Disinfection of drinking water

At present, the fight against pathogens is crucial. For this purpose, water needs to be chlorinated using special AQUACHLOR electrolysis units. This will allow the disinfection of drinking water, employing an effective means for the disinfection and destruction of microorganisms and bacteria.

You can purchase AQUACHLOR electrolysis units and arrange for their subsequent maintenance at the holding company “Laboratory of Electrochemical Technologies,” which is a manufacturer of high-quality and reliable equipment for disinfection and purification of water resources.

Why water disinfection is necessary

Thanks to water chlorination, it is possible to eliminate intestinal infections and destroy pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms harmful to the human body. The Aquachlor system successfully accomplishes this mission through the synthesis of electrochemical processes during the unit’s operation. This action makes water resources safe from an epidemiological perspective, harmless in composition, and possessing organoleptic properties favorable for humans.

Applications of the Aquachlor system

Aquachlor units have found wide application in the following areas:

  • Enterprises preparing water for domestic needs.
  • Facilities preparing water for technical purposes.
  • Filling pools.
  • Water treatment facilities.

Advantages of AQUACHLOR units

The disinfection of drinking water occurs efficiently through the electrolytic system of Aquachlor, designed for liquid purification. Due to the system’s simple use, water chlorination can be performed quickly.

Advantages of the system include:

  • Environmental friendliness: the use of electrolytic equipment eliminates the need for chemical reagents that, in turn, soften the water but introduce harmful substances into its composition.
  • Compact size: despite its high productivity, the unit has small dimensions and weighs up to 80 kg.
  • Process automation: thanks to its design and technical properties, the unit operates in autonomous mode.

Acquiring AQUACHLOR electrolysis units is the optimal solution for water disinfection using modern technologies. To use a reliable system, you should contact the “LET” company and consider the offered range of units for chlorine production.

Unfortunately, even in the age of technology and technical progress, the quality of water supply in many settlements and cities still leaves much to be desired. Therefore, water disinfection filters for tap water remain in demand among the population. They allow removing impurities and pathogenic microbes that can harm human health when consumed, as well as reduce water hardness by removing non-biological substances. LLC “LET” is a supplier of AQUACHLOR units designed for water purification in various facilities.

Methods of treating drinking water

Among filters, there are several established methods to purify tap water from microorganisms, which are currently the most optimal and accessible solution in this area. The list of methods for disinfecting flowing drinking water includes:

  • Ultraviolet irradiation (UV): illumination and inactivation of microorganisms using ultraviolet light.
  • Tablets: chemical-based preparations for water detoxification.
  • Physical purification: methods for water purification from heavy pollution and impurities.

These methods combine different means of treatment and are applied depending on specific contamination conditions, ranging from the level to its nature. Among the available solutions, there will certainly be those suitable for your specific situation.

Methods of drinking water disinfection

Ultraviolet water purification

Disinfecting drinking water with ultraviolet light is one of the most effective methods of disinfection that does not require chemical or thermal treatment of water. The entire procedure involves using the light from a special ultraviolet water unit, which, through long waves, kills all pathogenic microflora in the water. Disinfection by this method is effective against viruses, bacteria, and fungi, leaving them no chance to reproduce and survive in the water environment.

However, removing dispersed elements and non-biological compounds is not the strong point of this method. The same applies to heavy sediments, the removal of which is better left to systems of rigid water filtration or thermal water treatment.

Water Disinfection with Tablets

This method is simpler and more cost-effective compared to various installations for water filtration and disinfection. The entire procedure involves mixing water with tablets or powdered agents that have antibacterial properties. These substances are primarily sodium hypochlorite-based, with an active chlorine source.

They are most effective against infectious and pathogenic contamination of the liquid, while they are not well-suited for dealing with mechanical and technical impurities. Tablets and chemical agents are recommended for use specifically in disinfecting water from pathogenic microorganisms.

Physical Treatment of Drinking Water

As part of the physical purification and disinfection process, water undergoes various stages, ranging from rigid filtration systems to high-pressure treatment. The procedure may vary based on the level and nature of contamination, but its primary focus is disinfection, primarily aimed at neutralizing or removing coarse and hard dispersed elements of substances, salts, impurities, gases, metals, and liquid processing by-products. The priority of these methods is to make water soft, suitable for both domestic and industrial applications.

These methods find application in eliminating mechanical impurities as well as removing microorganisms and bacteria. They include filtration, thermal treatment, and the application of pressure at various levels. This helps eliminate water hardness and various potentially harmful substances.
