There are a number of different water treatment systems that water treatment companies can offer to help improve the quality and usability of a water supply. If you’re looking to purify your water, here are four types of popular water treatments you can use…

1. Boiling

Boiling water is the safest and cheapest way to purify water and deal with issues such as parasites and germs that may be present in the water. By boiling the water for a short period of time you can improve the quality of the water – just make sure you leave it to cool before drinking.

2. Filtration

Filtering is another extremely effective way of purifying water and can remove harmful chemicals and compounds from the water. Common filtration uses both chemical and physical processes to purify water and make it safe for human consumption, whilst also leaving mineral salts in the water – which is a health benefit of using a filter.

3. Distillation

Distilling water involves heating the water until it forms a vapour and then collecting that vapour – which is water in its pure form. Distillation will remove contaminants and disease-causing elements found in water, as they typically have a higher boiling point than water and will be left as a sediment in the distillation container.

There are some very good reasons why we water treatment companies invest in developing water treatment systems, the main one being that untreated water poses a major health risk. There are many dangerous waterborne diseases that pose a serious risk to human and animal health. Water treatment companies work hard to ensure that we have safe water to use and consume.

There are a number of water treatment processes that are used to improve the quality of water. Many of the treatment processes are used together to achieve the best results for the water. Here’s a rundown of some of the most commonly used water treatment processes:

• Sedimentation – this is where gravity is used to remove solid particles from within the water

• Disinfection – disinfecting the water involves using chemicals, such as chlorine, to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, and other substances in the water (and disinfection also typically uses filtration too)

• Filtration – the water is filtered through sand or a membranous filter to remove impurities

• Coagulation – by adding certain chemicals to the water, water treatment companies encourage particles to clump together, which makes them easier to remove through sedimentation

• Boiling and distillation – when you heat water to boiling point you kill harmful microbes and pathogens, and then the evaporation process allows for particles and chemical toxins to be removed from the water
