4 Signs Make You Upgrade Your Water Treatment Plant

Upgrade your Water Treatment is not just about maintaining quality and production rates and keeping up with the latest developments and technologies. Sometimes it becomes necessary to ensure the continuity of the plant. Especially if there is a need to increase the amount of water produced. Or even if the properties of the source water change for any reason. Therefore, you should be careful and pay attention to the following signs because the plant needs to be upgraded.

Water Purification

Is your current water treatment system not performing well or producing the results you want? How good is the feed water, strange behavior from the machines, or a slow production rate? Have any processes suffered from substandard elements when it comes to quality control? If so, your current equipment may not be up to the task you set for it.

Water filtration systems will age, break, or become overwhelmed with the volume and type of water that needs to be cleaned. You may want to consider upgrading or renovating the plant. Water Care can provide you with a free water filtration consultation, for whatever you plan to install or improve. In the meantime, here are four common signs that your water treatment plant is not performing well to look for.

Overload

Is your system shutting down, pumping slowly, or producing cloudy or discolored output water? If so, your equipment may be consuming more water than it can handle. This can happen with both wastewater and feedwater treatment. Overloading may be noticed if new tanks or machines running on a filtration source are added to an existing system without additional filtration capacity installed. It may also be a sign that the system needs maintenance, a part replacement, or a filter change, as a dirty or contaminated system reduces flow.

Try lowering the input rate, reducing the water pressure, or installing more treatment equipment. A good preventative maintenance schedule, including a specific filter change schedule for your reverse osmosis machines, can help you avoid clogs and overload.

Strange Odors

Is your treated wastewater or sewage smelling like sulfur or chemical waste? This could be a sign that your system is clogged internally or that the equipment is not treating the water properly. Contaminated wastewater that gets stuck or stuck can become stagnant, increasing the risk of bacterial infection. This could also be a sign that something is leaking into your pipes that shouldn’t be. If the water reaching the end of the filtration process is cloudy or still full of particles. You should definitely consider having your machines serviced or replaced.

Electrical Failures

If your pump fails to start, you may have a separate electrical fault causing problems. Check your breakers and fuses to make sure your electrical system isn’t overloaded or broken. Overheating can also trip safety mechanisms designed to prevent machines from starting. Is your facility well-ventilated and cooled?

Alarms

Most modern filtration systems come with digital displays and sensors to let you know when something is wrong. If an alarm goes off, make a careful note of where and what the system is trying to signal as a fault.

At CareWater, we’ll be able to analyze this data and tell you exactly what your system needs to do to sort itself out. To learn more about our planned preventive maintenance and repair services, please contact us!
