Understanding Turbidity in Water
Turbidity measures how clear a liquid is.
Turbid water appears cloudy, murky, or unclear.
It can result from dirt, sediment, particles, inorganic materials, or other substances.
The standard for potable water turbidity is 4.0 NTU or lower.
Letting water sit in a glass may allow suspended particles to settle, making it clearer.
How Can Turbidity Be Treated?
Filtration Methods: Turbidity is primarily addressed through filtration processes.
​
Filtration Options: Choose between cartridge filtration or self-cleaning units based on water condition severity.
​
Cartridge Filtration: Best suited for low turbidity levels, as high turbidity can clog filters, leading to reduced water pressure.
​
Self-Cleaning Units: Feature automated daily cleaning cycles that flush sediment and particulates to drain.
​
Pre-Treatment Strategy: Remove turbidity before treating other minerals to minimise suspended contaminants effectively.
​
Filtration Grades: Multiple filtration grades are available to meet diverse water treatment requirements.
