Turbidity & Cloudy Well Water
What is turbidity?
Turbidity is a key measurement of water quality and is generally known as the cloudiness or haziness created by stirring up sediment or having particles suspended in water. Turbidity issues can sometimes be inconsistent and become more of a problem during wet seasons due to natural peat run off. Turbidity can be caused by many sources including particles and sediments, peat, algae and urban runoff.
What are the potential health effects from long-term exposure?
Higher turbidity levels are often associated with higher levels of disease-causing microorganisms such as viruses, parasites and some bacteria. These organisms can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.
What treatment methods have been effective for removal or reduction?
High quality Turbidity Treatment Systems are available for your private well water supply. We use high performance granular filter media that outperforms conventional multimedia due to its unique zeolite structure, higher sediment holding capacities and whilst servicing high flow rates and increased load capacities.
