Every 6 months
On municipal DJB supply, a home rooftop tank should be cleaned twice a year. That’s the baseline.
KaamGenieHow often, really?
Most Delhi homes go years between cleanings — here’s the schedule that actually works.
DJB water
Borewell
Every 3–4 months
Borewell water carries a heavier mineral load, so tanks scale faster and need cleaning more often.
Season
Always clean post-monsoon
Rain carries dust, leaves and insects through weak lids. If you clean once a year, do it in early September.
Warning
“The water looked fine”
By the time water tastes off, sludge has built up for months. Clear water is not clean water.
Rule of thumb
Can’t remember? Clean now
If you can’t recall the last cleaning, it’s overdue. Ignore anyone pushing monthly — that’s just upsell.
