🩺 Health & Lifestyle Impact in Vizag:
Water contains elevated mineral hardness (Calcium, Magnesium, Chlorides). Direct consumption without RO membrane filtration increases kidney stone risks, produces heavy white scaling in teapots/cookers, and has a bitter, unpalatable taste.
Ideal Target for Vizag:
80 – 120 PPM
Preserves essential electrolytes while eliminating harmful dissolved heavy metals.
Required Purification Stages
RO + UV + TDS Modulator + Alkaline
Optimal RO Membrane GPD
80 GPD High-Rejection Membrane
Recommended Filter Service Cycle
Every 6 Months (Heavy Hardness)
