Start With the Water Problem, Not the Product

Water problems rarely have only one cause. Appearance, odour, staining, algae, scale, low dissolved oxygen and poor animal or process performance are symptoms that require further investigation.
Puroxi begins by understanding the water source, intended use, test results, system conditions and required outcome before recommending treatment.

Common Water Problem Categories

Algae and Cyanobacteria

Green water, surface scum, recurring blooms and biological growth may be influenced by nutrients, sunlight, temperature, circulation and water-body conditions.

Explore Algae Problems

Low Dissolved Oxygen

Fish stress, odour, poor biological treatment and declining water quality may be connected to warm water, organic loading, stratification or inadequate oxygen transfer and circulation.

Explore Oxygen Problems

Odour Sludge and Organic Buildup

Rotten-egg odours, septic conditions, accumulated sludge and decaying organic material may indicate anaerobic zones or excessive biological demand.

Explore Odour and Sludge Problems

Scale Minerals and Metals

Scale, blocked pipes, staining, deposits and reduced heat-transfer performance may involve hardness, iron, manganese, alkalinity, temperature or other water conditions.

Explore Scale and Mineral Problems

Biofilm and Bacteria

Slime, plugged lines, bacterial test failures and difficult-to-clean systems may involve microbial growth, contamination, nutrients, low flow or poor system hygiene.

Explore Biological Problems

Livestock Poultry and Aquaculture

Poor water consumption, animal performance, fish stress, mortality and excessive water waste may involve water quality, temperature, flow, pathogens, minerals or other health and operating conditions.

How Puroxi Approaches a Water Problem

  • Understand the source and intended use
  • Identify the symptoms and possible causes
  • Review representative water testing
  • Confirm water volume, flow, pressure and existing equipment
  • Design the appropriate treatment pathway
  • Monitor and verify the results

One technology does not solve every water problem. Depending on the application, an effective solution may involve testing, source correction, filtration, circulation, oxygenation, oxidation, ultrasonic treatment, scale management or a carefully designed combination of independent technologies.

Information to Prepare

Before contacting Puroxi, please gather as much of the following information as possible:

  • Water source and intended use

  • Description and history of the problem
  • Photographs or videos
  • Water volume and dimensions
  • Daily flow and peak demand
  • Existing pumps, piping and treatment equipment
  • Available electrical service
  • Desired outcome
  • Relevant health, animal, process or regulatory requirements
