Access to safe and clean drinking water is one of the biggest challenges in urban India. Rapid urbanization, industrial growth, and population pressure have led to increasing water quality issues, affecting homes, hospitals, industries, and businesses alike.
At Metson Machines, we have extensive experience in designing and supplying mineral water and RO plants across Indian cities, helping communities and businesses overcome these challenges efficiently.
Here are the top 5 water problems in Indian cities and how we solve them with our turnkey water treatment solutions.
1. High Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and Hardness
Many urban areas rely on groundwater that contains high levels of dissolved salts and minerals. Cities like Madurai, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad often report hard water with TDS levels exceeding safe limits. High hardness and TDS can affect the taste of drinking water, cause scaling in pipes, boilers, and household appliances, and impact industrial processes in food, pharma, and textile sectors.
We design RO-based water purification systems customized to local water quality. Our plants include pre-treatment filters, softeners, and reverse osmosis membranes to reduce TDS and hardness effectively. For industries, we also offer high-capacity RO plants that deliver process-quality water reliably.
2. Microbial Contamination
Aging pipelines, leakage, and improper sewage management lead to bacterial and viral contamination in water. Microbial contamination is a serious concern in densely populated areas such as older city wards and river-adjacent communities. It can cause waterborne diseases like diarrhea and cholera, health risks in hospitals, schools, and hotels, and reduced shelf life for bottled water.
We provide multi-stage purification systems combining RO, UV, and ozonation to ensure microbe-free, safe drinking water. Hospitals, schools, and residential communities benefit from our BIS and FSSAI-compliant systems, ensuring continuous supply of safe water.
3. Fluoride and Iron Contamination
In some cities and surrounding rural belts, groundwater contains excessive fluoride or iron. High fluoride can lead to dental and bone problems, while excess iron stains utensils and laundry, impacts taste and appearance, and reduces efficiency in industrial applications.
We provide customized filtration solutions for fluoride and iron removal using adsorption filters, specialized resins, and RO membranes. Each system is designed after a detailed water analysis, ensuring that the treated water meets health and industrial standards.
4. Intermittent Municipal Supply
Many growing cities experience intermittent water supply and low pressure, forcing residents and businesses to rely on borewells or tanker water. Areas like Madakulam, Vandiyur, and Kondapur in Hyderabad face irregular supply challenges.
We design integrated storage and purification systems that provide uninterrupted water supply. For residential colonies, hospitals, and hotels, our plants include tanks, pumps, and automated control systems to ensure water availability 24/7.
5. Industrial and Chemical Contamination
Industrial zones and urban centers often face water contamination from chemicals and industrial discharge. Cities with industrial estates, like Patancheru, Jeedimetla, and Tirumangalam, report chemical traces, high hardness, and impurities unsuitable for manufacturing and food processing.
Our industrial RO plants and mineral water treatment systems are designed for high-quality process water. Multi-stage purification, chemical dosing, and mineral rebalancing ensure that water meets the strict quality requirements of pharma, textile, food, and beverage industries.
