Convenient and specialized water treatment chemicals for household use

1. What is household water treatment chemicals?

Household water treatment chemicals is a concept used to refer to various types of chemicals that are used to clean household water sources, tap water. Besides other water filtration methods using physical, mechanical, and microbial means, this method is capable of thoroughly cleaning water.

Household water treatment chemicals come in many different types. Each type is suitable for use with water sources with specific characteristics. In some cases, it may be necessary to combine different types of chemicals in the treatment process to achieve the most optimal results. Therefore, users need to understand the level of contamination in household water, the characteristics of the chemicals in order to make the appropriate choice.

2. Some common household water treatment chemicals

2.1 PAC Chemicals

PAC is one of the commonly used chemicals in water treatment today. This is a type of high molecular weight aluminum phenol. They can replace Sunfat aluminum in daily household water treatment.

PAC has a higher coagulation and settling ability than Sunfat aluminum. The coagulation time is fast. At the same time, it does not alter the pH concentration in water. Using this chemical can completely remove organic and insoluble substances in water. It can also treat heavy metal ions. As a result, it provides good quality water, meeting the needs of people in daily life.

PAC chemicals come in liquid and solid forms. With the solid powder form, users need to dissolve it into a solution before use. Water treated with PAC chemicals needs to be boiled before use for drinking purposes.

2.2 Chlorine and Copper Sulfate

Chlorine and Copper Sulfate are two common household wastewater treatment chemicals today. Chlorine is used primarily for disinfection and sterilization of water, while Copper Sulfate is used to kill algae in surface water.

Chlorine, whether in liquid or powder form, has strong oxidation and disinfection capabilities.

When chlorine is introduced into water, it disinfects by diffusing through the cell walls of bacteria. At that point, they react with the enzymes inside the cells. As a result, it disrupts the metabolic process of microorganisms, gradually destroying them.

Copper Sulfate controls algae, including large filamentous algae. If used to treat water on the surface with a high concentration, it will inhibit the growth of plants in the pond.

Using Chlorine and Copper Sulfate to treat household water needs to comply with safety regulations to avoid affecting the environment and the quality of water supplied to users.

2.3 Sodium Hydroxide Flake

Sodium Hydroxide Flake, also known as caustic soda, is a white chemical that exists in solid form and is very absorbent of gas.

The main task of Sodium Hydroxide Flake is to raise the pH of water and clean the water. Currently, this product is widely used in water treatment for household water.

How to use it: Dissolve Sodium Hydroxide Flake into a solution and sprinkle it evenly around water tanks and reservoirs. Use specialized water testing tools to check the pH of the water to ensure balance.

Note: Because this chemical generates strong heat when added to water, users should not come into direct contact with it. If this solution is spilled on the skin, it will cause severe corrosion and burns after a few minutes. If the caustic soda splashes into the eyes, it can cause blindness. Therefore, extreme caution is required when using it.

2.4 Aluminum Sulfate

Aluminum Sulfate, also known as alum, is a white crystalline chemical that is widely used in household water treatment today.

The main function of this chemical is to act as a coagulant, flocculant, and settling aid. Therefore, it collects suspended solids, debris in the water into large flocs for them to settle to the bottom. As a result, the sedimentation and clarification of water become easier.
