Water Quality in Malleswaram, Bangalore

Water Sourcing in Malleswaram

While the broader city of Bangalore receives water from Borewell & Tanker, the reality on the ground in a specific locality like Malleswaram can be very different. Many apartments and independent houses in Malleswaram supplement municipal supply with deep borewells or private tankers, radically altering the water's chemical composition.

Analyzing the 180 TDS Level

Water tests in Malleswaram show an average TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of 180 ppm. This localized TDS measurement is crucial because a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for water purification.

At 180 ppm, the water exhibits specific characteristics. High TDS often correlates with high hardness (calcium and magnesium), which can lead to scaling in appliances, hair fall, and dry skin. On the flip side, if the TDS is low, using a harsh filtration method will result in flat, acidic drinking water.
