The impurities in water define the treatment options that will produce water quality that meets your needs. Since water dissolves most things it comes in contact with, a water impurity is any chemical, physical or biological component that is present in a concentration to high to be tolerated. Water treatment equipment is chosen based on removing contaminants down to tolerable levels. The concentration levels in the product water set the amount to be removed, plus the volume of water produced define the actual system specifications.

Most Water Impurities can be grouped into one of the classes in the Water Impurity box above.
