Iron/Manganese
(Rusty Color, Sediment, Metallic taste, Reddish or Orange Staining) Iron
in water, either alone or in combination with other troublesome water
conditions, is frequent due to the fact that about 5% of the Earth’s
crust is made up of Iron. Though not found in a pure state, Iron ores
are abundant and widely distributed over the Earth. Iron water,
if not treated can lead to serious complications in many industrial
applications. In fact, there is hardly any wet process work that can be
carried out successfully with water that contains Iron. There is little doubt when water contains Iron. “Iron Water” readily stains plumbing fixtures porcelain cooking utensils, laundry machines, dishwashers, etc. Iron build up in pressure tanks, water heaters, and plumbing cause automatic water pressure reduction in the house/building reducing also the efficiency causing homeowners costly repairs throughout the years.
Chloramines
Chloramines
are a compound formed by feeding both Chlorine and Ammonia to the water
reservoir. This treatment has been used for controlling bacterial
growth in long pipe lines and in the applications where slower oxidizing
action is of particular benefit.
