Aluminium in drinking water: An overview - SSWM

 · The use of alum as a coagulant for water treatment often leads to higher concentrations of aluminium in the treated water than in the raw water itself. Typically, a portion of the alum added to the raw water is not removed during treatment and remains as residual aluminium in the treated water. The occurrence of aluminium in treated water

Iron and Manganese in Private Water Systems

 · Iron and manganese can be effectively removed from water using a number of treatment processes depending on both the form and concentration of the metals. Since iron and manganese are aesthetic problems that affect all potential uses of the water, they must be removed from all water entering the home using Point-of-Entry (POE) treatment devices.
