IMPORTANT NOTES
Your dosing system can enhance the eectiveness of your water filtration
system, making it more eicient and easier to maintain. Use it during
pre-treatment, primary treatment, or post-treatment to control pH levels,
eliminate bacteria & viruses, reduce chlorine, or other tasks related to
water treatment depending on your specific needs. Common types of
dosing solutions include....
1. Anti-silica: Compounds added to water treatment systems to
prevent the precipitation & buildup of silica, which can cause scaling
on membranes and other surfaces in the system. Examples: citric
acid, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium aluminate, polymers
2. 2. Anti-scalants: Anti-scalants: Used to prevent scale, or the formation of mineral
deposits on you filtration system & pipes which can clog the system
& reduce its eiciency. Examples: citric acid, polyacrylic acid,
polyphosphates
3. Disinfection: Used to disinfect water that has passed through your
filtration system. Reacts with organic matter & bacteria, killing
harmful microorganisms. Examples: chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone,
hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite
4. Anti-foulants: Used to prevent the buildup of biological fouling
in water systems. Fouling occurs when bacteria, algae, & other
microorganisms grow on the surfaces of filtration equipment & pipes,
reducing flow rate & increasing energy consumption. Examples:
chlorine, bromine, polyamines, glutaraldehyde
5. pH adjustment: Adds an acidic or basic compound to your water
to maintain pH levels within the optimum range for your system.
Examples: chlorine dioxide, calcium hydroxide, soda ash
The dosing solution used will depend on the specific contaminants
present in the water, the desired level of water purity, and the specific
application. Many treatment systems use a combination of dosing
solutions to achieve the desired result.
