There are 6 distinct Water Treatment Technologies (water purification technologies) that are widely used today to filter and purify water
- Filtration
- Corrosion Control
- Ion Exchange/Dimineralization
- Aeration
- Disinfection/Oxidation
- Organic/Inorganic Removal
We will define all of these Water Filtration Methods here and compare water purification methods.
