Dear Sir,

Sub. : Sand filter and Softener

This is in reference to the discussion we had regarding fitting a water treatment plant to remove hardness present in water. We are pleased to submit herewith the scheme for setting up a Softener based on the requirement . Hardness assumed is 650 ppm.

What are the effects of Hardwater?
Hard water can be detected easily, even as one performs personal hygiene such as hair washing, or through the appearance of fixtures and appliances or changes in heating costs.
• Clogged pipes and/or appliances could be a sign of hard water. Hard water mineral deposits can form in coffee makers and can build up in pipes or plumbing equipment. A consumer may notice a reduced water flow, as well as an increase in the number of calls to a repair person.
• Consumers may notice a film on their bathtubs or shower tiles, or even on themselves. The film that is left often results in additional scouring and scrubbing of the affected fixtures, and can cause hair to be dull and limp, and dry the skin.
• A consumers water heating costs could increase as a result of hard water. When hard water is heated, the minerals can precipitate and form scale. Besides buildup, mineral deposits can form an insulating barrier between the heating element and the water to be heated.
• The calcium and magnesium in hard water act on many soaps and detergents to reduce their sudsing and cleaning capabilities. The soapy residue they form can be abrasive and reduce the life of clothing.

DESIGN BASIS & TREATMENT SCHEME

REQUIREMENT

The requirements of softened water from Softener.

TREATED WATER QUALITY AT VARIOUS STAGES OF WATER
TREATMENT PLANT

Why we stopped using our blog?

Hello! Office bearers

No updates on our accounts since April 2009,
No active discussions and seeking opinions from people
No updates on MOM and decisions.

Why are we going back to ancient days?
Why can’t we utilize this service efficiently for communication?

There are some drawbacks of putting all our problems on notice board as well

1. Difficult to get tenants for our vacant flats
2. Rent would go down
3. Impression & feel would go for a toss

Visualize “5 water issues, couple of house for rent & a house for sale” on our notice board from a visitor’s eye!

So, the only way to evade this is communicating via blog!!, please keep informed & help out others to understand what’s happening in our apartment.


Thank you
Regards, Krishnakumar.
