Big Breakthrough In Waterworks Filtration

Public water systems have played an important role in the development of civilizations throughout history. Our nomadic ancestors were only able to settle in one location thanks to the development of water systems. Over thousands of years, humans have relied on aqueducts, pipes, and wells to bring fresh, clean water to their growing cities and villages.

Just last month in Jerusalem, archaeologists unearthed a 3,000 year old reservoir beneath the city. The newly found basin is one of the largest ever discovered in the ancient city, and could hold 250 cubic meters (66,000 gallons) of water. Historians say that the reservoir, near the Temple Mount, was used by the general public and pilgrims for everyday activities like bathing and drinking. The excavation was part of a project to map ancient Jerusalem’s drainage channel.

Filtration Emerges In Early Greece
While early communities mastered the technique of bringing water to the people, in later centuries keeping the water clean was a bigger challenge. As early as 4000 B.C., ancient Greeks were experimenting with filtration techniques using charcoal filters and strainers to reduce turbidity.  During the 1700s filtration was finally established as an effective means for removing particles from the water supply. Today filtration, along with proper chemical water treatment, is regarded as the best way to keep public water systems free of unwanted solids and disease-causing contaminants.

New NSF Certified Filtration Product Line Keeps Municipal Water Clean
Today’s modern filtration technology and water research continues to to improve water quality with each passing year. A new line of NSF-61 certified Public Waterworks Separators has been released by LAKOS Filtration, and these breakthrough products are groundbreaking in that they are the first municipal particle filtration systems to provide NSF certification for higher flow rates. The new separators can meet the demands for clean city water, removing sand, grit, and scale from pumped water systems, while remaining an economical solution.
