Remove Iron and Manganese from Water
Manganese and iron (especially the latter) produce problems to water appliances and increase the hardness of water. Many types of treatment are effective for the removal of iron and manganese from ...
The Relation of Naturally Soft Water to Softened Water
It is unfortunate that softened water has been automatically classified as corrosive by some "experts." No doubt, this concept is the result of experiences with many of the water supplies in the N...
WATER SOFTENER INSTALLATION - pressure drop considerations
In making an installation, it's sound practice at the outset to drain all the pipes. Shut off the water at the meter or tank; Open laundry faucets, hot and cold. Proceed to open all other hot and ...
PRESSURE DROP CONSIDERATIONS II
The pressure drop in a water system varies with the length of pipe, and this must always be measured. In addition, the pressure drop effect of various common pipe fittings can be expressed in term...
PLACEMENT OF WATER CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT - rural areas
Where softeners are installed in rural areas, dry wells frequently can provide excellent drainage for the unit. In effect, such installations use the earth as a filter. Naturally such installation...
Placement Of Water Conditioning Equipment
After the basic plumbing requirements are taken into account, next consider the location of the equipment. Ideally, water conditioning equipment should be placed so that it is readily accessible a...
OXIDATION AND FILTRATION Oxidation is one of the common methods to purify water which is containing heavy metals. All concentrations of iron may be oxidized by feeding solutions of oxidizing agent...
The Methods for the Removal of Ionic Impurities from Water
Since many ions interfere with the beneficial uses of water, a number of methods have been developed for the reduction or substantial removal of ionic impurities from water.There are a number of ...
Virtually all inorganic reactions involved in geological and biological systems are ionic in nature, and ions and their reactions are essential to plant and animal life. Ions and ion exchange dete...
The use of a water softener unit is considered a satisfactory way to remove limited amounts of iron from water supplies. No hard and fast rules can be given on the amount of iron that can be trea...
Introduction to Water Chemistry
Based on the discoveries of our satellites, it appears that water is a unique substance in our discovered universe. The presence of water on earth is in itself unique, for the planet earth has fe...
Iron exists in three basic forms as elemental metallic iron, in ferrous (Fe++) and ferric (Fe +++) states. Ferrous iron usually occurs in water drawn from wells. It is present due to the solubili...
How to Interpret Water Analyses
Examine each of these analyses carefully now. Then consider the suggested solutions. Note the reasons given for these solutions. Perhaps other sound solutions come to mind. WATER ANALYSIS Example ...
Corrosion on the common household used metals
We have limited our illustrations of corrosive activity to iron. This is not perhaps too strange, for we are all apt to think of corrosion primarily in relation to iron. In fact, most people consi...
The Correct Procedures in Preparing Water Sample for Testing
Have you ever been concerned about your home water? If you are not satisfied with your water, you can simply bring the water sample to the local water lab, water-related business and see the detail...
