Most community water purification systems
obtain their water from surface sources, like rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
These bodies, open to the environment, are susceptible to pollution. Animal
waste can contaminate surface sources with bacteria like Giardia and
Cryptosporidium. Industries can discharge their wastes into surface water,
adding hazardous organic contaminants to the source you may drink. Storm
water drains can empty into rivers and lakes with rainwater that's carrying
gasoline, oil, and any number of hazardous and bacterial wastes. Rainwater
can also carry fertilizers and pesticides from fields into streams, rivers,
lakes, and reservoirs. Even train derailments and truck accidents that cause
tankers to spill their contents can contaminate surface sources.
Cryptosporidium in particular is
difficult for treatment facilities to eliminate. Each Cryptosporidium
microorganism is covered by an outer shell, called a oocyst, that is
impervious to disinfection chemicals like chlorine. On rare occasions, these
oocyst pass untreated through treatment plants to your home.
Chlorine itself is another potentially harmful chemical. While it is vital
to disinfection, chlorine can bond with naturally occurring organic matter
to form potentially harmful substances, such as chloroform.
Other substances that can enter your
drinking supply are rust, sediment, and even lead. While flowing through
distribution pipes from the treatment plant to your home, it can pick up
these pollutants after it's already been treated. So how do you find out
what's in your source? The best way is to call your community system and ask
for a quality analysis. You can compare the results to National Primary
Drinking Standards and National Secondary Standards to find out if it falls
below levels Knowing what's in your source will help you select one of our
purification systems. If it is high in rust and/or sediment, or if you wish
to reduce odors and chlorine in all your faucets, showerheads, and
appliances, we recommend installing a whole house filter. If you are
concerned about bacteria, lead, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), we
recommend additionally installing an undersink filter. Or if you just want
great tasting refreshment, we also recommend installing an Undersink filter.
H2O solution provide world class purification systems.
As per your need/conditions of your water. We can design the plant for a
home, society or entire city.
