chlorine it away. Owners often try to rescue a green pool by dumping in chlorine. It rarely works, because the algae is coating the floor and walls and the clogged filter cannot clear the dead algae out of the water. You end up with green-brown cloudy water and a lighter chlorine bottle. The algae has to be physically removed.
How our green-to-clean works. We drain the green water, scrub the algae off the floor, walls and tile line by hand, clean or backwash the filter so it can hold clarity, then refill and shock-treat the fresh water to kill anything left before balancing it. That is why green-to-clean is a more involved job than a regular clean, and why it is priced from ₹7,999 with larger or badly gone pools quoted on inspection. If you want to understand the chemistry behind a green or cloudy pool before you book, our guides on green and cloudy pool water in Delhi and swimming pool algae removal in Delhi walk through it in plain language.
Same sequence on every deep clean and green-to-clean, because the order is what makes the result hold.
The whole sequence is planned around your timeline, and we tell you the reopening time before we begin so you are never left guessing when the pool is ready.
Timing is the first thing everyone asks, and the honest answer is that it depends mostly on water volume, not on effort. A small residential pool deep clean is usually a single day, covering the drain, the scrub, the filter clean, and the refill with shock treatment, though the refill speed is governed by how fast your water supply runs.
A medium pool, or a heavy green-to-clean where the algae is thick, can run into a second day. The scrubbing itself is not the bottleneck; draining and refilling a larger volume takes time, and the shock treatment needs a few hours to work before the water is safe to enter. For a society or commercial pool we schedule the job across low-footfall days so residents or guests lose the least time, and for a private pool we plan it so you are usually only out of the water for a day or two. Whatever your pool, you get a firm timeline up front.
We drain, scrub every surface by hand, clean the filter, and shock-treat fresh water back to swimmable. Free inspection, fixed written quote, firm timeline.
Use the table as a reference. Small and medium deep cleans have fixed starting prices, while large pools and heavy recoveries are quoted after a free inspection. All prices are before 18% GST.
| Service | Pool size / condition | Starting price (before GST) |
|---|---|---|
| One-time deep cleaning | Small pool | From ₹5,999 |
| One-time deep cleaning | Medium pool | From ₹8,999 |
| One-time deep cleaning | Large pool (40,000 L+) | Quoted after inspection |
| Green-to-clean / algae recovery | Green, monsoon-hit or neglected pool | From ₹7,999 / quoted |
| Regular cleaning (once reset) | Small / medium / large | From ₹1,999 |
| Society / hotel / commercial | Clubhouse, hotel, club, gym pools | Quoted after free inspection |
The final price depends on pool volume, how bad the algae or staining is, how much water needs draining and refilling, and the state of the filtration. For a full breakdown of what drives the number, see our swimming pool cleaning cost guide, or compare every option on the main swimming pool cleaning hub.
A deep clean or green-to-clean resets the pool to a clean, swimmable state. Keeping it there is about steady day-to-day water balancing, and it is worth being clear about how KaamGenie fits into that.
We are a pool cleaning service, not a daily upkeep or chemical-dosing operator, and we do not staff your pool. Once we have reset it, the routine skimming, filter running and chlorine balancing between cleans is handled by you or your society operator. What we do is come back and clean the pool properly whenever it is due again: a regular clean every few weeks through peak summer, or another reset if it is neglected and slips back.
If you want us to return at planned intervals through the swim season, we are happy to discuss it, but that is quoted on a visit once we have seen the pool and understood your usage, rather than sold as a fixed annual maintenance contract. The simplest approach for most owners is to book the deep clean now to fix the immediate problem, then book a regular clean whenever the water starts to turn. Read more about ongoing care in our green and cloudy pool water guide.
Drain, hand-scrub, filter clean, and shock treatment in one planned visit. Deep clean from ₹5,999, green-to-clean from ₹7,999, large pools quoted.
Swimming pool deep cleaning and green-to-clean recovery is available across Delhi NCR:
Private villa pools, farmhouse pools, society clubhouses, hotels, clubs and gyms are all covered. If your property is just outside these zones, call us anyway; for larger pools we can usually arrange a visit while wider coverage is being set up.
A regular clean is right when the water is basically clear and you just need it brushed, vacuumed and rebalanced, the sort of clean you book at the start of the season or every few weeks in summer. You need a one-time deep clean when the water has gone beyond that: it is cloudy or green, the floor and walls have a slippery algae film, the tile line is heavily stained, or the pool has been sitting unused after the monsoon or a long shutdown. In those cases dosing more chlorine will not fix it, because the algae and grime are gripping the surfaces and the filter is likely clogged. A deep clean drains, scrubs and resets the whole pool. If you are unsure, send us a photo and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
Green-to-clean is our recovery service for a pool that has turned green with algae, usually after the monsoon, a power cut that stopped the pump, or a stretch of neglect. Green water means algae has bloomed because the sanitiser dropped and the filtration stalled. We drain the green water, physically scrub the algae off the floor, walls and tile line, clean or backwash the filter so it can actually hold clarity, then refill and shock-treat the water with a strong dose to kill any remaining algae before balancing it back to swimmable. It is more involved than a regular clean because the algae has to be removed by hand, not just chemically, which is why green-to-clean is priced from ₹7,999 and quoted for larger pools.
A one-time deep clean of a small residential pool is usually a one-day job, from draining to scrubbing to refilling and shock treatment, though the refill time depends on how fast your water supply runs. A medium pool or a heavy green-to-clean recovery can run into a second day, mainly because draining and refilling a larger volume takes time and the shock treatment needs a few hours to work before the water is safe. We give you a firm timeline before we start so you know exactly when the pool will be ready. For a private pool we can often plan it so you lose only a day or two; for a society or commercial pool we schedule around low-footfall days.
Yes, a true deep clean and a green-to-clean recovery both involve draining the pool. You cannot properly scrub algae and grime off the floor, walls and tile line while the pool is full, and heavily contaminated water needs to be replaced rather than treated. Once the pool is drained we scrub every surface, clean the filter and skimmers, then refill with fresh water and shock-treat it. A regular clean, by contrast, does not need a full drain: we treat, vacuum and brush the existing water. During the inspection we confirm whether your pool genuinely needs draining or whether a regular clean will do, so you are not paying for a drain you do not need.
A one-time deep clean starts at ₹5,999 for a small pool and ₹8,999 for a medium pool, with large pools quoted after inspection, all before 18% GST. Green-to-clean algae recovery for a neglected or monsoon-hit green pool starts at ₹7,999 and is quoted for larger or badly gone pools. The final price depends on the pool volume, how bad the algae or staining is, how much water needs draining and refilling, and the state of the filtration. Society, hotel and commercial pools are quoted after a free site inspection with a fixed written price. For a full breakdown of what drives the number, see our swimming pool cleaning cost guide.
