9 Common Water Quality Problems Plaguing Thane Residents - And How to Fix Them
Published by RO Care India | Your Trusted Water Treatment Partner in Thane
Living in Thane East, we've witnessed firsthand how water quality issues affect thousands of families daily. From murky tap water to that strange metallic taste, water problems are more common than you might think. At RO Care India, we've been helping Thane residents solve these issues for years, and today we're sharing everything you need to know about the water challenges in our city.`
Thane's rapid urbanization and coastal location create unique water challenges. Whether you're getting water from the municipal supply, bore wells, or tankers, understanding these problems is the first step toward cleaner, safer drinking water for your family.
You turn on your tap, and instead of crystal-clear water, you get something that looks like muddy soup. This happens when suspended particles like sand, silt, and organic matter make their way into your water supply.
What causes it:
Construction activities disturbing water pipes
Old distribution systems
Inadequate filtration at treatment plants
Health risks: Cloudy water often carries harmful bacteria and viruses, leading to stomach infections and waterborne diseases.
Solution: Multi-stage filtration systems with sediment filters can effectively remove these particles.
This is perhaps the most dangerous water problem. Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms enter our water through sewage leaks, poor sanitation, or contaminated storage tanks.
Common symptoms of contaminated water:
Diarrhea and stomach cramps
Typhoid fever
Hepatitis A
Cholera (in severe cases)
Prevention tip: Always boil water if you suspect contamination, and invest in a reliable water purification system with UV or RO technology.
Ever noticed your water tasting salty, bitter, or just "off"? That's likely high TDS - minerals and salts dissolved in your water supply.
What's considered safe:
0-300 mg/L: Excellent
300-600 mg/L: Good
600-900 mg/L: Fair
Above 900 mg/L: Poor (needs treatment)
Problems with high TDS:
Unpleasant taste
Scale formation in appliances
Potential health issues with extremely high levels
