Dear Sir,

Your bore well water as per the test results given by you is unfit for domestic uses as it has excessive levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), total hardness and chlorides. The only treatment that can make this water suitable for domestic use would be reverse osmosis (RO) unit to reduce the TDS to an acceptable level which is less than 500 and in any case not more than 1000.

If you want any further help you can get in touch with me on my email: ssranganathan@hotmail.com
