Hi all,

Good morning.

This is with regards to an issue we are facing at our proposed R-O water plant.We are using a one horse-power bore to pump water into our water tank which will be supplied to a RO-water plant ( reverse osmosis) to make the water potable.
Initially, the water coming out of the bore will be very clean but after a few minutes, there seems to be some mud coming out in the water.
So, we have stopped supplying this water to the RO-plant until the turbidity issue is resolved.

1) I request you to suggest how to overcome this problem.
2) Also, if I use alum to treat the mud in the water, will it going to effect the RO-plant filters? If so, what are the other alternatives?

Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,
Praveen

have you posted on the wrong forum or is this somehow related to GIS?
