Water Multimedia Filter

Water Multimedia Filter

Posted by Pure Aqua, Inc. on Nov 5th 2019

Water multimedia filter by far is the most common type of water filtration, they contain multi layers of media. Each layer is progressively sized in coarseness and layer depth. The media layers are stacked progressively with the coarsest and densest media, typically gravel, at the bottom and the lighter, finer media, at the top. A water multimedia filter is used to  reduce the level of SDI (Silt Density Index), TSS (Total Suspended Solids) in the incoming feed water. Susp...
What is RO Antiscalant?

What is RO Antiscalant?

Posted by Pure Aqua, Inc. on Oct 23rd 2019

Antiscalant chemicals are used to prevent the scaling & fouling of the RO membranes. Scale may consist of mineral fouling such as calcium sulfate, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, silica, calcium fluoride, and strontium sulfate. The Antiscalant dosing should be done before reaching the RO membranes to break up sulfate precipitates, calcium carbonate, and other mineral fouling. Antiscalant is the preferred pretreatment method for water systems due to its unmatched effectiven...
What Is A Water Softener

What Is A Water Softener

Posted by Pure Aqua, Inc. on Oct 18th 2019

A water softener system is a unit that is used to soften water, by removing the minerals that cause the water to be hard. Water softening is an important process, because the hardness of water in different applications is reduced during this process. Water softening is a key step in treating hard or raw water. Without this step, minerals and materials in raw water such as calcium, magnesium and various others can build up to damage the water treatment equipment; specifically the&n...

When you hear the word ‘wastewater’ what image springs to mind? For some people it might be a horrific picture filled with large flowing rivers of human excrement and toxic sewage sludge running out of drain pipes and into the ocean. For others it might be vast wastelands of toxic waste spilling out of giant pipes into endless pools of slime and sludge, while a factory belching out black smoke looms in the background. It’s actually not quite as bad a picture as it may seem. While some...
