Mikocheni Household

The Challenge: Salty, Unsafe Water

A household in Mikocheni, Dar es Salaam was facing a critical water quality crisis. Their borehole water contained high levels of salt and magadi (sodium carbonate), making it not only unpleasant but also unsafe for daily use. The family was unable to use the water for drinking, cooking, or even basic cleaning tasks without concerns about health and taste.

The high salt content was causing multiple problems: the water tasted terrible, it was damaging appliances, and the family had concerns about the health implications of consuming such water. They needed a reliable, effective solution that would transform their water from unusable to safe and clean.

Our Approach: Comprehensive Site Analysis

Kilitek Africa's expert team conducted a thorough site survey to understand the specific water quality challenges. We analyzed the water composition, tested for salt content, magadi levels, and other contaminants. This detailed analysis allowed us to design a solution perfectly tailored to their unique situation.

Key Findings

• High salt concentration requiring specialized treatment
• Elevated magadi (sodium carbonate) content
• Need for a system suitable for residential use
• Requirement for reliable, low-maintenance operation

The Solution: Custom 500 LPH RO System

Based on our analysis, we designed and installed a customized 500 LPH (Liters Per Hour) reverse osmosis system specifically engineered for saline water conditions. This system was not a standard off-the-shelf solution, but rather a carefully designed system that addressed the specific challenges of their water source.

System Features

• Advanced Pre-Treatment: Multi-stage filtration to protect RO membranes from high salt content
• Specialized RO Membranes: Designed specifically for saline water treatment with high salt rejection rates
• 500 LPH Capacity: Perfect for household needs, providing ample clean water for daily use
• Automated Operation: Easy-to-use system requiring minimal maintenance
• Quality Monitoring: Built-in systems to ensure consistent water quality

Installation: Professional and Efficient

Our installation team worked efficiently to minimize disruption to the household. The system was installed with attention to detail, ensuring proper connections, optimal placement, and thorough testing. We provided comprehensive training to the family on system operation and basic maintenance.

Results: Complete Problem Resolution

The results exceeded all expectations. After installation, the client reported that all salty and waste water issues were completely solved. The water is now completely clean and safe for all uses - drinking, cooking, cleaning, and more. The system removes 99.9% of salt and contaminants, delivering pure, safe water.

The family can now enjoy clean, safe water without any concerns about taste, health, or quality. The system operates reliably with minimal maintenance, providing peace of mind and convenience.
