Protect Your Family from High TDS Water with an RO Plant

At a modern apartment in Velachery, the residents were dealing with daily water frustrations that went beyond cleaning.

“No matter what shampoo I used, my hair always felt dry and frizzy,” one resident complained.

“Even worse, our clothes came out of the washing machine looking dull, and the water we drank had a flat, salty taste.”


They tried changing detergents, buying expensive shampoos, and even cleaning the sump and overhead tanks on a regular basis. But nothing worked.


It wasn’t the detergent.

It wasn’t the shampoo.

It was the water itself.


The borewell and metro water supplied to the building carried very high TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), which left behind salts and minerals that affected every part of daily life — from health to home maintenance.

Why Did This Happen?

When the water was tested, the results were eye-opening:


  • High TDS levels → gave water a salty taste and flat flavour in cooking.



  • Mineral deposits → clogged pipelines, geysers, and washing machines.


  • Skin and hair issues → residents complained of dryness, itching, and hair fall.

Here’s What That Meant for the Family:

  • The drinking water didn’t taste fresh, making guests hesitant to drink it.


  • Clothes lost brightness after every wash, especially whites and light colours.


  • Bathrooms and kitchens appeared unclean due to constant white stains.


  • Skin felt dry after bathing, and children often complained of itchy patches.


  • Appliances required frequent repairs because of scale buildup.


This wasn’t just about convenience — it was about health, comfort, and long-term damage caused by untreated water.

Our Recommendation: Install an RO Plant

We suggested installing a whole-house RO plant at the main water inlet to address the problem at its root.


Here’s how it works:


  • Reverse Osmosis process → removes excess salts, dissolved solids, and contaminants.


  • TDS control ensures the water is neither too salty nor too flat, but balanced and fresh.


  • Mineral balance → provides safe drinking water while protecting appliances.


  • Optional UV/UF system → ensures complete disinfection, keeping the water safe for the entire family.


Unlike shampoos, detergents, or frequent cleaning, which only address the symptoms, an RO plant addresses the real problem — water quality.

The Result: Fresh, Clean, and Healthy Water

Within just a few days of installation, residents noticed the difference:


  • Drinking water tasted fresh and pleasant.


  • Clothes came out clean, soft, and bright after washing.


  • Bathrooms and kitchens stayed free from white stains with minimal effort.



  • Appliances like geysers and washing machines worked without scaling.


One resident happily shared,

“Earlier, we spent so much on shampoos, detergents, and even appliance repairs. Now, the water itself is clean and healthy — it has improved our daily life in every way.”

The Takeaway: Fix the Water, Protect Your Family

If your home faces:


  • Salty or flat taste in drinking water


  • White stains on tiles, sinks, and utensils


  • Dry skin, frizzy hair, or hair fall after bathing


  • Dull clothes even after washing


  • Scale deposits in geysers, washing machines, or pipelines


…it’s time to act.

How an RO Plant Can Lengthen the Life of Your Dishwasher

"Whenever we purchased the dishwasher, we believed our days of scrubbing plates were done." That is how it began. A resident of Adyar, Chennai, called after encountering an unforeseen issue. For the first few weeks, it was perfect. The dishes came out sparkling clean," she said. But then things began to change. “Now, no matter how many cycles I run, the glasses come out with white spots. The steel plates look cloudy, and even the machine itself has these chalky marks inside.” At first, they blamed the detergent brand. Then they tried rinse aids. “We even cleaned the machine with vinegar and descaling solutions — but the white stains kept coming back,” she sighed. Clear Dishes at First. Cloudy Soon After. Why? We asked a few simple questions: “Do you know the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level of your water?” “No, but our borewell water leaves white marks on taps and sinks too.” That was our first clue. High TDS water contains excess calcium and magnesium salts. While no...

The Borewell Water That Smelled Earthy

“It was like the smell of wet mud every time we turned on the tap.” That’s how a homeowner from Thoraipakkam, Chennai, described the strange problem that had been bothering the family for weeks. “At first, we thought it was something in the plumbing, maybe dirt stuck in the pipes. But the smell was strongest in the mornings, especially when we pumped fresh water from our borewell. It wasn’t sewage, it wasn’t chemical… it just smelled like raw soil,” he explained. The family even tried boiling the water before use. “It made the smell a little less, but it never fully went away. And when we stored the water, you could see this faint brownish haze settling at the bottom of the bucket,” he added. Why Does Borewell Water Smell Earthy? We asked a few quick questions: “Is your house entirely dependent on borewell water?” “Yes.” “Have you tested the turbidity of your water?” “No, never.” A test showed the real issue: suspended mud and silt particles. When borewell pumps pull water from d...

This PG Owner Lost Tenants Due to Water Quality Complaints — Until He Fixed the Root Cause

"Every week, someone would move out citing the same issue: brown water and dirty toilets ." That’s what the PG owner in Porur, Chennai, told us during the first call. He ran a 20-room paying guest accommodation, mostly housing college students and working professionals. “No matter how much we cleaned, the toilets had permanent brown stains. Buckets were turning orange . Even the washbasins looked old and dirty.” The worst part? "We lost four tenants last month because of this." This wasn’t just about poor maintenance. The issue ran deeper. And we knew what the real problem was the moment he said “brown water.” Why Did His Toilets and Buckets Turn Brown So Quickly? Borewell water in many parts of Chennai, especially places like Porur and Ambattur, carries high levels of dissolved iron. It’s not always visible at first — but give it time. When this iron-rich water is exposed to air, it oxidizes into reddish-brown particles. These particles settle in toilet bowls, buck...
