Knowing About the Water

Turbidity (Cloudy Water)

Turbidity or cloudiness in water is caused by very small particles that remain suspended and tend to float because of their very low density. Some Turbidity (both organic or inorganic in nature) in surface water will settle out when the water is allowed to stand, however a portion of this material may be present as finely divided, colloidal matter and cannot be removed by settling. In general, most Turbidity in residential water treatment can be removed by passing the water through a “Bed” tank of granular-style media in a sediment filtration system. Make sure you consult with a water specialist to recommend you a proper unit.
