COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DRINKING WATER FILTERS

Abstract

The challenges of ensuring the quality of drinking water in water management companies depend on which chemical elements need to be removed from groundwater, which water treatment facilities to choose in order to work efficiently and ensure the safety and quality of drinking water. In order to choose effective water purification filters, it is necessary not only to know the composition of the chemical elements of the groundwater, but also to constantly monitor the change in their quantities. This article presents the results of water tests of open type and pressure filters operated by UAB "Tauragės vandenys" for the removal of ammonium, manganese and common iron. Filtered water test results are compared. The summarized results show that pressure filters are effective water treatment devices for removing ammonium, manganese and common iron.
