Interview with a specialist in the treatment of drinking and tap water

I interviewed my brother-in-law Juan Francisco Campusano. He´s a specialist in the treatment of drinking and tap water. He has 8 years of experiences. He offers his services to hotels, pharmaceutical laboratories, and laboratories of beauty products, beverage factories, and water processor companies.

I asked him about the water purification process and he explained to me that in the water purification process there are several steps:

1-    Eliminate bacterial pollutants by means of injection of chlorine to the water in the place of storage.

2-    Eliminate solid elements that are floating in the water (muddiness) through a filter of zeolita (it´s like sand) which has the capacity to eliminate even 10 microns.

3-    Eliminate chlorine, its odor and taste through an activated carbon filter.

4-    Eliminate calcium and magnesium of the water (hardness). Hardness is the one who causes calculus in the pipes.

5-    Eliminate minerals about 99.9% through an inverse osmosis system.

6-    Store and recirculate ozone to guarantee the conservation and preservation of water.

7-    Pump water towards different points or directions.

8-    Provide taste to the water through a taste filter that is compound by a carbon made of quicara of coconut or the coconut shell.

9-    Sterilize water through an ultraviolet light bulb.

10-                      Fill and stamp the big bottles.

In the first step the elimination of bacterial pollutants, water should last at least 6 hours in contact with chlorine to guarantee water free of impurities.

In the 2^nd, 3rd and 4^th step, the time will depend on the quantity of water that requires treatment.

The rules cover since 800 GPD (gallons per day) until 300,000 GPD, 600,000 GPD that is to say everything in 24 hours.
