water treatment system
Filtration and sanitation
A water treatment system is equipment that removes contaminants, impurities, or undesirable substances from water to make it suitable for a specific purpose—drinking, industrial use, or safe discharge into the environment.
Systems range from household filters to municipal plants processing millions of gallons daily.
Treatment may involve filtration, chemical disinfection, reverse osmosis, or biological processes depending on the water source and intended use.
