India’s weather changes drastically throughout the year, and so does the water quality that we receive at home. From heavy monsoon showers to winter winds, each season impacts how our water tastes, smells, and even how safe it is to consume. Many people think seasonal changes only affect the temperature outside, but the truth is far more impactful, as it impacts the water quality as well. This is a reason why understanding seasonal water behaviour is important, especially if you are someone who completely relies on groundwater, municipal water, or tanker water. In this blog, we will explore why November water is not the same as monsoon water and how you can stay safe and protected throughout the year.
How Weather Shapes the Water You Drink
1. Monsoon Season When Water Is Plentiful but Risky
During the monsoon months, most of the lakes, rivers, and borewells get recharged, increasing the overall water availability, but this period also brings the highest risks of contamination. Due to heavy rainfall, the runoff that carries mud, silt, and industrial wastes gets directly into the water sources. Reservoirs and lakes often overflow, hence allowing surface contaminants to mix with drinking water pipelines, which results in turbidity, or cloudiness, making the water murky and more difficult to treat. During this season, people frequently notice muddy tap water, unusual odours, changes in colour, and a rise in water-borne illnesses such as diarrhoea and typhoid. Thus, even though water is plentiful during the monsoon, it is also at its most vulnerable to contamination.
2. Post-Monsoon to November: When Water Looks Clear but Isn’t Always Safe
By November, the monsoon has fully withdrawn, and although the water may look cleaner, it is not necessarily safer. With no fresh rainfall, water levels in lakes, rivers, and borewells begin to drop, reducing natural dilution and causing the existing contaminants to become more concentrated. As groundwater levels fall, minerals become more concentrated too, which increases water hardness and often shows up as white scaling on taps, utensils, and even RO filters. This is why the water in many homes starts to feel slightly salty or metallic during this period. Microbial activity does not disappear either because rainwater that seeped into soil and old pipelines can continue to harbour bacteria and viruses, and stagnant pockets of water allow them to multiply. So even though the November water appears clear, it can still contain impurities you cannot see.
How DrinkPrime Helps You Handle Changing Water Seasons
1. IoT-Enabled Real-Time Water Monitoring
Your water quality is analysed 24*7, making sure that you always receive safe and clean drinking water. As soon as there are any changes in the turbidity levels or TDS levels, DrinkPrime makes sure that it automatically adjusts its purification setting to maintain optimal quality, and there’s no need for any manual checks as well.
2. Automatic Filter Replacement
Unlike traditional water purifiers, you don’t pay for filters. DrinkPrime makes sure to change or replace the filter with no extra costs. Whether it’s November’s high-TDS water or the monsoon’s muddy water, DrinkPrime handles both effortlessly without you lifting a finger.
3. Multi-Stage Purification
Its advanced RO+ UV lamp purification makes sure to remove mud, slit, and chemical, and heavy metal filtration effectively from the water, and makes it safe to drink.
4. No Upfront Cost, No Repair Bills
You don’t have to buy a water purifier; you simply subscribe, which means zero upfront investment, zero maintenance hassles, zero filter costs, with unlimited access to safe and healthy drinking water.
Summary
In summary, seasonal changes may seem good in our daily routines, but their impact on water quality is far from small. From the muddy, contaminated water to the deceptively clear yet mineral-heavy November water, what flows through your tap is constantly changing and often more than what you can see or smell. While these shifts can affect taste, safety, and even the performance of your purifier, staying protected doesn’t have to be complicated.
Besides, DrinkPrime takes care of everything. With real-time monitoring, multi-stage purification, automatic filter replacements, and a subscription model that eliminates upfront and maintenance costs, it ensures you get safe, pure, great-tasting water every single day no matter the season, no matter the source.
