Water purification is a process that removes contaminants
from water and makes it safe for human consumption. The contaminants may
include bacteria, viruses, parasites, chemicals, and other substances that can
be harmful.
Types of Water Purification
There are two types of water purification: distillation and
filtration. Distillation involves boiling water in an open container, which
evaporates the water's impurities into steam before condensing them back into
liquid form. Filtration works by passing the water through a porous material or
membrane that only allows tiny particles to pass through.
Hydrefiner Water Filtration
Hydrefiner water filtration systems are an innovative
approach to improving the quality of your home's water. Hydrefiner
water filtration systems use a unique combination of technology and design
to provide you with cleaner, healthier water. Rainsoft hydrefiner in Pompano
Beach is an excellent solution for those who live in areas where the water is
particularly hard or has a high concentration of minerals. Rainsoft hydrefiner
in Pompano Beach filters out harmful pollutants like chlorine, lead, and
mercury from your drinking water as well as reduces sediment.
Pre-filters
The first step is pre-filtering. A pre-filter from Coastal Energy Water and Air Pompano Beach
is designed to remove large particles of sediment and other debris before they
have a chance to get into the water tank and affect the taste of the water.
Water filtration South Florida systems are usually made from pleated paper or a
synthetic material such as polyester or polypropylene. The filter media used in
pre-filters are very thin so that they can be easily installed in the housing.
The water filtration South Florida systems are connected to the main filter
housing using either bib connectors or quick disconnect fittings. Pre-filters
can be installed anywhere along the water line, but it is recommended that you
use them before any other type of filter media.
Reverse Osmosis
The second step is reverse osmosis, which is a water
purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove ions,
molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. It works by applying
pressure to the solution being purified, forcing it and the contaminants
through the membrane while allowing only pure water molecules to pass through.
The result is clean, great-tasting drinking water.
Ultraviolet Disinfection
Ultraviolet disinfection is the most effective way to purify
water. It kills bacteria, viruses, and protozoa by destroying their DNA, making
them unable to reproduce.
Ultraviolet light can be produced by a number of different
forms of technology. In the simplest terms, ultraviolet light is produced by
passing electricity through a gas or liquid that emits short-wave radiation
when it is excited. The UV light is then focused into a small spot and directed
at the water being treated.
The most common form of technology used for this purpose is
called "broad spectrum" ultraviolet light (UVB). This type of UV
light will kill most microorganisms in water and can be very effective when
used correctly. The downside of broad-spectrum UV is that it may not kill all types
of microorganisms; in particular, Cryptosporidium oocysts are resistant to
broad-spectrum UVB treatment.
Another form of technology used for water treatment is
called "laser enhanced" ultraviolet disinfection, or LEU. LEU uses a
special lamp that produces both UVA and UVB radiation at the same time with
greater intensity than other UV systems do on their own. LEU is more efficient
than other forms of water treatment.
