However, like many regions, it is also faced with the challenge of maintaining clean and safe water for its residents. Understanding the water quality issues in Chum Phae is crucial for both locals and visitors who rely on this essential resource for their daily activities.

Water Quality Issues

The water quality in Chum Phae is influenced by a variety of factors that can affect its safety and usability. One of the main sources of water is local rivers and reservoirs, which are subject to pollution from agricultural runoff and industrial discharges. Regular testing is carried out to ensure that the water meets safety standards, yet inconsistencies can still arise.

Source: The primary water sources in Chum Phae include surface water from rivers and reservoirs, which are vulnerable to contamination from various pollutants.
Testing: Frequent water quality testing is crucial to monitor the levels of contaminants and ensure compliance with health regulations.
Standards: The water is tested against national and international standards to maintain quality and safety for consumption.
Water Hardness: One common issue is water hardness, caused by high levels of calcium and magnesium, which can lead to scaling in pipes and appliances.
Concerns: Concerns about water quality persist, especially regarding microbiological contaminants and heavy metals, which pose health risks if not properly managed.

Encouraging Water Filters and Softeners

To combat these water quality issues, individuals and households in Chum Phae are encouraged to implement additional measures, such as using water filters and softeners. These devices can effectively reduce the concentration of harmful pollutants and manage water hardness, providing safer and more palatable water. By taking proactive steps to address potential contaminants, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing their water is safer for both consumption and daily use. Investing in such filtration systems not only enhances water quality but also prolongs the lifespan of household appliances and ensures better overall health.

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.
