Sediment Filtration
Rainwater usually carries silt, clay, soil, and grains of sand into the well groundwater supply. The sediment filter is the first line of defense against all the particulate matter in your water that are not liquid. Sediment filters work through a process called mechanical filtration. Mechanical filtration physically blocks unwanted particulate matter from infiltrating the water supply.
Carbon Filtration
- Carbon filtering works by adsorption, in which pollutants in the fluid to be treated are trapped inside the pore structure of a carbon substrate. A filter with granular activated carbon (GAC) is a proven option to remove certain chemicals, particularly organic chemicals, from water such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, trihalomethanes, mercury, pesticides, heavy metals, lear or bacteria.
Ultraviolet Filtration
A UV water purifier treats micro-biologically unsafe water with germicidal ultraviolet light. The UV wavelength scrambles the DNA of living organisms in the water, so they can no longer reproduce. If pigs drink bacteria-infested water, the organisms can embed in their digestive tract and replicate. Ultraviolet radiation renders bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi unable to replicate by damaging the nucleic acids of their DNA.
Pigs require water for a variety of reasons, including most metabolic functions, adjustment of body temperature, movement of nutrients into the body tissues, removal of metabolic waste, production of milk, and for growth and reproduction.
