Hotel Ganesh Palace - Water Softener System for Hard Water Treatment

Client Background

Client: Hotel Ganesh Palace  Location: Bangalore, Karnataka  Site Visit Date: 16/08/2025  Daily Water Consumption: 25,000 liters  Industry: Hospitality  Raw Water Pump Capacity: 4.5 HP

The Challenge: Hard Water Affecting Hotel Operations

Hotel Ganesh Palace faced significant operational challenges due to hard water throughout their facility. With a daily water consumption of 25,000 liters, the hard water was impacting:

• Guest satisfaction (hard water in bathrooms and showers)

• Kitchen equipment efficiency and lifespan

• Laundry operations and linen quality

• Plumbing fixtures and pipeline scaling

• Boiler and water heater efficiency

• Increased detergent and soap consumption

• Frequent equipment maintenance requirements

Raw Water Analysis:

• pH: 7.4 (neutral)

• TDS: 375 ppm (moderate dissolved solids)

• Total Hardness (TH): 110 ppm (moderately hard water)

The client urgently needed a comprehensive water softening solution to protect their infrastructure investment and improve guest experience.
