Safe Options Required For Drinking Water Filtration Systems

By Jordan Schmidt


Inadequate and unsafe water use is one main cause of morbidity and or mortality in the society. Healthy sources of this commodity are therefore required for a successful growth in both social and economic activities. The beauty of clean and safe sources cannot therefore be over emphasized. No single individual would wish to consume contaminated fluids. Concerned authorities have equally employed varying measures intended to attain this goal. One such measure is installation of drinking water filtration systems.

In the past centuries, pollution was not a major concern of communities living then. There was no serious pollution causing industries as there are now. Then, some sources could be used without prior check or tests conferring proof of safety. This practice is no more and all water sources including springs require verification before use. Processing chain may be very complex or simple depending on amount of water involved and the purpose for which it is being processed.

Filtration process intended to achieve purification may take many approaches. Intended use of resultant fluid dictates the approach or approaches suitable for achieving desired end result. When filtering fluids, the intention is to separate large sized materials. All the same, different filtering units remove different sizes of impurities. For this reason, various items may be very necessary to filter out different items. Gravel and sand of different diameters may therefore be employed.

When all large solids have been eliminated from targeted sources then minor pollutants must equally be dealt with to improve its safety level. The very first form of filtering mechanism involves use of rapid sand filtration system. The sand used in this case must allow quick drain through sand layer and is intended to trap only large sized items. Microscopic materials find their way down the filters and therefore call for additional filtration process.

A second filtration options serves to eliminate even smaller entities suspended. In fact, the resultant fluid can directly be consumed as it is free from most impurities as well as pathogens. Disease causing organisms like amoeba are filtered out in this process. However, dissolved chemicals including heavy metals cannot be eliminated this way and therefore require other finer options.

Third in this category are the membrane filters. They are fine and very useful in removing additional fine impurities. A positive pressure is needed to drive the fluid through these small pores. Fluid resulting from these processes may not be as pure as those obtained through distillation but contain minimal contamination and are therefore safe for human consumption.

For effective elimination of these undesired dissolved ions, it is necessary that ultra filtration membrane polymers are used. These forms of filters are fine enough and are designed to aid elimination of undesired chemical constituents. In addition, ion exchange strategies allows for efficient elimination of undesired components in exchange for less harmful ions that do not threaten health.

Let all persons be safe. Safety is necessary for disease prevention. It is one way of reducing disease burden on a population.
