WHAT ARE TANNINS?
• Referred to as ‘peaty’ water.
• Results in a discolouration of water, typically a shade of yellow / amber.
• Can cause a tangy or tart taste to the water.
• A result of organic matter decaying in the water.
• Typically more common in shallow wells or surface water sources.
• Unpleasant visually and can result in staining.
HOW CAN WE TREAT TANNINS?
• Treated by ion exchange resins.
• Specialist grade ion exchange resins will target and capture the tannins and residual organic matter.
• A combination of two different types of ion exchange resin in one cylinder.
• Self-cleaning units will perform a scheduled clean to ensure the media bed is fresh.
• Uses sodium chloride (NaCl) to regenerate the resin.
• Effective treatment technique however every site is unique.
