Aquapurum has successfully begun installation of its machine—EC 100—in Rohan Ashima, a residential society in Bengaluru.
The system is connected to the main tank that provides water supply to the entire community, where residents are using the water for general purposes, including bathing, cooking, washing and drinking.
Some residents have also opted to remove water purifiers from their kitchens, recognising that the water coming out of their taps is of drinking quality.
