{"title":"Hard Water Filter in Mysore for Piped and Borewell Homes","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hard water filter in Mysore is not something every home needs, and our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/mysore-water-hard-or-soft\"\u003eMysore water report\u003c\/a\u003e says so plainly. Treated Cauvery and Kabini water on the corporation pipeline runs soft to moderately hard. The case for Care Dale's tap and shower filter, which blocks 92% of calcium and removes 96% of chlorine, is strongest on city tube wells and in borewell or tanker layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Mysore homes actually need a hard water filter?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMostly homes on bores and tankers. Roughly nine litres in ten reaching a Mysuru tap is treated surface water from the Cauvery head works at Belagola, Hongalli and Melapura and the Kabini intake at Bidaragudu. City tube wells add about 38 MLD of a roughly 348 MLD daily supply, and that bore water is harder, varying from one bore to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outskirts are a separate story. More than 50,000 residential sites in MUDA and MUDA-approved layouts were being served borewell water, outside the reach of Vani Vilas Water Works, and the weathered granite beneath them loads that water with calcium and magnesium. Bores there have also been sunk deeper over the years, with rising mineral content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich filter suits your Mysuru supply zone?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupply zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSource\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardness tendency\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFilter and price\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYadavagiri and Vijayanagara reservoir wards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreated Cauvery from Hongalli\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft to moderately hard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tap-shower-filter-municipal-water\"\u003eMunicipal\u003c\/a\u003e, ₹1,499\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKuvempunagar reservoir wards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreated Kabini from Bidaragudu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSimilar to the Cauvery supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMunicipal, ₹1,499\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDevanur and German Press reservoir zones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreated Cauvery from Melapura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMunicipal, ₹1,499\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTube-well pockets inside corporation limits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 1,025 city bores and pumps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHarder; varies bore to bore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tap-shower-filter-for-borewell-tanker-water\"\u003eBorewell\/Tanker\u003c\/a\u003e, ₹1,899\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMUDA and private layouts on the outskirts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorewell and tanker groundwater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardest and most variable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBorewell\/Tanker, ₹1,899\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Municipal filter (4.97\/5, 515 reviews) is built to handle inlet water up to about 800 ppm TDS.
