Water that finally
feels like water.

Delhi's borewell water averages 700–1,500 ppm TDS. We bring it below 100 — and you'll notice the difference the first morning.

Why does Delhi water leave white spots on everything?

Delhi's groundwater — especially in areas like Burari, Ashok Vihar, and Dwarka — carries 700–1,500 ppm of dissolved solids, mostly calcium and magnesium carbonates. When water evaporates, these minerals are left behind as that familiar white crust.

The same deposits coating your shower head are silently narrowing your geyser's heating element, your RO filter's pre-membrane, and your washing machine's inlet valve — until one day they don't work anymore.

Note: Soften treats your plumbing and appliances — not your drinking water. Your RO or filter handles drinking. Soften protects everything else.

Is soft water safe? Won't removing minerals be harmful?

Fair question — and one that stops a lot of Delhi families. The short answer: yes, completely safe, because a water softener doesn't touch your drinking water.

Soften connects to your main supply line before your geyser, washing machine, and bathrooms. Your kitchen tap and RO unit stay on the original line. You drink the same water as before. Your appliances and skin get the softened version.

The WHO does caution against drinking demineralised water regularly. We agree — which is why we never touch the drinking line.

My building runs on borewell. Will this even work?

Yes — and borewell water is exactly why Soften exists. Delhi's borewells, especially in Dwarka, Rohini, and parts of Gurgaon, regularly test at 1,200–2,000 ppm TDS. Municipal supply in areas like Burari hits 1,500 ppm. Our ion-exchange resin handles both.

The resin bed captures calcium and magnesium ions and releases sodium in exchange. It doesn't care whether your water comes from a borewell, a municipal tanker, or mixed supply — it treats the hardness regardless of source.

Calcium and magnesium ions attach to resin beads

02

Ion exchange happens instantly

Na⁺ ions replace Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ — no electricity needed

Resin regenerates with salt

Once a week, brine flushes the resin back to full capacity

How much salt will I use — and what does it actually cost monthly?

A 3-bathroom Delhi home at 1,000 ppm inlet TDS uses roughly 5–7 kg of salt per month. At ₹6–8 per kg for standard water-softener salt, that's ₹30–56 per month — less than a cup of coffee.

Compare that to the actual cost of not softening: a geyser replacement in Delhi runs ₹7,000–12,000 every 2–3 years. A washing machine drum replacement: ₹4,000–6,000. An RO membrane that clogs in 6 months instead of 18: ₹1,200 each time. Soften pays for itself before the first monsoon.
