Water Purifying

To ensure that freshwater taken from the marine water tank onboard can be drunk without hesitation, it must be clean and germ-free. The easiest way to remove unwanted substances from potable water is to simply sieve them out. For this reason, it is advisable on sailing and motorboats to integrate freshwater filters into the piping of the boat water system. Many of these micro filters contain a combination of an activated carbon unit and an ultra-hollow fibre membrane. By filtering out sediments, algae and bacteria, bad taste and turbidity are removed. …

… Chemical treatment with various disinfectants is another way of purifying the onboard water supply. At Toplicht you will find tank cleaners based on citric acid or active oxygen, water sterilisers with silver ions and water disinfectants with chlorine. These products help the water systems of boats or mobile homes to be permanently protected against contamination.
