Do you know air in airconditioned rooms should change completely in 30 minutes to 60 minutes।

This is possible in window or central air conditioner where fresh air is continuously breathed in ।

In split air conditioning it is not possible unless it is installed in busy places like retail shops, doctors clinic , public offices where doors keep opening closing regularly

The only advantage split ac has is low sound level ।

Window AC vs Split AC 

Need to change room air

These were designed to cool cabins and mid spaces in buildings where external wall was not available

When your total AC load is 10 ton better go gor central unit

RO water filters: 

RO Water filters should not be used blindly

National Green Tribunal of India has ordered ban on installing RO filters where incoming water is less than 500/600TDS (total dissolved solids)

Specially you dont need where govt water supply or deep tubewell supply is given

Unless water by full testing is found carrying

More than 600 tds 

Heavy metals beyond permitted level like lead antimony mercury etc

Pesticides or other harmful chemicals  beyond permitted traces level

RO companies install RO without proper advise to increase sales।

Think of RO only when 

Water smells

Water has visible heavy scale deposits

Water is hard that soap does not form any foam

After bathing hair feel sticky or hard

Pesticides or factiry waste are reported

In majority of cases RO not needed

RO makers talk of TDS control facility and remineraliser etc which are gimmicks and dont work properly and effective

Typically even 600 tds water will give 35-40 tds after filter।

Not good for health and has metallic taste

Water below 20 tds may hurt your stomach and itenstines

You can buy 400 rs tds meter online।

RO wastes water ।for 1 glass 4 glasses।

Its annual maintenace cost is 5000 to 10000 rs a year besides power charges।

It is very costly।

That is why companies sell RO।year after year incomes ।

The filter set is insisted to be changed every year which actually costs 1500 rs but sold to you at 4000 Rs।

In most cases simple sedementary filters are enough or added carbon filter।where you suspect water borne bacteria and protoza like E coli or amoeba UV tube can be added

Be careful say no to RO ।save your health and money

Dont fall for fancy terms like tds control , remineralisation and herbal goodness etc।

A glass of clean natural water is what you need

Where municipal supply just simple filter is needed।

Where people live in socities let rwa test water।

RO filters are costly Rs 10 to 40 thousands

And year after year 6000 to 10000 service cost plus 3 times water waste plus power bill 

Ask me if you need
