Water Quality Problems and Treatment Techniques

Hello,

Welcome to this course on water quality problems and treatment techniques!  This course will give you a good overview of water quality problems within the system and go into depth on hardness, corrosion, iron and manganese, tastes and odors, and nitrification.   I think you are really going to enjoy it.  I tried to create a course which really covers these issues in a way that makes sense.  I also tried to include clear explanations for the things that I personally had hang ups on when I was first learning this, as well as many commonly asked questions by other operators.  This course will mostly consist of click to play audio files which will have corresponding notes associated with them.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed putting it together.  Let’s go ahead and get started.
