An organic polyelectrolyte used to gather (coagulate) suspended particles in the water.
A chemical compound used in water clarifiers. It causes fine particles to stick together to be more easily removed by the filter.
a chemical added to water which attracts dirt and impurities into a clump. Once the suspended solid particles and dirt are chemically "stuck together," they can be removed from the water. Click to see a detailed diagram of one of our treatment plants where we use utilize coagulants.
a substance added in water treatment to cause coagulation of particles.
A polymeric chemical compound added to water to gather suspended particles together for filtration.
a substance which when added to a colloidal dispersion destabilizes the dispersion by neutralizing the charges on the particles, usually negative, causing the colloidal particles to collide and agglomerate into larger particles
A chemical added to initially destabilize, aggregate, and bind together colloids and emulsions to improve settleability, filterability, or drainability.
Gathers tiny particles together to make filtering them out much easier.
A chemical which causes tiny particles to stick together in bigger lumps.
Organic electrolytes used to coagulate suspended particles in water.
An agent that promotes the separation from a liquid of a gel mass, often a "flock", which brings together tiny solid particles into larger clumps in the liquid.
Chemical added to water to cause formation of flocs that adsorb, entrap or otherwise bring together suspended matter defined as colloidal. Used to remove turbidity, bacteria, color and other finely divided matter from water.
Chemical used to coagulate · clump together · very fine particles into larger particles. Soluble salts of aluminium and ferric iron are the most commonly used coagulants in water treatment.
The properties of a chemical used in the assemblage and precipitation of suspended material which may make the pool appear cloudy.
SpaGuard® Polysheen, when added to the water, gathers particles together for filtration.
Precipitates impurities in water.
An organic polyelectrolyte that helps the filter by clumping minute particles together so they can be trapped by the filter.
A material, such as alum, which will form a gelatinous precipitate in water and cause the agglomeration of finely divided particles into larger particles which can then be removed by settling and/or filtration.
