Advantages And Disadvantages Of Water Treatment Of Swimming Pool

An ideal body of water should have a pH level in between 6.0 and 9.5 and the DO level should be around 4.8 mg/L. Our filter has proven to increase the pH level of the water from its original level, it wasn’t a significant difference, however with some modification we should be able to improve the filter process. For future modifications, the filter should contain more slag and marble chips as they are known to increase the pH level, we should also get access to more

Several species and organisms rely on water to survive. Some organisms use it as a source to drink and others uses water as their living environment. This experiment is to calculate many aspects of the water that surrounds Corpus Christi. Water is the key to life on Earth and thus why water is so important. According to the Lab Report water quality is the quality of water and if it is considered acceptable drinking water. Water quality consist of its chemical, physical and biological characteristics. These properties can be studied through pH testing, nitrogen testing, Phosphorous testing and many other useful ways. Water quality is important because it allows scientist to identify if the water is in a good condition to drink or sustain life overall and it dramatically effects how healthy it is. The objective of this lab was to experiment if the water quality around the Corpus Christi is a reliable source of water for organisms and to reach an understanding of the water quality of the water surrounding Corpus Christi.

Team 2 has considered a variety of factors including *cultural and technological appropriateness, geography, local economics, material availability and safety. Six draft designs were generated, each adhering to the brief and a potential for a successful water filtration device. The designs were judged and eliminated on certain criteria; for example, Plan 3 consisted of a device which could be flipped, the caught debris acting as another filtration layer. Although Plan 3 was cost effective and time

In the North Queensland Resource Planning and Development, the consumption of high quality drinking water has become a major issue. Due to the limited supply of fresh water in other states and South East Queensland, a major re-education of the public on water usage has occurred. The demand for water has increased within the Cairns region, so to provide the extra water needed for the Far North community, the government is considering tapping into the Mulgrave Aquifer. On further investigation, it was seen that this process would be quite expensive to go ahead with. A more viable option would be to source the water directly from the Mulgrave River. The purpose of this report is to analyse and discuss the water quality of four locations along the Mulgrave River.

This report is based upon the collected data from scientific tests and different data collection experiments, these diverse range of observations helped in determining the health of the river and catchment as a whole. The experiments tested a range of variables, some including; the levels of nitrates, phosphates, temperature of water, pH levels, turbidity of water and dissolved solids. The collection of water and recordings of microorganisms was examined and also recorded. As well as these scientific tests, simple recordings were also taken of the surrounding area and the amounts of rubbish and infrastructure that could be seen. The tests conducted in the river system occurred on the 24th of May 2016, to conduct the tests the trail along the river was walked, furthering the knowledge of the health of the river and how the the catchment area as a whole was fairing. However, some differences to the data could be assumed as when tested it was not always done by the same person, this could have then limited the accuracy. Another

In this experiment water quality and contamination of groundwater were investigated. First, I will observe the effects that many pollutants have on groundwater. I predict that in this experiment the oil and vinegar will create the largest quality of contamination to the water, while the laundry detergent will just create a bad smell to it. Considering the smells and thickness to these ingredients I think that it will cause the water quality to have a bad smell and cause the water to be very cloudy. Once filtering the contaminated water, the water will be clear and purified. Second, I

I chose this project because I am a competitive swimmer and I have been swimming for the past ten and a half years. I wanted to find out how much chlorine remains in a pool each day after chlorination. I am interested to see how much residual chlorine is left and the range in which there appears skin irritation and red eyes because I have experienced the red eyes and itchy skin due to over chlorination.

In conclusion, the chemistry which occurs in a pool is a set of complex reactions which all react with each other to form chemical equilibrium; however, as seen by the Belmont Villas Complex Pool, just because the system is at equilibrium, it does not mean that the system is balanced and healthy. Whilst the Belmont Villas pool was at equilibrium, its levels for pH, alkalinity, free chlorine, combined chlorine, total chlorine, hardness and cyanuric acid were far below acceptable levels, and so many measures (as discussed above) must be undertaken in order to improve its health and make it safe and comfortable to swim in. However, this reaction is also linked to the pH of the system; as OH- is a product of this reaction, this could affect the

It is very important for that water quality is monitored in water supplies and natural aquatic systems

The aim of this research project is to investigate the water quality in the Barcombe Mills tributary. By collecting samples along the stream, becomes an attempt to be illustrated the qualitative state of water, centring on faecal contamination. It is attempted to assess the risk of water-related illnesses from faecal contamination to persons coming in contact with the river. It will also be a review of the causes of poor water quality in Barcombe Mills tributary, in order to be applied techniques to mitigate them. It is hypothesized that Barcombe Mills tributary is not safe for individuals to use it for recreation and they were at risk of water-related illness from faecal contamination.

Water is one very essential resource for human existence. It accounts for about two thirds of the earth surface with a volume of about 1.4 billion cubic centimeter. About 97 percent of the total earth’s water is salt water from the ocean with only a minute percentage existing as freshwater accessible for direct human consumption. Freshwater is found in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and underground sources some of which are shallow enough to be tapped at an affordable cost. The lack of portable drinking water needs not be overemphasized as more than 1.2 billion people in the world lack access to clean drinking water. Globally, there seems to be an increase in economic water scarcity in addition to the already existing physical water scarcity. The situation may get worse as the needs for water increases due to city development and population growth. The arid regions are the most affected with cases of droughts which may occur as a result of consistent lack of rainfall. One country that is grossly affected by lack of rainfall is Sudan with problems of available drinking water for its populace. The report will analyze the problem of fresh water supply to the Sudan and proffer two feasible solutions.

The last type of test we conducted were the water quality chemical tests. First, the level of nitrates, which can cause can cause birth defects and methemoglobinemia has remained unchanged from last year, at 5 ppm. In addition, we tested the amount of total solids, giving a result of 208 mg/l, which gives it a score of 2.14. The most important statistic, the Water Quality Index, gives a total score of 2.54 this year, compared with a 2.47 last year. The Water Quality Index score of 2.54 is between “fair” and “good”, with a slight change over the past year—much like the claim earlier. The results of the nitrate test line up perfectly with the claim, with no change, and the amount of nitrates, at 5 ppm, is

If the dissolved minerals exceed 1,000 mg/L (milligrams per liter) water is not considered desirable for drinking. Water is classed as slightly saline if it contains few thousand mg/L of dissolved minerals, but it is used in places that don’t have good quality water. Some wells and springs contain water with very high concentrations of dissolved minerals that cannot be tolerated by humans and other animals or plants. Uses of groundwater in some parts of the country is limited because they are underlain at depth because of the highly saline ground (Ochieng et al., 2012).

Surface waters necessitate water treatment before consumption to eliminate the risk present to the consumer. Poor quality water which consists of suspended and dissolved particles pose health risks. The most harmful contamination is the microbiological contamination which leads to infectious diseases (Water treatment, 1994).Since the early 1800’s water purification systems have been used to eliminate the health risk posed by the recycled water. During the final process of treatment alternate disinfectants are used, however UV radiation and chlorination are predominantly employed techniques. UV radiation emitted by the sun was discovered to have germicidal effects on pathogens and micro-organisms present water. From this discovery came the introduction of UV radiation lamps, which emit similar UV rays to the sun to disinfect the water. Chlorination systems had come into use a few years later during the 1900’s as scientists had discovered the disinfection properties of chlorine. Both methods have benefits and weaknesses, however chlorination is more suitable due to its low cost of production and decreased risk of bacterial products in metropolitan areas.

Nile River is the major source of water and soils in Egypt. Silt is the main soil component of it. The Nile is one of the international rivers; it passes through ten countries in Africa, and divided into two branches; Rosetta and Damietta at the end. Hydro-geochemical study of Rosetta branch was done. The geochemical processes which control the water quality and its suitability for drinking, fishing and irrigation purposes was evaluated. Thus the hydro-environmental status is studied. Fifteen water samples were collected for determining the physical and chemical parameters. The results show that several parameters are above the desired limits. High concentrations of total dissolved solid (TDS), Electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, ammonia (NH3), (EC), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chloride (Cl-), Sulfate (SO42-) were found. While a reduction in dissolved oxygen (DO) in the drains especially Tala and El Rahawy drains were noticed. In addition, residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC), Sodium percent (Na %), Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and Magnesium hazard (MH) were measured. The results show that the salinity values for the selected samples minimized their utilization for irrigation. The results indicate that the main geochemical process in the study area is cation exchange and evaporation which control the main ion distribution.
