Revision history [back]
high TDS and high fluoride levels in boreholes
Dear TSS,
A friend of mine Mac Maguder is revieiwing some water boreholes drilled and equipped by Living Waters in kenya. There are common threads emerging: high TDS and high fluoride levels.
What simple treatments are available to reduce these issues please?
I have heard of slow sand filters equiped with crushed cow bones being used to reduce fluoride levels but have no details. I am also wondering how much a slow sand filter reduces TDS levels ....but have nothing to hand on that topic.
Kind regards,
Steve
