Myth #5 - Maintenance is not required

Water treatment systems vary in size, type, and treatment level but regardless of the system, as is the case with any equipment with moving parts, maintenance is required. In addition, constant monitoring is necessary to insure that the desired water quality is achieved. Assigning the responsibility and creating a log sheet of readings is a great way to insure that monitoring is being completed on a regular basis. Preventive maintenance programs when completed on a regular basis will reduce down time and costly repairs. 

 

Myth #4 - Off the Shelf Systems Will Meet your Needs

Water treatment systems vary in size, type, and treatment level. Most companies have numerous types of treatment systems available. Determining what system will work best for your application requires some expertise and testing of your waste stream. 

Most successful systems utilize a combination of technologies to accomplish successful recycling. Too often, a company will purchase a packaged treatment system only to find it does not meet the needs of their operation. 

To be successful may require a pretreatment solution, a treatment solution, and a post treatment solution. The best way to insure success is to work with a company that is deep in knowledge of handling waste water solutions. Testing of the water and designing a system specific to your application is the only recipe for success.

 

Myth # 3- Potable (Drinkable) Water can not be achieved using Recycle Water

Potable (Drinkable) water can be achieved from Recycled Water by incorporating different technologies with steps which include ozone, ultraviolet disinfection, and carbon filtering.   Typically the final step involves membrane filtration.

The systems are normally only cost effective when there is a shortage of potable water readily available or the value of conserving water is considerable to the individual or company.
