Question

How to reduce high electrical conductivity in water?

Answer 1

Answer:

Conductivity is the result of the presence of mineral salts of elements like sodium, calcium and magnesium. These salts when dissolved in water, produce free ions that are capable of passing electrical current in water. High conductivity is related to high TDS (total dissolved solids) concentration in water, amount of dissolved mineral salts in water. Conductivity meters that measure conductivity also aim to measure the TDS of the sample for producing the result. For reducing the TDS of water on a domestic or an industrial level, you must seek help from an expert.

Check the conductivity of the untreated water with a conductivity meter. The value should lie in the range of 0.005 - 0.05 S/m for drinking water.
