How has this pipeline helped you in saving time for other activities?

 In winter:  One of the main activity that is very much time consuming during the winter it is preparing the wood, coil and other stuff for heating of the house. Now that we will not spend a lot of time for fetching the water, we can more spend on that, which will take some pressure from the family members.

In spring:  It will help us to save time for spending on preparing the lands for the cropping season.

In summer: It help us to save time for spending on working on  our farm lands

In Fall: Now we will be able to get prepared better for the winter season, as we will have more time to prepare wood stock, drying fruits and canning vegetables.

Does the taste change in different seasons?,

It tastes the same in all the season

Does it have any color – No

 Does it have any odor – No

Do use any water from this for washing? – Yes

 Does the water leave any stains on the clothes? – No

 Is it hard water – No

 Any tap water can contain different amounts of total dissolved salts (TDS),  which in large quantities would make the water  harmful to drink. So, it is necessary to test it regularly. 

 The water is rated  based on the TDS amout per liter:

excellent when  less than 300 mg, good  when between 300-600 gm, fair when 600-900 mg and unacceptable when morethan 1200 mg.

 So, can you plan to rest your tap waterregularly with this meter we have given you?- Yes               

  Also, can you plan to have a government specialist check your drinking water if it smells bad, tastes bad or has a color? Yes
