Salty Water Treatment

Remove salt and high TDS from borehole and coastal water.

Salty (brackish) borehole water is common along the coast, in Kajiado and in parts of ASAL Kenya. Only reverse osmosis reliably brings TDS down to drinkable levels.

We test your source water and design a treatment train that matches — no oversized, no undersized.

Common water challenges

  • TDS above 1,000 mg/L
  • Salty taste
  • Corrosion of galvanised pipes

Frequently asked questions

What TDS is 'salty'?+

Above ~500 mg/L water starts tasting salty; above 1,000 mg/L KEBS considers it non-potable without treatment.
