Nellore Water Quality & TDS Checker

Water in Nellore district changes dramatically from the coast to the inland west. Distance from the sea is the single biggest factor in what comes out of your borewell.

Water zones across Nellore district

• Coastal and aquaculture belt (Allur, North Mopuru, Bujabuja Nellore) — roughly 1200–3000 mg/L TDS. Seawater intrusion is documented here. RO is essential and membranes typically last 12–18 months.
• Nellore city and suburbs (Vedayapalem, Nawabpet, Mulapeta, B. V. Nagar, Buchireddypalem) — roughly 260–1885 mg/L, averaging near 500 mg/L. A standard RO suits most homes; membranes last 2–3 years.
• Inland west, Penna and Somasila belt (Atmakur, Udayagiri, Ananthasagaram, Podalakur, Kaluvoya) — roughly 300–1000 mg/L. Hardness matters more than salt here.

What TDS levels mean for drinking water

• 50–300 mg/L — ideal for taste and mineral content
• 300–500 mg/L — acceptable, within the Indian permissible limit
• 500–1000 mg/L — high; an RO makes a clear difference
• 1000–2000 mg/L — brackish; RO is essential and wears faster
• Above 2000 mg/L — strongly brackish; get the water properly tested before buying

The only number that matters is yours

Two borewells on the same street can differ by hundreds of mg/L depending on depth and age. These ranges are indicative for a type of area, drawn from published groundwater research on Nellore district — not measured readings for an individual house. We test your actual water at your door, free, before recommending anything.
