Chlorination<\/strong><\/p>\n

The treatment process in which chlorine gas or a chlorine solution is added to water for disinfection and control of microorganisms. Chlorination is also used in the oxidation of dissolved iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide impurities.\u00a0This method of disinfection involves adding chlorine to water to make it safer to drink. It\u2019s common, cost-effective, and quick, killing many pathogenic microorganisms. It can even oxidize or break down iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide, which can result in water that is clearer and tastes better.<\/p>\n

Some people find that chlorine gives water its own objectionable chemical taste and odor. The residual chlorine can be filtered out with activated carbon for drinking and cooking or for the whole house.<\/p>\n

Ultraviolet (UV) Light<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UV disinfection method, which does not involve chemicals, has long been popular for commercial use, but is becoming more common in homes. UV systems expose water to light at just the right wavelength for killing microbes. It\u2019s a way to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, and cysts that may be present in the water.
\nThe effectiveness of UV treatment depends on the strength and intensity of the light, the amount of time the light shines through the water, and the quantity of particles present in the water. The light source must be kept clean and the UV lamp replaced periodically.\u00a0UV light treatment can\u2019t remove gases, heavy metals, and particulates; for that reason, higher-end systems may include additional filtration such as activated carbon.<\/p>\n[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”2″ gal_title=”Chlorination\/UV product”]\n
