Tap water quality in Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu? Is it safe to drink?

Exploring Water Quality in Kuala Terengganu
Kuala Terengganu, located in Malaysia's vibrant state of Terengganu, boasts rich cultural experiences alongside its scenic beauty. However, like many urban areas, water quality is an ongoing topic of importance for residents and visitors alike.

Issues Affecting Water Quality

Understanding the water quality in Kuala Terengganu involves considering various factors such as sources, testing methodologies, and standards.

Source of Water

The primary sources of water in Kuala Terengganu include rivers, rainwater, and groundwater reserves. The management of these water sources is crucial for maintaining quality, given the frequent influence of monsoons and seasonal changes.

Testing

Regular water quality testing is carried out by local authorities to monitor the condition of available resources. This testing encompasses a range of parameters including microbiological and chemical properties.

Adhering to Standards

Water quality standards in Malaysia follow guidelines set by the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO), ensuring safe consumption and usage. The aim is to mitigate risk from contaminants such as heavy metals and bacteria.

Water Hardness

In Kuala Terengganu, the water is often characterized by its hardness, which is a measure of calcium and magnesium concentrations. While not harmful to health, hard water can affect plumbing systems and appliance efficiency.

Concerns

Microbial Contamination: The presence of pathogens due to insufficient treatment can pose health risks.
Industrial Waste: Pollution from nearby industries can introduce toxic materials into water sources.
Water Scarcity: During dry spells, limited water availability can affect the quality due to reduced supply pressure.

Encouraging the Use of Filters

Given the challenges faced, the use of water filters and softeners is highly encouraged for consumers in Kuala Terengganu. Filters can effectively remove impurities and ensure cleaner water for drinking and cooking. Meanwhile, water softeners can aid in dealing with hard water issues, thus extending the lifespan of household appliances by reducing mineral buildup.

Embracing these solutions helps in securing better quality water, thereby promoting good health and enhancing the overall quality of life in Kuala Terengganu.

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.
