Introduction – Typical Installation Drawings :
Water treatment is a process through selective, applied & proven technology of removing contaminants from source water, be it borehole, river, dam water, or wastewater [also referred to as grey & black water] to make it safe and palatable for human consumption, or for commercial, specific non-drinking water applications, or a defined improved water quality for purpose.
A wide variety of technologies may be used, depending on the water source, contaminants present, standards to be met and your requirements.
Critical to determine the water contaminant levels and bacterial contamination, is the test phase and to “get it right” first time, we encourage the investment in a SANS241 accredited laboratory test & certification, of a full spectrum physical, aesthetic, operational, chemical & microbiological analysis.
This will reduce “trial & error” at the design stages of the required processes, to remove the problematic contaminants. Nimbus Water can, based on experience, forecast the water quality, levels of contamination & pollutants that are present and design, or suggest the WHO approved water treatment technology, based on a worst-case scenario.
WARNING – Keep in mind that no single water treatment devise treats all water related problems and that even the best devises have limitations.

COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL WATER BACK UP PROCESS
COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL WATER BACK UP PROCESS
A typical commercial municipal large volume water back up system and filtration process for a hospital, a totally automated process design specific for the application.
At any stage there is a water “outage”, the hospital needs to have sufficient water in reserve, for the hospital to continue functioning for min 2 days.
All municipal water is channelled through the process flow of tanks, automated tank levelling, automatic pressure pumps to maintain the high demand flow and pressure throughout the hospital.
Water filtration technology, including disinfection through Ultra Violet in place to ensure a high degree and quality of SANS241 approved potable water to all usage areas in the hospital. Contact Nimbus Water Technology for your specific water back up and water treatment requirements.

Big Blue triple filtration with Ultra Violet
Triple filtration with UV, ideal for basic treatment and filtration, of a municipal water back up system, treating rainwater collection for domestic use, or treatment of borehole water.
From source to tank/s – post tank and pump, through triple filtration, 1 or 2 x sediment filtration & 1 x carbon filtration, to 5um and final treatment, Ultra Violet – treating all the water going into the home, lodge, B&B, or commercial office building, on demand. Note for borehole, river or dam water treatment, require a laboratory SANS241/2015 water test certification. The TW3/BB20-UV system often positioned after a Water softening, Nitrate removal or Iron/Manganese removal. or ion exchange system, to final treat the water after the tank, to usage areas.

A typical layout and flow design for municipal water back up. Filtration after the tank is recommended to ensure even the municipal water from storage tank to home is again filtered and disinfected, kill bacteria loading. A site visit is required to view and inspect the current municipal connection and water reticulation lines.
IRON & MANGANESE FILTRATION PROCESS
IRON & MANGANESE FILTRATION PROCESS
Iron and manganese are common in ground water supplies. Excess iron and/or manganese levels usually results in the following:
- Dis-coloured water
- Red, brown or black stains on laundry, fixtures or other surfaces in contact with water.
- Metallic taste in beverages.
- Rust build-up in water heaters and cooling systems.
Whilst the water supplied by the ground water source is often clear and colour-less, it usually becomes dis-coloured once it comes into contact with air, causing iron and manganese to precipitate as rust.
There are several ways of removing iron and manganese from water supplies. The key to the removal process is oxidation of the iron and manganese ions, effectively converting them to rust particles and allowing them to be filtered out using a filtration process.
Uses are, an efficient and economical method of removing dissolved iron and manganese compounds from raw water supplies, by combining a manganese greensand and multimedia sand filter with a chemical-free oxidation column. This allows us to treat large volumes of water far quicker than any competitive iron removal system, making our equipment both smaller and more cost-effective. There are also no chemicals required for the operation of an approved iron removal filter system, further reducing costs and making the system suited for use in remote areas.
TYPICAL WATER SOFTENING PROCESS
TYPICAL WATER SOFTENING PROCESS
A water softener is an ion exchange system, or process. It is not a water filter.
Hard water—water with a high calcium/magnesium content—enters the softener through the “In” port. It passes through the control valve and into the main tank, where it goes from top to bottom through a bed of resin that “softens” it.
The resin consists of specially manufactured beads that have been saturated with sodium ions. “Softening” occurs as the hardness minerals, the calcium and magnesium ions, in the water attach themselves to the resin and are “exchanged” for sodium, which goes into the water in their place.
