Improve your water quality and help protect your water purification equipment with Water Pre-Treatment Combos from The Water Company. Our range of FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic) filtration systems is designed to address specific water quality challenges before water enters reverse osmosis (RO) plants, UV sterilisation systems and other downstream equipment.
These systems combine an FRP pressure vessel, a suitable filtration or treatment medium, and a control valve. Depending on the selected model, the valve may provide manual operation or automatic backwashing and regeneration.
Our range of pre-treatment systems:
1. Activated carbon filter systems:
Help reduce chlorine, certain organic compounds, unpleasant tastes and odours. Carbon filtration is commonly used as pre-treatment for reverse osmosis systems and other water purification equipment.
2. Glass filter media systems:
Designed to capture suspended particles and reduce turbidity when correctly selected and operated. These systems can be used as part of a suitable filtration process for borehole, municipal and other water supplies.
3. DMI-65 iron removal systems:
Designed for iron and manganese removal under suitable operating conditions. Correct system selection depends on raw water chemistry, pH, oxidation requirements and the concentration of the contaminants.
4. Katalox iron removal systems:
Use specialised filter media to help remove iron and manganese and, under suitable conditions, other oxidisable contaminants. Water analysis is recommended to determine the correct treatment configuration.
5. Calcite pH correction systems:
Use calcite media to raise the pH of acidic water and help reduce its corrosiveness. The required media quantity and contact time depend on the source water’s chemistry and the desired treated-water pH.
6. Water softener systems:
Use ion-exchange resin to reduce water hardness caused mainly by calcium and magnesium. Suitable softening systems can help limit scale formation in pipes, water heaters and downstream equipment.
Choose the correct pre-treatment combo:
The best system depends on your raw water quality, flow rate, operating pressure and treatment objectives. Different media address different problems, and no single filter removes every contaminant. A water analysis is the best starting point for selecting the correct combination of treatment stages.
Backwashing systems also require suitable drainage and sufficient water flow during the cleaning cycle. Automatic valves and softeners require the appropriate settings and maintenance for reliable operation.
