Unveiling Mysteries Behind Saline(salty) Borehole Water

Salty borehole water refers to a metallic after taste water with an excessive amount of minerals like iron, zinc, lead, manganese, etc caused by natural processes and contamination causing both health and environmental risks.

Common causes of salty borehole water

>Natural process: salty water can be caused by chemical reactions occurring within aquifer(underground water bearing-layer)
>Contamination: human activities like farming uses fertilizers(N:P:K) that acts as pollutants from the environment.

•Health risks that can be caused by salty water could be; hypertension(high blood pressure),skin irritation, kidney disease, etc.

•Environmental impacts: salty borehole water affect vegetation negatively during processes like active transport and soil thus making them less suitable for plant growth.

Corrosion: salty water accelerates corrosion of pipes and essential equipment like geysers.

Solutions
•Consider onsite water testing and analysis or use accredited water testing Laboratory.
•Our advanced innovative membrane technologies like Reverse Osmosis(RO),Nanofiltration(NF) can remove salinity in borehole water.
•Deionization: a solution used to remove all existing ions responsible for causing borehole water to taste salty .
