Water Treatment and Testing
A water filtration system works by removing impurities, contaminants and particles of debris from your water. The filter acts as a sieve that collects the contaminants as the water flows through, and the filter prevents these things from remaining in the water after it has been filtered. Once the water is filtered, you are left with clean, clear potable water. However, it’s not as simple as adding a filter to your pipes and calling it a day. Water filtration is just one step in the process to purifying your water supply. At Novatron, we take many steps to ensure your water is filtered, purified and fit for any purpose. But before we start, we need to know several things.
Information Novatron Requires:
When enquiring about a water desalination machine:
- Is your water supply Brackish Water or Sea Water?
- If your enquiry is regarding Brackish Water do you have a Water Analysis? (We do not require an Analysis if your enquiry is regarding Sea Water.)
- How much Water can the Bore or source of supply deliver per hour?
- What is your daily water usage requirement?
- Information regarding your power supply, e.g single or three phase etc.
