Crompton Launches RapidJet TDS 2000 as a Breakthrough in Water Heater Technology to Tackle Hard Water Concerns This Monsoon
This year's early monsoon has brought widespread rainfall across the country, with the IMD forecasting 105% of the long-term average. While a relief, such heavy rains often contaminate surface water, pushing households to rely more on borewell water—typically hard and mineral-rich. Across India, borewell water has TDS levels ranging from 600 to 2000 ppm, and sometimes higher. With borewells being drilled deeper each year, the hardness only increases, making it a year-round concern. This hard water leads to scaling on the heating element of water heaters, causing slower heating, higher energy use and frequent repairs or replacements. Crompton's RapidJet TDS 2000 addresses these challenges head-on. Its anti-scale technology-based heating element, tested under lab conditions for TDS up to 2000 ppm, is built to resist hard water damage. Combined with a food-grade stainless steel tank and rust-resistant materials, this innovation delivers long-lasting performance and energy efficiency—providing reliable comfort even through the demanding monsoon months.
This innovation spotlights Crompton's dedication towards advancing technology and exceeding consumer expectations in water heaters, highlighted by the advanced features of the RapidJet TDS 2000. Some of the features include: • Anti-Scale Technology-based Heating Element: Specially designed to endure hard water conditions, this heating element minimizes sediment buildup—an issue that intensifies during the monsoon due to increased water hardness and impurities. It ensures consistent hot water flow, enhances energy efficiency, and prolongs the appliance's lifespan, making it ideal for use in heavy rainfall and borewell-dependent areas.
• Suitable up to 2000 TDS: Designed to handle the challenges of hard water, especially during the monsoon when TDS levels typically rise due to increased groundwater dependence, this water heater is tested to perform efficiently even in conditions with up to 2000 ppm of Total Dissolved Solids. It ensures consistent heating performance without scale-related disruptions, making it ideal for borewell-reliant households facing seasonal water quality fluctuations.
• Food-Grade Stainless Steel Tank: Built to withstand the corrosive effects of hard water that intensify during the rainy season, the tank is crafted from food-grade stainless steel for superior durability and hygiene. It not only resists rust and sediment accumulation but also maintains water purity through repeated use, ensuring long-lasting protection and safe hot water even in high TDS conditions.
• Rust-Proof Outer Body: Constructed with a thermoplastic body, this water heater is impervious to rust caused by high humidity and moisture levels typical of the monsoon season. This rust-proof design ensures durability and extends the heater's life, particularly in coastal or high-precipitation regions during heavy rains.
• ISI Certification: The ISI mark guarantees adherence to strict safety standards and quality assurance, crucial during the monsoon when electrical safety risks can increase due to moisture. It assures homeowners that the water heater meets rigorous safety protocols, protecting against hazards such as electrical faults and overheating, ensuring reliability and peace of mind even in damp, wet conditions.
Speaking about the new launch Malhar Vadke, Vice President – Large Domestic Appliances, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd said, 'The monsoon season brings heavy rains, high humidity, and fluctuating water quality that often causes sedimentation and scale buildup in water heaters, creating real challenges for homeowners. At Crompton, we focus on creating innovations that directly tackle everyday problems while maintaining high standards of quality and reliability. Over the years, this approach has made Crompton one of India's most trusted brands, known for combining advanced technology with practical solutions. The RapidJet TDS 2000 reflects this commitment perfectly. Built to handle hard water and moisture during the monsoon and beyond, it features Anti-Scale Technology and durable materials to ensure consistent, energy-efficient performance and long-lasting reliability. This product raises the bar for durability and efficiency, showcasing Crompton's dedication to meaningful innovation that delivers real value to customers.'
