Rainwater treatment

Šskin šliquid is suitable for drinking. The composition of the water is characterized by the minimum amount of salts, and it does not harm the body. Why is its use restricted? When a droplet flies to the ground, it attracts various chemical components in the air. The main danger is nitrogen and sulfur oxides, they form acid rain. The level of rainwater pollution is influenced by the general ecological situation of the territory.

Rainwater is suitable for agricultural needs, watering, washing clothes, washing dishes, showering, but you can drink it only after special treatment.                                                                           

Rainwater is not intended for drinking for the following reasons:

    1. A large number of bacteria (staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci)

    2. The presence of eggs, worms, parasites, lice due to bird and animal feces

    3. High content of dust and dirt

    4. The presence of chemical compounds that get into rainwater after evaporation from polluted            objects (exhaust gas from automobiles, evaporation from factories, oil and gas products)

Before processing rainwater, it must be cleaned of mechanical impurities (tree leaves, dirt, branches, moss and other large impurities). The cheapest and most convenient option are mechanical filters that separate dirt with the help of bags (nets). However, you will need to clean them constantly. You can spend much more on a state-of-the-art water filtration system. This will allow you to do without manual cleaning for several years by continuously collecting and using rainwater. It is still not recommended to use this water for drinking.

To ensure that rainwater is safe for use, it is necessary to conduct rainwater analyzes under laboratory conditions. This will reduce the risk that the water contains substances dangerous to health.

After rainwater has been purified from all possible mechanical contamination, it must be purified from microbiological contamination. Water disinfection is used for this purpose. Disinfection ensures that the rainwater will be safe and bacteriologically clean. The most popular solution to this problem is an ultraviolet (UV) lamp, which helps to break down the RNA of microorganisms and DNA and they are no longer able to reproduce.

When choosing the most suitable water purification system for your rainwater system, we recommend that you perform water testing so that our specialists evaluate and provide the best solution for purifying your drinking water.
