More than half of Bangalore depends at least partly on borewell water. Its quality varies hugely from street to street — so the first step is always a water test.
Common borewell problems & fixes
| Symptom | Likely cause | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| White scale on taps & tiles | Hardness | Water softener |
| Salty / brackish taste | High TDS | RO (central or point-of-use) |
| Yellow/brown stains | Iron | Iron removal filter |
| Rotten egg / chemical smell | Hydrogen sulphide / organics | Carbon filter, aeration |
| Muddy water | Silt / sediment | Sediment / sand filter |
| Contamination risk | Bacteria | UV disinfection |
Typical whole-house setup
- Sediment filter
- Iron filter (if needed)
- Water softener

Don't forget recharge
Adding rainwater harvesting can recharge your borewell and, over time, improve water availability.
