I am Gillian Fernandes from Panaji .I am deeply grateful to all the members who reviewed the Kent RO filter. the company man had a demo by testing the TDS total dissolved salts in the water which he said was 192 .Thensome electrodes were placed in the glass for 10 mins .the water which earlier looked crystal clear turned turbid with foam and algae and blackish sediments.The man convinced us to buy the RO ie reverse osmosis model costing 15-17000.
A.fter reading the reveiws I checked somemore and found that RO is workable only when the TDS is more than 500 otherwise it is a waste and also harmful as it removes ALL the salts from the water.
secondly the water was tested by the Eureka Forbes technician and the TDS was found to be 130.Thirdly we were told that when electrodes were placed in the water it reacts with the usual minerals to create the above effect. the effect was to scare and convince the customer to buy RO model which is both costly and not required in Goa where the TDS level is uaually below 500. My doubts were first aroused by the alarming reviews on mouthshut.com. Thank you everyone .I have gone for Nova Gold Eureka Forbes costing 9500/ - which is more suited to our situation
