ro plant for overhead tank

Why is an RO plant for Overhead tank important?

An RO plant, also known as a reverse osmosis plant, is a water filtration unit that filters out hard water impurities and leaves us with clean water for use. Hard water is the presence of dissolved salts of calcium and magnesium. These are the commonly known impurities that cause hardness in water.

Apart from these, water quality can be affected by iron, mud, bacterial contamination and sewage leakage, leading to poor quality water. The solution? An RO plant for overhead tank produced by the company Water Sparks. This overhead tank RO system for home enables residents to obtain good quality water by converting high TDS water into safe, salt‑free water useful for home applications.

What is a high TDS water treatment system and how does it deal with high turbidity water?

Water that appears crystal clear may not be pure. Difference in water quality can be observed during consumption. TDS (Total dissolved salts) can be interpreted as the feel which determines the taste of the water. Hard water causes complications such as lower efficiency in water heaters, spoilage of electrical appliances due to scale buildup and acts as an impediment to human health. The hard water that you bathe in forms scales on the skin, which eventually leads to hair loss, wrinkly skin and other problems. The Overhead tank water purification system prevents this via filters and pumps that separate impurities from the water thereby providing a hard water solution for whole house. High TDS water treatment system is used to reduce total dissolved salts from more than 120 ppm to below 60 ppm, converting it to soft water.

Apart from TDS, other contributors worsen water quality, such as muddy water, iron water (contains iron leached from soil), turbid water, yellow/brown colored water and bad smelling water caused due to microbial contamination.

In Gerugambakkam, Chennai, a resident faced turbid water due to leaching of agricultural byproducts into the soil causing pale yellow colored turbid water. Through implementation of the RO plant for overhead tank combined with an automated chlorine dosing system, this problem was solved. The water passes through the yellow water filtration system, where bulk particles are allowed to settle. The top layer is passed through the high TDS water treatment system, where turbidity is completely removed and crystal-clear water is collected into the overhead tank, thereby acting as a solution for Salty water problem in Chennai.

Borewell water RO treatment in Chennai that functions as a hard water solution for whole house application

A resident in the suburbs opted for the RO plant for overhead tank after noticing the poor quality of water. Post installation, the borewell water RO treatment in Chennai transformed the muddy supply into crystal clear water. The high TDS water treatment system was key in lowering levels from over 2000 ppm to safe drinking standards. The overhead tank water purification system acted as a solution for salty water problem in Chennai by eliminating salty residues on utensils and clothes. The hard water solution for whole house via the overhead tank water purification system brought soft water flow, thereby reducing soap usage and skin irritation.

Families dealing with borewell water often struggle with poor water quality from underground sources but the borewell water RO treatment in Chennai ensures reliable purification at every home. As a proven solution for salty water problem in Chennai, it addresses coastal influences that make groundwater brackish. Moreover, this hard water solution for whole house eliminates the need for filters at each outlet, providing uniform treatment across bathrooms, kitchens and laundry areas.

Borewell water RO treatment in Chennai has been significant in reducing muddy and high PPM water with multiple positive reviews from customers.

Overhead tank RO system for home

The RO plant for overhead tank consumes less space as compared to conventional water softener alternatives, which also tend to be more expensive and costlier to service, if not altogether ineffective. One of the problems faced by residents was bad‑smelling water, caused due to microbial contamination. For disinfection, an ozonation and filtration system was attached to the overhead tank water purification system, which constantly pumped O3 gas into the water, thereby destroying bacteria and their toxic products.

Another commonly observed problem was iron water. Initially, the presence of iron in water is not detectable as the water appears clear. Over time, the iron gets oxidized, leading to a color change from clear to yellowish brown. To combat this, a part of the RO plant for overhead tank known as the aeration tank exists, which causes the iron to react with oxygen, making it form dense iron oxide particles that eventually settle in the tank. 

The upper layer of water is then pumped through two fully automated filtration systems that remove sediment impurities in the water along with any leftover iron particles through fine filtration, after which the water is pumped into the overhead tank. The overhead tank RO system for home complies with Indian regulatory boards and standards such as IS standards, BIS, water parameters and other local governing authorities.

The Crux Of The Problem

Water softeners work only up to 600 ppm. For water containing dissolved impurities beyond that, conventional water softeners tend to be of no use. The only solution is RO purification, which residents tend not to be aware of, causing them to spend a lot of money on solutions that do not work.

FAQs – RO plant for overhead tank?

An RO plant for overhead tank is a centralized water purification system installed before or connected to the overhead tank. It removes high TDS, salt, hardness, and impurities, ensuring clean water supply for the entire house.

Yes, an RO plant for overhead tank is highly effective for borewell water RO treatment in Chennai. It reduces high TDS, removes salinity, and treats hard water, making it ideal for areas with poor groundwater quality.

An overhead tank water purification system uses multiple stages like sediment filtration, carbon filtration, and reverse osmosis. It removes dissolved salts, mud, bacteria, and impurities before storing purified water in the tank.

Yes, it acts as a complete solution for salty water problem in Chennai. The RO membrane removes excess salts and minerals, converting brackish or saline water into usable soft water for daily household needs.

Yes, for high TDS water, an RO plant for overhead tank is more effective than a water softener. While softeners work only up to certain hardness levels, RO systems remove dissolved salts completely, providing a full hard water solution for whole house.

The price of an RO plant for overhead tank depends on capacity, water quality, and automation level. Small home systems start from ₹3,17,900.
