Tap water quality in Sātkania, Chittagong? Is it safe to drink?

Opening

Satkania, located in the scenic region of Chittagong, Bangladesh, is renowned for its lush landscapes and vibrant community. However, an underlying issue that concerns its inhabitants is the quality of water available to the residents. Ensuring safe and clean water is crucial for health and well-being, making it a topic of importance for everyone living in this area.

Water Quality Issues

Source: The primary sources of water in Satkania include rivers, ponds, and underground water. Traditional reliance on these sources has posed challenges in maintaining clean water due to environmental and human activities impacting water purity.
Testing: Regular testing of water quality is essential. Unfortunately, in many cases, testing is infrequent or lacks the rigor needed to provide comprehensive safety assurances. This leads to potential health risks as contaminants may go undetected.
Standards: Adhering to national and international water quality standards is vital. In Satkania, there often exists a gap between recommended standards and actual water quality, which can expose residents to waterborne diseases.
Water Hardness: Water hardness is another concern, stemming from the high mineral content in local sources. This can affect not only the taste but also the suitability of water for everyday activities such as cooking and cleaning.
Concerns: The lack of proper sewage systems and waste disposal methods contributes to the degradation of water quality, making it imperative for local authorities to enhance public infrastructure significantly.

Encouragement to Use Water Filters/Softeners

Given the prevalent water quality issues in Satkania, residents are highly encouraged to utilize water filters and softeners. Using water filters can significantly reduce contaminants, ensuring the water consumed is safe and healthier. Meanwhile, water softeners help to minimize the negative effects of water hardness, enhancing water usability. Taking these measures can provide immediate benefits and improve overall life quality. Investing in these technologies is a proactive step towards safeguarding health, reinforcing community resilience in facing water challenges.

What do we do? How do we help?

We have developed the TDSBot, an inexpensive IOT device that monitors, in real time, the Incoming and Outgoing TDS levels, temperature, flow rate and cumulative volume of water filtered. Easy to install, it works with all water purifiers including, sediment, GAC, Carbon, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse Osmosis water filters. Key benefits:

Know the incoming and filtered water quality in real time.
Know the volume of water filtered by day, week, month and total.
Know in advance when to change filter cartridges. Too often we tend to realize that they need changing after the water purifier has stopped working or worse, when the water smells bad.
Change filters only when needed. Sometimes filters perform longer than their standard life due to better incoming water or lower usage. Reduce waste and save money.
Quality data collected is aggregated to show real time water quality data to all the community.

TDSBot can be installed on water purifiers from Pentair, Culligan, 3M, Brita, BWT, iSpring, and most other brands. Supports sediment, GAC, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse osmosis filters. It can remotely monitor filters attached to Coffee machines, Ice makers, soda fountains, water dispensers, ovens, laundry & dish washing, car wash found at Cafes, convenient stores, healthcare facilities, hotels, offices, restaurants, colleges, schools, hydroponic systems, and many more.

Why should you measure TDS levels in your water

* A definition specific to a few codes is that “Safe drinking water” means water that meets all primary and secondary drinking water standards. Drinking water standards are set based on potential health impacts and also take into account the cost to meet the drinking water standard. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines drinking water as safe when humans can drink it with low risk of immediate or long-term harm to your health. Although there may be health risks associated with certain contaminants found in drinking water not all contaminants are necessarily harmful.
