The unit consists of two stages of filtration, a coarse screen and a fine screen.

Dirty water enters the inlet, passes through the coarse screen outside-in, and enters the inside of the fine screen. The water then passes through the fine screen from the inside out and exits the outlet.

Unwanted solids accumulate on the inner surface of the fine screen, making it harder for water to pass through the fine screen and creating a pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet. Once the pressure differential reaches a preset level, the factory-supplied control system activates a rinse cycle by opening the rinse valve and starting the motor.

When the rinse valve opens to atmosphere, pressure drops in the rinse chamber. The dirt collector is hollow and connects the rinse chamber and the fine screen chamber, so pressure drops inside the dirt collector and its nozzles as well. The pressure drop causes the nozzles to work like vacuum cleaners, sucking in nearby particles. The nozzles are self-adjusting, allowing the nozzle openings to touch the surface of the fine screen. The water rushes into the nozzles at over 50 feet/second, carrying with it any material stuck on the fine screen. The intense energy can suck off even the stickiest particles.

Meanwhile, the dirt collector is slowly rotating and moving linearly. The drive shaft rotates the dirt collector, while the linear motion shaft moves it linearly. Both are controlled by the motor, on the back of the filter. Together, they ensure that the dirt collector nozzles pass over each part of the screen at least twice during the 45-second rinse cycle.

Working out the dilution rate for concentrated commercial cleaning chemicals can be difficult. correctly and accurately diluting cleaning chemicals with water is a skill that must be mastered.

Let's jump right in...

OK, so the label says 32:1 but how much water and how much cleaning chemical concentrate do you put in the bottle, bucket or cleaning machine tank?

a. Total amount of 'Ready to Use' or RTU cleaning chemical solution required is...
6 litres or 6000ml

b. Recommended dilution rate is...
1:32 or 32:1. That’s 33 parts… 1 part of chemical and 32 parts of water. It’s important that you always add the 2 dilution ratio numbers together for the calculation below!

c. Ready for some magical cleaning chemical dilution maths?
Divide the total amount of solution required (1. 6L or 6000ml) by... the total number of dilution ratio parts (33) and that will equal how much cleaning chemical you need in your bucket.

d. The maths looks like this....
6L or 6000ml / (divided by) 33 parts = (equals) 0.182L or 182ml of cleaning chemical concentrate.

Here are the 3 important numbers you need before you start…

1. Final chlorine solution volume = 100 litres = 100,000ml (because 1 litre = 1000ml)

2. Final chlorine solution concentration desired = 200ppm

3. Initial chlorine solution concentration = 12.5% solution = 125,000/1,000,000 which can also be expressed as 125,000 parts per million (ppm) because 1ppm = 1ml in 1,000,000ml ///

1% = 10,000 ppm (10,000 / 1,000,000)

The calculator below can be used to determine the temperature delta or rise for a given cooling water application (heat load or power dissipated and cooling water flow rate) using the first formula above.

The SOURCE® Hydropanel is a technology that incorporates multiple patented inventions alongside proprietary trade secrets, making it a one-of-a-kind renewable water technology that uses the power of the sun to extract clean, pollutant-free drinking water from the air. Collected water is then mineralized for ideal composition and taste, making premium-quality drinking water a readily available resource.

1. Solar energy powers the panel completely off-grid

2. Fans draw in ambient air and push it through a hygroscopic, or water-absorbing material, that traps water vapor from the air

3. The water vapor is extracted and passively condenses into liquid that is collected in the reservoir

4. Minerals are added to make perfect drinking water

Almost every afternoon in the Dworzak neighborhood of Freetown, Sierra Leone, Yebu Bare hikes up a steep hillside to fill a 5-gallon bucket with water that spills from a crack in a giant cement cistern. The spindly 12-year-old carefully puts the bucket on her head, then treks down the winding dirt path home.

Her mother, Isate Bare, says their family needs five buckets of this water a day for bathing, washing dishes and cleaning. Isate, Yebu and her siblings take turns hauling it.

London-based Solar Water PLC recently signed an agreement with the Saudi Arabian government as part of the country's clean future $500 billion "NEOM" project. The company is building the "first desalination plant with solar dome technology", a CNN Arabia report (translated on Solar Water PLC's website) explains. //

The plant is essentially "a steel pot buried underground, covered with a dome," making it look like a ball, Solar Water CEO David Reavley told CNN Arabia. The glass dome, a form of concentrated solar power (CSP) technology, is surrounded by "heliostat" reflectors that focus solar radiation towards inwards. Heat is transferred to seawater within the dome, which evaporates and then condenses to form freshwater. The solar dome plant does not utilize polluting fibers that are typically used in reverse osmosis desalination technologies, and Reavley claims that it is cheap and fast to build at the same time as being carbon neutral.

The first form calculates the pressure or friction loss along a given length of pipeline with a specified inside diameter. The second form calculates the minimum pipe size to limit pressure loss to a specified value.

Additional friction pressure losses occur due to fittings. These losses in-effect add extra additional length to the total pipeline. Use this calculator to estimate how much additional length needs to be added to the overall pipe length below in order to estimate these additional losses.

Conventional hydrogeologic framework models used to compute ocean island sustainable yields and aquifer storage neglect the complexity of the nearshore and offshore submarine environment. However, the onshore aquifer at the island of Hawai‘i exhibits a notable volumetric discrepancy between high-elevation freshwater recharge and coastal discharge. In this study, we present a novel transport mechanism of freshwater moving from onshore to offshore through a multilayer formation of water-saturated layered basalts with interbedded low-permeability layers of ash/soil. Marine electromagnetic imaging reveals ∼35 km of laterally continuous resistive layers that extend to at least 4 km from west of Hawai‘i’s coastline, containing about 3.5 km^3 of freshened water. We propose that this newly found transport mechanism of fresh groundwater may be the governing mechanism in other volcanic islands. In such a scenario, volcanic islands worldwide can use these renewable offshore reservoirs, considered more resilient to climate change-driven droughts, as new water resources.

Construction work has been completed on the raw water pipeline that will boost quality water supply to about 1M people in Monrovia, helping to address Liberias post-war perennial limited access to safe drinking water by close to 90% of the countrys population.

Owned by the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC), the US$18 million pipeline will draw water from the dam of the Mt. Coffee Hydropower Plant to the White Plains Water Treatment Plant in Rural Montserrado and then to Monrovia.

Water molecules can form hydrogen bonds in the RO membrane and fit into the membrane matrix. The water molecules that enter the membrane by hydrogen bonding can be pushed through under pressure. Most organic substances with a molecular weight over 100 are sieved out, i.e., oils, pyrogens and particulates including bacteria and viruses (13). //

It has been reported that bacteria can "grow" through membranes. The mechanism by which bacteria pass through a RO membrane is not known and no correlation exists between a dye leak test of the membrane and its bacterial retention efficiency. Researchers at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) conducted extensive investigations on the bacterial contamination of RO systems used in producing purified water for dialysis (15). They reported: 1. certain naturally occurring Gram- negative bacteria can multiply in relatively pure RO water; 2. thorough periodic disinfection of the entire RO system is essential in producing water with acceptable bacterial counts; 3. stagnant water in pipes down stream of the membrane is the major source of bacteria and endotoxin in the product water; and 4. the efficiency of a membrane in rejecting bacteria is better in continuous operation than in intermittent use.

Fluoride is more difficult to remove than most water contaminants

For practical purposes, there are three choices for removing fluoride from drinking water: distillation, reverse osmosis, and filtration through a special fluoride/arsenic reduction medium called activated alumina.

Below you'll find the products we sell that remove fluoride.

Reverse Osmosis

The best way to remove fluoride from drinking water is reverse osmosis. Any good reverse osmosis unit removes about 95% of fluoride by its nature. No special filters or setup is needed.

Enhanced Performance Fluoride Filter

“The World's Second Best Fluoride Remover.” Reduces fluoride by doubling the exposure to activated alumina (AAL) versus traditional fluoride systems.

This is the second best treatment for fluoride after reverse osmosis, and a great choice for fluoride removal without waste water, pH alteration or mineral removal.

A summary of "grains", a water filtration industry measurement. //

A “grain” is a water filtration industry measurement equal to about 17.1 parts per million, or 17.1 milligrams per liter.

A deionizing cartridge rated for 256 grains, therefore, will remove approximately 4530 “parts per million” of dissolved solids (minerals). In practical terms, if you plan to use this cartridge to treat tap water that has 350 parts per million total dissolved solids, the cartridge will treat only about 13 gallons of water. //

Similarly, water softener sizes are usually expressed in grains. A 26,000 grain softener is one that will treat 26,000 grains of hardness before it needs to regenerate itself. This means that if your water has 12 grains of hardness, the softener will need to regenerate after about 1260 gallons.
