The quality of water from SmartPaani’s Biosand filter is far better which is why we decided to install SmartPaani’s system,” Says Mr. Rabi Gorkhali from Greenhill City, Mulpani.
The groundwater supply is often more convenient and less expensive than water distributed by the colony. Therefore many houses in Greenhill city have their own well and boring option to meet their water demands. However, the quality of the groundwater is deplorable. The water appears clear when drawn, but once exposed to air it turns yellow due to iron.
Mr. Gorkhali also noticed a high level of iron in his boring water. Therefore, he installed SmartPaani’s Biosand filter to treat his boring water. He recalls his relatives at Mulpani using a different kind of filter but when compared he noticed the quality of water was much better from SmartPaani’s Biosand filter. “Our boring water has a strong smell but the water that comes out from the filter does not have any odor.” Shares Mr. Gorkhali.
The system provides 2000 liters of clean utility water. Mr. Gorkhali uses the water for his daily needs and stores the excess in his reserve tank. “I have a small family. We only need 500 liters of water per day but during Saturday’s we need more water. I have not faced any shortage of water after installation. Additionally, I have noticed due to the quality of water the filter needs to be cleaned once in 15 days, which is not bad.”, mentions Mr. Gorkhali.
