Dam & River
Water Treatment

Cloudy or coloured dam and river water needs more than ordinary filtration. Aquarius designs treatment systems to remove fine suspended particles and prepare your water for its intended use. It is a cost-effective way to turn dam, creek or channel water into a reliable water source.

01

Test the water

We test your water to select the right treatment.

02

Dose and settle

Controlled dosing brings fine particles together so they settle to the bottom of a treatment tank.

03

Filter and disinfect

The clearer water then passes to the next stage for filtration and disinfection as required.

The treatment system

Settling tanks and floating pickups

Our systems combine dosing equipment, settling tanks and a floating water pickup.

The pickup draws clearer water from below the surface, above the settled sediment. Sludge is removed periodically to keep the system working effectively.

Dosing brings particles together. Two settling stages separate sediment from the water; floating pickups draw from the clearer upper layer before pumping and filtration. Bottom drains allow sludge removal. Click to enlarge.

Designed for
your property

We size the system to suit your water quality and daily requirements, and provide commissioning, operating instructions and maintenance guidance.

Treatment requirements depend on how the water will be used.
