Useful questions before selecting equipment
- What is the water source and where is it used?
- Is the goal drinking water, process water, utility water or wastewater treatment?
- What daily and peak flow is required?
- Which test results are available?
- What storage, drainage, power and maintenance access are available?
Parameters commonly considered
Depending on the source and intended use, assessment may include pH, turbidity, TDS or conductivity, hardness, iron, manganese, arsenic, chloride, microbiological indicators and other parameters relevant to the application.
Treatment follows the measured problem
Sediment filtration, media filtration, activated carbon, softening, iron removal, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and disinfection solve different problems. A practical system uses only the stages justified by the water and target quality.
