| Commercial water systems
Commercial water systems and treatment plants are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, among other organizations. The water they supply must meet certain standards for clarity.
|
| Desalinization systems
When areas don't have an adequate supply of fresh water, whether due to climate, geography, or drought conditions, they may turn to desalinization systems.
|
| Filtration systems
Filtration systems are used in both home and commercial applications, to purify the water. Commercial filtration usually begins by adding a coagulant to the water, waiting for settling, floatation or other sorting to occur, then passing the water through a filter.
|
| How much do systems cost?
Treatment systems for the home can vary widely in price, ranging from $25 for faucet-mounted carbon filters, to several thousand dollars for a top-of-the-line ion-exchange water softener.
|
| Manufacturer warranties
The manufacturer warranty on water treatment systems will vary widely,depending on the type of system, and the brand. There are no absolute rules, but generally, the less expensive the device, the shorter thewarranty.
|
| Residential water systems
Water purifiers for the home range from simple, point-of-use carbon filters, to reverse osmosis units that serve the whole house. The system you choose will depend on what type of water problem you're trying to solve.
|
| Servicing treatment systems
Most water treatment systems require some type of regular maintenance, to keep them working properly. This varies, depending on the type of system, how much water is used, and the original quality of that water.
