Crompton Launches RapidJet TDS 2000 as a Breakthrough in Water Heater Technology to Tackle Hard Water Concerns This Monsoon
RapidJet TDS 2000
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.'
Building on the success of its RapidJet series, which has garnered the trust of over 11 lakh customers since 2019, Crompton continues to deliver consumer-centric innovations backed by its legacy of over 85 years of quality and reliability. To support the launch of the RapidJet TDS 2000, the company has also initiated employee awareness programs to highlight the importance of Anti-Scale Technology in combating sedimentation and scale formation.
Available at Crompton-authorized retail outlets nationwide and on major e-commerce platforms, the RapidJet TDS 2000 is designed to provide a reliable and efficient water heating solution for modern households, ensuring durability and peace of mind for consumers in all water conditions.

IIT Bombay researchers develop AI-powered system to predict rain
In what makes for a first-of-its-kind model in the country, a team from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has developed a machine learning-based nowcast forecasting system which will analyse weather radars to predict rainfall at least 90 minutes ahead of rains. Set to be launched next week, the model has been installed at Mumbai's Regional Meteorological Centre in Colaba. Once launched, the model will issue nowcast warnings with updates every eight minutes, forecasting rain in Mumbai up to 90 minutes in advance. The data pertaining to the nowcast forecast warnings will be furnished on the website, The AI-powered forecasting system is based on a model developed by Akshay Sunil, a post doc student at IIT Bombay's Centre for Climate Studies. According to Professor Subimal Ghosh, head of the department and the Principal Investigator of the project, the model will work by analysing the rainbands and weather systems over the past few hours to forecast the incoming rain patterns. 'The idea is to analyse the data from the past few hours pertaining to the rainbands, cloud formation, wind speed and other factors. On the basis of such data provided by the radars, the model will use machine learning to understand the existing systems and analyse them to predict the rain over the next hour. The data for the model is being procured from the IMD radars,' said Prof Ghosh. With the model installed at the Regional Meteorological Centre in Colaba, the system has already generated positive forecasts in its testing phase. Funded by HDFC Ergo, the IIT Bombay project is a collaboration between IMD and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The new forecast system is slated to be launched next week, with nowcast warnings set to be made public via the website portal. Launched last year, the portal presently provides hyperlocal forecasts for the next 24-48 hours while also furnishing past data for recorded rainfall and water level. Citizens can also report flooding in their area, with details pertaining to location, water levels as well as feedback. Currently, the Centre for Climate Studies at IIT Bombay is also working on developing a flood forecasting mechanism through flood modelling.
