Arsenic is a dangerous element that can be found in water supplies. If you are unlucky enough to have high levels of arsenic in your water, don't worry! There are treatments available to remove the arsenic and make your water safe to drink again. In this blog post, we will discuss the different methods for removing arsenic from water and how to choose the right treatment for your needs.

There are two main methods for removing arsenic from water: adsorption and oxidation. Adsorption is the process of using a material to remove arsenic from water as it passes through. The most common adsorbents are activated alumina and iron oxide. Oxidation is the process of using chemicals to change the form of the arsenic, making it easier to remove from the water. The most common chemical used for arsenic oxidation is chlorine.

So, which treatment should you choose?

If you have a private well, it is important to test your water regularly for arsenic. If arsenic levels are below 50 ppb, no treatment is necessary. However, if arsenic levels are above 50 ppb, you will need to choose a treatment method. If you are on a public water supply, the EPA has set the arsenic limit at 0.010 ppm. This means that your water supplier is responsible for ensuring that arsenic levels in your water stay below this level.
