Chemical Treatment
Numerous chemicals are used in water treatment. They include chlorine (bleach), hydrogen peroxide, coagulants and polyphosphates. Chlorine is used for disinfection as well as oxidation of iron, manganese, odors and colors. Hydrogen peroxide is best used for oxidation. Coagulants make particles such as fine sediment and color large enough that they can settle or be filtered out. Polyphosphates coat pipes and plumbing fixtures to protect against corrosion. Knowledgeable persons should always design systems.

Distillation
Distilling is probably one of the best know methods for purifying water. Steam from boiled water is condensed into a storage reservoir. Better distillers will vent off many organic chemicals and include carbon filtration. Consistent water quality is the main advantage. Disadvantages include limited water production, high energy costs and frequent maintenance.
Filtration
Filtration is the most common method used in water treatment. System design is crucial to their success. Devices run the range of small cartridge filters for single taps, to larger cartridges for whole-house, to full-line equipment with controls to backwash.
Activated Carbon is used to adsorb tastes, odors, and color. It also removes chlorine and many organic chemicals. The carbon has a limited life and must be replaced periodically, depending on the application.
Sediment filters remove particles and depending range in size from 1 micron (1 millionth of a meter). Many sediment filters have been designed to remove cysts like Giardia (Beaver Fever) and Cryptosporidium. Cartridge filters are normally replaced when they plug. Backwashing filter beds have a long service life.
Oxidizing filters can be an effective method for removing iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide. Some of these filters use chemicals to recharge. Others use self-sacrificing media that must be replaced regularly. Most commonly used now are filters that use air in conjunction with the filter media. These media beds are long-life.
Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis units are considered by many to be the best all-around solution to all serious contamination problems for drinking water. They work by forcing water under pressure through special membrane-type filters. These units substantially reduce a wide variety of substances including, sodium, calcium, chloride, fluoride, nitrates and organic chemicals. Proper maintenance including replacing filters and periodic sanitization is critical to performance.
Water Softener
Water softeners use ion exchange to replace hardness minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and manganese with sodium. They are intended to improve the quality of working water (bathing, laundry, dishes, etc.). Properly designed and applied, they will work efficiently for many trouble-free years.
Salt is normally used to regularly recharge the systems, but many are now using potassium chloride, as it is better for the environment.
