Real-world problem
Hostel students often suffer from water-related issues due to poor bathroom water quality. The untreated water contains chlorine, sediments, and other impurities, which cause skin allergies, rashes, dryness, and hair fall. Since hostelers cannot control the water supply, this becomes a constant struggle affecting their health, confidence, and well-being.
Highlight gaps in the current solutions/market
Most water filters in the market focus only on drinking water purification. Very few products address water quality for personal care (bathing and washing). The shower filters that exist are often bulky, expensive, and not portable, making them unsuitable for students who frequently move between hostels or rented rooms. This leaves a clear gap for an affordable, compact, and skin/hair-friendly water solution designed specifically for hostelers.
Who gets benefits (users, buyers, community)
Users: Hostel students, PG residents, and young professionals in rented rooms directly benefit by reducing allergies, dryness, and hair fall.
Buyers: Parents and guardians who want to ensure their children’s health while away from home.
Community: Colleges and hostels can also benefit by adopting GlowFlow as a student wellness initiative, improving student satisfaction and overall well-being.
Why this problem matters to me
This problem matters to me because I have personally seen hostelers and friends suffer from unnecessary skin and hair issues caused by poor water quality. It is frustrating when something as basic as water affects daily life and confidence. I believe students already deal with academic and personal pressures—so providing them with clean, skin-friendly water can make hostel living healthier and more comfortable.
Technical details
GlowFlow will be a compact, attachable filter that fits on taps or showerheads. It will use a multi-layer cartridge system:
Sediment layer – removes dust, rust, and particles.
Activated carbon – neutralizes chlorine, odors, and chemicals.
Vitamin C/mineral layer – balances water pH and makes it skin- and hair-friendly.
Usage Indicator – a color strip that signals when the cartridge needs replacement.
