Well Water Pre-treatment

Well water is by far the most commonly used source of water for most civil and industrial applications where there is large availability of water in aquifers at low depth from the ground level. Well water is roughly defined by the following characteristics: The salinity is strictly dependant upon the chemical composition of the soil with which water is in contact. The Dissolved Solids content could be in the range 50 - 5,000 ppmSince there is no contact with air, well water is normally characterised by a low presence of micro-organisms, bacteria, algae, fungi. Turbidity and suspended solids are normally in the lowest range but concentration could rise if water is extracted just after the drilling of the well or in case the aquifer lowers due to excessive water suction.The presence of oils and organics in the well water is normally not likely to occur unless there is a possible source of contamination.
