What Is Well Water?

Do you know how to treat your well water? No, then read this article and you will know all about treating well water. Your home’s drinking water comes from either the local water utility company or a private well. Modern well water may be unfamiliar to you, yet it is not as uncommon as you may believe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, well water is being use in around 15 million houses in America. Water from a well is not pumped into your home via a city-wide network of pipes. Instead, a jet system pumps well water directly into your home from a neighbouring well. The most significant difference between well water and public tap water in terms of drinking water quality is the number of restrictions that are enforcing. The Environmental Protection Agency does not monitor or regulate well water.

If your family is using well water, they must maintain the well and verify that the water is safe to drink and use. 

So, what is well water, exactly? Water that comes from a well is called well water (also called groundwater).

A threshold underneath the ground’s surface stores groundwater. A well is a structure built to tap into and distribute groundwater to a house or other structure for usage. A well is excavated into the ground, and a pump is used to transport fresh water from the well to a dwelling for consumption. Wells have been utilized in practically every region for decades and are an excellent way to get water.

Is Well Water Good for You?

The local water utility company does not treat the water from private wells with chlorine or chloramines. Well water has a higher risk of bacterial or viral illness since it is not treated with chemicals designed to deal with organic pollutants. Shortly after intake, coliform bacteria can induce diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Accidents, such as septic tank ruptures, and unlucky environmental factors, such as agricultural or industrial runoff, can introduce coliform bacteria into well water. Pesticides can infiltrate into the soil and infect your well with nitrates as a result of runoff from surrounding farms.

Water which we get after treating well water is often as clean as or purer than tap water. Moreover, it is free of harmful chemicals. A private well’s owner is solely responsible for its maintenance and care. You have to test your well water on a regular basis and double-check that your well was built according to the recommending methodology. Additionally, by treating well water as it enters your home, you may eliminate undesired chemicals and cure taste and odour issues. 

Treating Well Water

Visible sediment, which might happen if you live in a sandy area near the ocean, is a common concern with treating well water. While sediment isn’t harmful to your health, the foul taste and gritty texture aren’t exactly refreshing. Whole-house water filtration systems can help prevent scale and corrosion while also eliminating sediment like sand and enhancing the flavor and fragrance of your well water. Private well owners are concerned about microbial contamination. We recommend combining reverse osmosis filtration with the power of ultraviolet therapy, especially if you have previously discovered impurities or had difficulties. A Reverse Osmosis Ultraviolet System placed in your kitchen filters out more than 100 toxins, ensuring the safest water for your family. 

Multiple levels of protection offer the best peace of mind for families who drink from private wells. A whole-house system’s sediment and carbon filters, along with reverse osmosis and UV treatment for drinking water, will provide water that is both refreshing and safe to drink.

Is Well Water Safe?

Well water is absolutely safe to drink and use when filtered through a well water filter system. Is it safe to drink or use unfiltered, untreated well water straight from the faucet? No way. We would also advise against drinking unfiltered, untreated water from a public source. Because it’s impossible to know what’s in your water at any one time, whether it comes from a well or a municipal source. Hence, it’s critical to utilize a water filter system. Water filtration systems improve the flavor and look of water while also removing hazardous chemicals and chemicals that aren’t visible. We all know how vital it is to consume clean water. So make sure the well water you consume in your home is filtered and healthy.

Well Water Testing

It’s critical to test the safety and cleanliness of your well water. Because the EPA and state regulators do not regulate private wells, homeowners are responsible for all water quality testing. A comprehensive exam should be performed on a regular basis, and it should include tests for:

  • Arsenic
  • Bacteria
  • Chromium 6
  • Mercury
  • Nitrates
  • Radon
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • And all other chemicals and contaminants

It is strongly advised that you do complete testing on a regular basis as a well owner. Water testing for lead, arsenic, chromium 6, mercury, radon, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) does not provide information unless those chemicals are explicitly tested for. The well owner must perform tests. If you have a private well system, it’s critical to undertake regular checks to verify the safety and quality of the water you drink and use. Even if the water appears to be clear, it could be poisoned. Furthermore, contamination levels may fluctuate at any time. Well water filters can clean and disinfect the water. But any water issues must be recognized through water testing to ensure the proper well water filter system is installed.

Bottom Line

Consult your local environmental health department for advice on the types and frequency of tests that are appropriate for your area. A sample of water from your home’s tap will be used in well water tests. This water sample is sent to a recognized testing lab, which will provide a report detailing the results of the water as well as the passing limits for each element. Our trained experts can examine the results. Moreover, they explain them to you. They also check and determine which type of well water filter system is appropriate for your needs.

Well owners should test their water for bacteria, nitrates, and any other contaminants that are to be present in the area at least once a year. Do you find this blog interesting?

Overview

According to the CPCB & GPCB legislative regulations, numerous infrastructures such as apartments, commercial construction projects, educational institutions, townships, and area development projects that meet specified conditions must include sewage treatment plants.

To ensure effective and safe operation of the machinery, the guideline regulations address factors such as STP site, STP technology to adopt, STP functioning, and STP maintenance.

Therefore, the GPCB & CPCB has established the following guidelines for STPs: 

Guidelines for Sewage Treatment Plants from the CPCB

1. STP Technology

The following are the CPCB approved STP technologies to use:

  • The ASP (Activated Sludge Process) is a method of treating sludge that has been activated (only when above 500 KLD sewage is generated).
  • Membrane BioReactor is a type of membrane bioreactor that uses membranes to (MBR).
  • Bio-Reactor in a Moving Bed (MBBR).

2. STP Unit Requirements

Individual units in sewage treatment plants perform various sewage treatment procedures. The following are the units and their criteria in accordance with the guidelines.

SL. NOUnit
Activated Sludge Process(ASP)
Sequential Batch Reactor(SBR)Membrane Bio Reactor(MBR)Moving Bed Bio Reactor(MBBR)
1Equalization TankA minimum holding period of 8 hours is also required.Similar to ASPSame as ASPSame as ASP
2Anoxic TankPump the activated sludge back to the anoxic tank for denitrification.Not required

3Aeration TankMoreover, in the Aeration Tank, dissolved oxygen in excess of 4 mg/L must be maintained.Same as ASPSimilar to ASPSame as ASP
4Membrane TankNot requiredNot requiredMembranes should be replaced regularly as per its manufacturer’s specifications.Not required
5Sludge Holding TankAlso sludge holding should be required for the storage of excess sludge prior to dewatering.Same as ASPSimilar to ASPSame as ASP
6Final Treated Water Holding TankThe tank’s capacity should be sufficient to hold water for at least two days.Same as ASPSame as ASPSimilar to ASP
7Sludge Drying BedFor >500KLD STPs, a horozontal centrifuge system should also be utilised instead of a sludge drying bed.
Belt press or screw press system should also be utilised for STPs up to 500 KLD.
Same as ASPSimilar to ASPSame as ASP
Table 1

3. STP Requirements for Mechanical Equipment

The Bar Screen Chamber and Oil & Grease Chamber of STPs installed should have evident and also have simple access. In addition, the equipment should be submersible and easy to remove/dismantle anytime repair is required. Finally, to decrease noise pollution, STP air blowers should have vibration mounts and acoustic enclosures. 

4. STP’s location

STPs should be placed beneath driveways, play areas, or clubhouses and also far away from residential areas to avoid causing any inconvenience to residents. STP should also not be used in any building’s basement. To reduce complications caused by rain, flooding, odour, or sound, access to the STP room should be from the ground level or upper basement via well-designed pathways or headroom, rather than from the lowest basement.

5. Standards for Treated Sewage

According to CPCB, the treated sewage must meet the following requirements. 

SL. NOParameterRequired Standards
1pH6.5-8.5
2BOD(5th day)<10mg/l
3COD<50mg/l
4Suspended Solids<10mg/l
5Ammonical Nitrogen<5mg/l
6Total Nitrogen<5mg/l
7Fecal Coliform<100 MPN/100 ml
Table 2

6. Sensor installation guidelines

Sensors for monitoring sewage parameters such as BOD, COD, TSS, flow, and pH are required to be installed. The following are the CPCB’s suggested sensor types and communication protocols. 

SL. NOParameterMeasurement type Sensor type Communication Protocol
1pHInlineIon Selective Glass ElectrodesRS 485 Communication with Modbus
2TSSInlineTurbidity to TSS correlation with

4CODInlineUV-Vis Spectrophotometry
& combustion(Double beam
with entire spectrum scanning
RS 485 Communication with Modbus
5FlowInlineElectromagnetic Flow Measurement RS 485 Communication with Modbus
Table 3

7. Caution Board at STP

At STP areas, proper cautionary signboards should be shown, and safety standards should be observed. For maintenance personnel and the general public, “Danger” Sign Boards should also be placed at the STP location. At sewage water taps, the phrase “water not suited for drinking” shall be prominently displayed. 

8. Sewage Treatment

The treated water should also be used for toilet flushing, which should be done with a dual plumbing system.

9. STPs’ Modular Operations

STPs that operate in a modular manner should be developed/constructed in smaller units so that they can be used according to the load or occupancy of people according to CPCB. The occupancy in the early stages of significant projects where a higher capacity of STPs is required cannot meet the operational standards of the STP. As a result, the element should be taken into account throughout the planning stage. 

GPCB conditions underwater act:

The below mentioned are just some of the conditions under water act: 

  • The total water usage shall not exceed 4.000 KL/Day, as broken down in form D, which was filed as part of a consent application under the 1974 Water Act. Domestic: 1.000 KL/Day a) Industrial: 3.000 KL/Day b) Industrial: 3.000 KL/Day.
  • The total amount of wastewater generated per day must not exceed 0.800 KL per day, as specified in form D, which was filed as part of a consent application under the Water Act of 1974. Domestic: 0.800 KL/Day a) Industrial: 0.000 KL/Day b) Industrial: 0.000 KL/Day
  • Sewage shall be disposed of in a septic tank/soak pit system or separately treated in a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). They have to meet the following requirements, with treated sewage being used for irrigation/plantation on land. Alternatively, sewage and also industrial effluent will be treated in the same ETP.
  • The industrial effluent generated by the manufacturing process and other auxiliary industrial operations shall not be discharged. Thus the unit must carefully adhere to zero liquid discharge (ZLD). 
  • The unit must provide suitable storage facilities for the effluent, such as acid-resistant brick-lined impermeable tanks or HDPE tanks.
  • In the Effluent Treatment Plant, the unit must make a permanent arrangement. Any by-pass line or system, as well as any loose or flexible pipeline, shall not be kept in the ETP.
  • To monitor the amount of effluent, magnetic flow metres must be put at the intake and outflow of effluent collection tanks/ETPs.
  • The unit must have suitable and also have safe effluent sampling facilities for wastewater contained in the ETP/final STP’s collecting/discharge tank.

Overview

The amount of soluble particles in a volume of water is refer to as the total dissolved solids (TDS) level. We call water as the universal solvent because of its capacity to dissolve and absorb molecules from a variety of substances. Organic or inorganic total dissolved solids are also possible. The amount of total dissolved solids in your water, as well as which total dissolved solids are present, give you an idea of how good your water is. The numerous types of total dissolved solids, how to measure them, and how to reduce total dissolved solids in your water are all covered in the following section of this article. 

Hazardous chemicals from various water treatment plants are present in our drinking water nowadays. As a result, the natural minerals in the water are being using up. It is critical to utilize adequate filtering procedures to eliminate impurities and make water safe to drink in such a situation. Total dissolved solids, which are left in the water after the regular filtration process, are the most common pollutant. Total dissolved solids are contaminants greater than 2 microns in size. A fine filter eliminates particles with a diameter of 0.45 microns that come from a variety of sources. After the filtering procedure, charged atoms and ions make up the leftover pollutants in the water.

What is TDS in water? 

We can refer the total concentration of soluble chemicals in drinking water to as Total Dissolved Solids.

TDS is made up mostly of inorganic salts with a trace of organic stuff for good measure. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium are positively charge cations, while negatively charged anions make up inorganic salts (carbonates, nitrates, bicarbonates, chlorides, and sulfates). The total dissolved solids level indicates how much TDS is present in the water. 

TDS is a measurement of anything that isn’t an H2O molecule soluble in water. When water comes into contact with soluble material, it absorbs the particles, resulting in total dissolved solids. TDS in water can come from a variety of sources, including natural water springs, municipal water treatment chemicals, and so on. 

TDS levels in water range from moderate to high, which alters the water’s flavor and poses a number of health risks. Using the best RO water purifier in India is one of the most effective ways to keep the TDS level in check. In this blog, we go over the various methods for removing excess TDS from water.

What is the purpose of measuring total dissolved solids?

Water testing is a terrific technique to ensure the quality of the water you get and utilize for various purposes. Here are a few reasons why you should test your water for total dissolved solids:

  • Taste- The taste of your drinking water will be affecting by high TDS levels. Depending on the sort of dissolved solids in your water, your water may taste bitter, salty, or sulfuric.
  • Health purposes- Water with a high TDS content is perfectly fine to drink for health reasons. However, some substances, such as lead and copper, can be hazardous to one’s health.
  • Filter maintenance- A high quantity of TDS affects water filtration systems. Testing the water purifier systems on a regular basis helps guarantee that the filters are in good working order.
  • Cooking- While a high TDS level isn’t harmful to your health, it might change the flavor of your meal.
  • Cleaning- Water with a high TDS level produces unsightly stains on utensils. This type of water also stains your clothes and causes buildup in your sinks, tubs, and faucets.

What is the Purpose of TDS Measuring?

The water you receive contains more than the maximum amount of total dissolved solids that should be present in water. Water with a TDS of more than 1000 mg/L is unsafe to drink. TDS levels in the water that are too high can cause a variety of health issues. The presence of potassium, sodium, and chlorides in the water raises the TDS level. Toxic ions like lead, nitrate, cadmium, and arsenic, which can be found in water, can cause a variety of severe health problems. The purer the water, the better one’s health will be. TDS measuring is especially important for children because their defence systems have not fully developed, and they are exposed to contaminants at a much higher rate.

Because TDS in water is not a measure of any particular contaminant, many regulatory authorities do not regulate it as a health hazard. However, a high TDS level can alter the taste and smell of water. We use TDS metreto determine the TDS level in the water. We can determine the total amount of soluble solids in water using a TDS test. It does not, however, identify any specific substances or sources. As a result, we need to do several extra tests to determine the pollutants present in water.

TDS in Water: How to Reduce or Remove It?

Reverse Osmosis (R.O.): Reverse osmosis eliminates TDS by pushing water through a synthetic membrane under pressure. Only molecules with a diameter of less than 0.0001 microns can flow through the tiny holes in the membraneWater squeezes through the membrane, leaving the dissolved metals and salts behind because the metals and salts’ molecules are more significant than the water molecules.

Distillation: Boiling water produces water vapor in this process. Water vapor rises to a cool surface and condenses back into a liquid state. Because the dissolved salts can’t evaporate, they stay in the boiling solution.

Deionisation (DI): We use a positive and negative electrode to pass water through this process. Positive ions can split from the water and move towards the negative electrode thanks to the ion-selective membranes. The end result is highly pure deionized water. To remove non-ionic organic pollutants, the water is first run through a reverse osmosis device.

Bottom Line 

Natural sources, sewage, urban run-offs, industrial wastewater, chemicals used in the water treatment process, chemical fertilizers used in the garden, and plumbing are all sources of TDS in drinking water. Water is a universal solvent that can easily pick up contaminants and quickly absorb and dissolve them. Although high TDS levels in drinking water may not pose a health risk, they give the water a bitter, salty, or brackish flavor. Water hardness, scale development, and discoloration can all be caused by calcium and magnesium; two minerals typically present in TDS.

TDS levels in mineral water must be kept at a certain level. Your body will get the essential dissolved organic and inorganic salts if the TDS level in your water is kept at an appropriate level.

Overview

Testing the salinity of water is one of the most important measures you can take when determining the quality of water. Amount of dissolved salts in water is referred to as salinity. This is usually expressed as a percentage or in parts per thousand. To get this reading, you’ll need to test the conductivity of the water, which you can do with a toroidal or touch conductivity sensor. It’s important to remember that the best salinity measurement is dependent on the body of water you’re measuring, regardless of the type of sensor you use.

Salinity  

We can refer the quantity of dissolved salts found in water to as salinity. Water salinity, or the amount of dissolved salt in i water is salinity. In general, it refers to the amount of mineral salts dissolved in water. Electrical conductivity or concentration are two ways to express salinity. When explaining salinity influenced by seawater, the concentration of chlorides in the water is often used. Primary salinity (also known as natural salinity), secondary salinity (also known as dryland salinity), and tertiary salinity are the three types of salinity that can be categorized based on their triggers (also called irrigation salinity).

Freshwater, for example, has a salinity of about 0.5ppt or less. Salinity levels in the open sea, on the other hand, can be greater than 30 ppt because oceans are made up of saltwater. Water salinity testing is essential for a variety of reasons. Salinity measurements, for example, are crucial in estuaries where freshwater and saltwater combine. Moreover, salinity levels are different for different aquatic species. 

Salinity measurements are essential in various industries, including health, livestock, manufacturing, wastewater, and agriculture, in addition to aquaculture.

In the wastewater industry, it’s vital to test treated water to ensure that the majority of the salt has been washed out until it’s released back into the atmosphere. Urban and rural runoff from stormwater, sewage, and agriculture are some of the many causes of salinity that occur with freshwater. Small increases in water salinity can cause a variety of environmental problems, the most serious of which is the extinction of plant and animal life.

Why Should You Use a Salinity Meter?

Using a salinity meter, which can provide you with reliable readings, is one of the most effective ways to test salinity. The fact that a salinity meter provides you with salinity readings automatically is probably the best feature. Although conductivity sensors may aid in salinity calculation, they do not provide precise readings. Instead, they calculate water conductivity, which refers to how well water can carry an electrical current. High conductivity readings often mean high salinity measurements since conductivity readings concentrate on the amount of total solids dissolve that is present in water.

We use Salinity meters to assess salinity in wastewater, surface water, and groundwater if you want to use one. To measure the quality of water for fish farming, we widely use salinity meters. They can also be used in agriculture to determine if water is clean and suitable for irrigation. Salinity meters and other methods for measuring salinity in water are important if you work in an industrial environment. This is to ensure that industrial waste does not contain excessive amounts of dissolved salts. If you want to conduct simple field tests with a hand-held meter that provides fast results, you can use a salinity meter if you’re investigating the best ways to calculate salinity. We use a conductivity sensor to get estimate reading of salinity. This is also very useful for determining the consistency of water and the amount of pollutants present.

Electromagnetic mapping

Electromagnetic mapping instruments, of which there are many types to choose from, maybe useful for large-scale testing. We use instruments such as the EM31 and EM38 to map the spatial variability of soil. This allow salinity measurements to take over larger areas. Electromagnetic mapping instruments can be the right solution for you if you need to quickly calculate salinity variations across an entire paddock. We use these instruments are commonly in the land-use planning industry because salinity can be calculated over large areas. An electromagnetic mapping method can accurately calculate areas with high and low conductivity readings. Although salinity meters are useful for small-scale research, mapping tools enable you to perform highly detailed water and soil tests in the laboratory. If your salinity readings aren’t where you want them to be, you can use these tests to finish the on-site tests you started. 

Benefits of Testing Salinity of Water

There are several advantages of measuring the salinity of the water. The exact benefits, however, are dependent on the sector in which you work. In estuaries and seawater, where freshwater and saltwater combine, determining the salinity of the water is crucial.

Since different aquatic organisms need different levels of salinity to survive. If you want to make sure the various bodies of water will support the types of organisms that live there, you’ll need to measure the salinity of the water. Seawater aquatic species can survive salinity levels as high as 40ppt. Organizations that need freshwater for survival are usually unable to survive in water with a salinity greater than 1ppt. Keep in mind that the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is often determined by salinity. As salinity levels rise, oxygen becomes less soluble, resulting in a reduction in the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Dissolved oxygen is necessary or essential for the survival of many aquatic species. As compared to oxygen in freshwater, oxygen in seawater is around 20% less soluble. 

More Benefits

When using a salinity meter or similar instrument to calculate the salinity of water, we determine the optimum salinity levels by the water’s intended use. Freshwater used for drinking and irrigation has salinity levels of 0.5ppt or less. Aquatic habitats can begin to suffer if salinity levels are less than 1ppt but greater than 0.5ppt. The water is salty when the salinity readings are between 2-10ppt. As a result, it is suitable for most livestock. The water is considered highly saline when the salinity readings are between 10-35ppt and can only be used by some forms of livestock. 

We xan describe brine as water with a salinity content greater than 35 ppt, which is the type of water that is present in the ocean. For industrial and mining purposes, a brine solution is widely used. Since brine is an excellent deicing agent, we often use them on roads in the winter to prevent ice and snow from sticking to the pavement. Other industries that use salt brine include food processing, food storage, and industrial refrigeration. 

Bottom Line 

Any body of water may experience the effects of salinity. Freshwater aquatic species need only a small amount of dissolved salts to survive. Saltwater species, on the other hand, would be unable to survive in low-salinity water. The following are some of the possible environmental and economic consequences of high salinity levels in water and soil:

  1. Due to the poor health and growth of salt-intolerant crops, average crop yields have decreased.
  2. The death or deterioration of native plants, resulting in reduced biodiversity resulting from an increase in salt-resistant species.
  3. Infrastructure, such as bridges, highways, and fences, can corrode.
  4. Aquatic species that require specific salinity levels to survive in their natural environment die.

If salinity readings are too high, the only way to lower salinity levels is to change the water’s balance. This will necessitate the replacement of the existing water with freshwater. Until you start measuring the salinity of water, make sure you have a water meter or conductivity sensor that you know will give you accurate results. Do you find this blog interesting?

Overview

A good water purifier extracts excess salts, suspended particles, and microbes. They also maintain the necessary vitamins and minerals in the water itself. Nowadays, pure, clean, healthy water is not readily available. This is due to rising populations, industrial growth, and environmental degradation. So it is even more necessary for us to be aware of purification techniques in this scenario. In order to ensure that our drinking water is of good quality, we also have to check out the available water purifiers on the market. Many minerals are naturally present in water, and these are important for the human body. However, having or consuming an excess amount of these minerals can cause several illnesses.

On the same mechanical concept, both water filters and water purifiers work. First, they suck up dirty water or water contaminated, flush out impurities ranging from sediments to micro-organisms, and then distribute clean water. There is a significant difference between the two. The main difference is that a purifier will kill viruses and bacteria that can not be removed by filters. To destroy or trap viruses, some purifiers use chemicals, and others use an electrostatic charge. You cannot buy water purifier frequently. Thus, you have to manage your water purifier properly to ensure that infectious toxins do not pollute the drinking water.

Evolution of purification technique

Adding chlorine to water was one of the first ways of purifying water. Chlorine releases Hydrochloric acid (HCL), which interacts with the micro-organisms and destroys them. There is a water filter on all water purifiers. There are six different forms that are:

  • Active carbon filter: Soluble gases such as chlorine, carbon monoxide, nitrogen, ammonia, and organic materials are filtered using this type of filter.
  • Biosand filter: It is a type of vessel filled with sand and gravel layers that separate polluted water from bacteria and suspended solids.
  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) filters: The Reverse Osmosis (RO) method provides multi-stage water filtration by combining activated carbon with particulate filtration.
  • Ultra Violet (UV) filters: By targeting the DNA in cells, UV light passes on to water to destroy bacteria and other microbes.
  • Ceramic filters: These are hollow cylinders typically made of clay mixed with an explosive substance such as sawdust, coffee husks, or rice husks.
  • Ion exchange resins filters: Here, water goes through resins that soften water by absorbing the present minerals.

How to maintain water purifiers

Wash the water filters every 6 to 12 months, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions and the water supply quality.

Since total dissolved solids (TDS) can produce a bad smell when it accumulates, it is essential to have the filters cleaned periodically. You already have to clean the purifier if the water tastes odd or weird. Another method to check whether it is time for the cleaning of purifier is by testing the machine’s water pressure. You have to clean the purifier if the differential pressure is above 10%.

Cleaning the filters regularly:

There are usually three to five filtration stages for a water purifier. When the filters contains a lot of impurities and stops working, then it means that we need to clean and sanitize them regularly. 

  • In the pre-filtration stage, they contain a filter cartridge that leaves out sand, and other sediments consist of the pre-filtering process. Every six to nine days (for industrial RO) and every quarter (for Domestic RO), you must change the pre-filter cartridge.
  • The second stage of the filtration process is the carbon filter that eliminates chlorine and bad smell. 
  • The third stage is where the residual sediments are excluded and drained from the membrane.

Cleaning and sanitization:

Water purifier must be well washed and sanitized by specialists. 2-3 times in a year, depends on volume of water filtered; it needs to go through sanitization and also recharge. It is better to call a professional for this process. We should do this step very carefully. So it’s better to have an expert to clean and sanitize your water purifier. Avoid use of the water right after cleaning. 

Installing softener for efficient functioning:

Softeners work well with a water purifier scheme. The softener helps to improve the durability of water purifiers. It is challenging to add softeners since you need to know where to mount them. Usually professionals do this processes or procedure as it involves a large amount of plumbing.

Keep the water purifier’s exteriors CLEAN:

To make your water purifier last longer, you need to clean it frequently. Also, make sure you continue to clean the tap that is mostly connected to the water purifier. Also, you can use soap water to clean the outside surface area of the water purifier.

Bottom Line

A water purifier guarantees that it removes all the physical or organic impurities and clear from the water you use. It ensures that the water you use is clean and uncontaminated by using a combination of various filters and purification technologies. It is, therefore, necessary to investigate the periodic maintenance of water purifiers and their filters. Getting your water purifier frequently serviced by expert technicians ensures that it offers optimal cleaning at all times.

What is a water softener?

When water contains large amount of calcium, magnesium and certain other metal cations it is called hard water. Water softening is the removal of calciummagnesium and other metal. Water softener eliminates minerals that causes water hardness.

This is the most common issues and many industries face this issue. Hard water destroys expensive tools and equipment in the industry. It saves you a lot of time, energy, and money by just investing on water softener, and it also protects your equipment and your industry.

For the proper operation and maintenance of costly machinery, the correct balance of minerals from the incoming water to industrial systems is essential. To have a consistent finished product is also crucial. To continue the industrial process, industrial water softeners extract excess minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, to a defined and controlled amount. The method of purification and softening of industrial water includes water that is unfit for industrial use. With the right pH balance, it transforms into water that is free from sediment and contaminants.

Our professional advice from us will ensure that your industrial water complies with or exceeds industrial water purification requirements. Based on your industry’s needs, specifications, and the quantity and flow rate needed for your systems, we will carefully produce the best industrial water treatment solution. The unwanted calcium, magnesium, and iron ions are substituted for sodium ions during the industrial water softening process. Sodium ions already present in softened water undergo the processes unchanged. Once the water softener’s resin bed is filled with unwanted ions, a regeneration system takes place that flushes the resin bed out. The water softening mechanism is reversed during regeneration. New sodium ions often replace the unwanted ions in the resin bed for subsequent water softening.

Water softener Types

Salt-based ion-exchange softener:

Salt-based water softeners extract calcium and magnesium ions from hard water by substituting these ions for sodium ions. Ion exchange occurs within the resin tank of salt-based water softeners. This decreases the mineral count while increasing its total salt content. Hardness minerals present in water are substituted for sodium by an ion exchange water softener. The soft mineral is present as scale deposits on the softener resin beads and does not build upon surfaces.

Salt-free softener:

With a potassium-chloride salt substitution, rather than sodium, a salt-free water softener regenerates. For individuals who are worrying about the salt consumption, this form of the device could be a safer choice. This sort of water softener is simply a water softener or descaler. It does not decrease hard water minerals but rather prevents the deposition of minerals on the surfaces of water-using devices and pipes as a scale. 

Dual tank water softener system:

It is to detach from the water system when recharging a water softener, essentially out of service. The regeneration period occur at night for this purpose. When softened water is required during the regeneration cycle, it can be problematic. It might be wise to consider a dual-tank water-softening device with two resin tanks if the downtime of the water softener is a concern.

Benefits of industrial water softeners:

  • Reduced use of chemicals or cost
  • Reduced usage of energy
  • Extended Life of Machinery / Appliance
  • Lower cost of repairs & maintenance
  • More reliable consistency of the water

Choosing the best water softener

The first step in selecting the right water softener for your purposes is to consider the variations between the different types of water softener units available on the market.

It can be challenging and challenging to pick the right water softener system for your needs. The use of consistent and quality materials inside the product is the most significant difference between many water softening systems. Softener consist of mainly seven elements. Those are valve power, bedding of resin, quartz or gravel, a tank of resin, distributor, a tank of brine, and float. Valve control and resin quality are the most significant among them. So, you must consider these two elements for having the best softener system.

Control Valve:

The valve is an essential component of the system since it regulates and assesses the usage, flow, and reserve capacity requirements of water. When we recharge the machine, the valve can decide how much salt and water to use to achieve a complete regeneration period.

Resin:

It is essential to use quality resin in water treatment systems in and around the Phoenix region. The resin, through an ion-exchange mechanism, attracts the minerals to it.

Then price, reliability, quality of components, etc., are also factors we have to consider while purchasing or choosing a water softener system.

Price:

Many individuals prefer to associate high-priced water softeners with consistency. That’s incorrect. You also have to consider the budget, like other significant variables and specifications.

Efficiency:

In this case, efficiency should be based on energy, salt use, and water use. Some models use salt, and some do not. If you find a water softener that wastes less water during backwashing.

Grain capacity:

When selecting or choosing a water softener, if there is anything you need to consider, then it is the grain capacity. It affects the ion exchange mechanism or rather the process of softening. This brings in another aspect that demands a degree of consideration-hardness. Before going choosing a water softener, you should measure the water hardness level. Compare the grain capacity and the degree of hardness of your water source. This helps you select a softening device that can manage your water’s hardness level effectively.

Bottom Line 

Water softeners are, technically, a method of water filtration. We offer AMC and also provide spare parts of water softeners. We also supply your Softener filtration unit with the highest quality filters, spares, media, pumps, optical meters, etc. Our team at Jateen Trading Co. will develop and deliver treatment systems to our clients with fast turnaround times.

To keep the machine running efficiently, and timely repairs, and routine water softener maintenance is also recommended.

We will follow all the protocols to solve all the issues and make sure that the water softener continues to work as it should and extend its serviceability.
