Eliminate Bacteria And Odor With Our State Of The Art, High Efficiency, On-demand Chlorine Injection System

How Chemical Injection Systems Purify Your Water

If you have a well or live far from municipally treated water, you need to have your own water treatment system. With the right system, you can enjoy water free from impurities and unpleasant odors.

Impurities in Your Water

Although your water may look clear, a closer look may reveal that your water has the following impurities:

chemical injection systemIron

Many water sources have high levels of iron. Although this mineral can be good for you in small doses, excessive iron consumption can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dehydration. Additionally, people with hemochromatosis have difficulty regulating iron absorption, so too much iron in drinking water could aggravate the condition.

Hydrogen Sulfide

Hydrogen sulfide is a mineral that can create an unpleasant rotten egg smell. However, odor aside, hydrogen sulfide also can have a laxative effect that leads to dehydration. Although some people acclimatize to hydrogen sulfide in their water, you may wish to have it removed to ensure your next glass is as pure and enjoyable as possible.

Bacteria

Most municipal sources eliminate the more harmful pathogens and bacteria. However, occasionally public treatment systems fail. Having an additional purifying system in your home can serve as an extra layer of protection against illness and disease.

Chemical Injection Systems

To eliminate these impurities, consider implementing the following systems for your personal water supply. These methods can often remove most contaminants that would otherwise put your health at risk.

Chlorine Injection

Chlorine Injection SystemsThis system dispels iron, bacteria, and hydrogen sulfide. To do this, a chemical feed pump injects chlorine into the incoming water on an on-demand basis. From there, the chlorine undergoes a chemical reaction (oxidation) with the iron, bacteria, and hydrogen sulfide in the water in a mixing tank. After the oxidation process has been completed, the impurities will be removed from the water and the residual chlorine will be absorbed by a metered backwashing carbon filter system.

Hydrogen Peroxide Injection

A hydrogen peroxide system uses many of the same principles as a chlorine injection system. An on-demand pump injects small amounts of the chemical into your water. Rather than using chlorine, this system uses hydrogen peroxide.

When hydrogen peroxide encounters high levels of hydrogen sulfide in the water, they react to create ferric hydroxide floc. After the oxidation process in the mixing tank, the residual hydrogen peroxide is absorbed by a metered centaur carbon filter, leaving you with clean water.

Maintenance for Injection Systems

All water filtration/purification system require some maintenance. Below are some simple steps to maintain a chemical injection system:

  • Keep tanks supplied with source water and the chosen chemical treatment
  • Flush chemical residue from the mixing tank monthly
  • Change the carbon filter when it becomes exhausted, usually between 2-3 years
  • Clean and maintain the pump injection point

If you cannot maintain the system yourself, many water treatment professionals can perform these tasks for you.

Consult a Professional

When you install and maintain these purification systems, you can enjoy clean, fresh water whenever you need it. Keep in mind that each purification system has its own unique benefits, so consult an expert about which one works best for your situation. Your current water source, water needs, and budget should all play a role in picking a system.

If you have further questions about how these systems work, or if these systems are right for your home, contact your local water conditioning company.
