The first phase is the primary phase. This phase removes some of the suspended solid particles and inorganic metals by the filters removing them. The secondary phase of te treatment involves the reducment of organic, this is done with the use of biological filters and processes that naturally degrades the organic waste mater. The tertiary phase is where most of the solid particles are extracted from the water and chemical additives are supplied to get rid of any left over impurities. Do's and don'ts Do turn water off when not in use. This cuts down on water shortages Don't throw garbage down the toilet, such as toiletries. Don't over use pesticides and fertilizers.

 About the Blogger Acidic and basic are two extremes thatdescribe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out their extreme effects; much like mixing hot and cold water can even out the water temperature. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral. The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. It ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH greater than 7 is basic. Each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value. For example, a pH of 4 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 5 and 100 times (10 times 10) more acidic than a pH of 6. The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline—another way to say basic—than the next lower whole value. For example, a pH of 10 is ten times more alkaline than a pH of 9. |
