Tap water quality in Purwokerto, Provinsi Jawa Tengah? Is it safe to drink?

Opening

Pemanfaatan air bersih yang berkualitas di Purwokerto, Provinsi Jawa Tengah adalah prioritas utama bagi kesejahteraan penduduk. Mengingat pentingnya air dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, kualitas yang buruk dapat menimbulkan dampak kesehatan yang serius. Oleh karena itu, memantau kualitas air dan memastikan bahwa standar tertentu dipenuhi adalah hak dan kewajiban setiap individu dan komunitas.

Water Quality Issues

  1. Sumber:

    Di Purwokerto, sumber air bersih utama termasuk mata air alami, sumur bor, serta distribusi dari perusahaan air minum daerah. Namun, laju urbanisasi dan aktivitas pertanian intensif telah memberikan tekanan pada sumber daya air di daerah ini.

  2. Pengujian:

    Pengujian kualitas air secara berkala dilakukan oleh pihak terkait untuk menjamin kesehatan masyarakat. Parameter yang diuji meliputi pH, kandungan mineral, dan kontaminan biologis seperti bakteri E. Coli.

  3. Standar:

    Air di Purwokerto diharapkan memenuhi standar nasional seperti yang ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Kesehatan. Standar ini mengatur batas aman untuk kontaminan kimia dan biologis yang dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan manusia.

  4. Kesadahan Air:

    Masalah kesadahan air muncul akibat tingginya kandungan mineral seperti kalsium dan magnesium. Air sadah dapat mempengaruhi efisiensi penggunaan sabun dan deterjen, serta berpotensi merusak peralatan rumah tangga.

  5. Keprihatinan:

    Seiring dengan perkembangan, meningkatnya pencemaran dari limbah rumah tangga dan industri kecil menjadi perhatian. Ancaman ini dapat memburuk seiring waktu jika tidak dikelola dengan efektif.

Encourage Using Water Filters/Softeners

Untuk meningkatkan kualitas air yang digunakan sehari-hari, penggunaan filter air dan perangkat pelunak air sangat dianjurkan. Perangkat ini dapat membantu menyaring partikel-partikel serta mengurangi kesadahan, menjadikan air lebih aman untuk diminum dan digunakan. Investasi dalam sistem penyaringan air adalah langkah bijak yang dapat membantu memastikan kesehatan keluarga dan memperpanjang usia peralatan rumah tangga. Mendukung inisiatif ini, masyarakat diharapkan lebih berpartisipasi aktif dalam menjaga kualitas sumber air di sekitar mereka demi keberlanjutan penggunaan air bersih.

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.

Sustainability Impact Insights

TDSBot can generate a variety of sustainability data, including water usage metrics, identify areas of reducing water waste, leak detection and prevention, extend filter and equipment lifespan, predictive maintenance alerts to extend equipment life and reduce environmental impact.
Sustainability data can be easily showcased on your corporate website or publicly shared on your social media

* 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.
