Water Systems
The Electrical Supply
The supply of electricity in Guyana is very confusing, in Georgetown for example we have 110V and 220V, 50 cycles, the coastal area consists of 110V, 60 cycles in some areas and 240V, 60 cycles. The Essequibo coast is supplied with 240V 50 cycles. In all areas 3 phase is also available.
Residential Solutions
Drinking water or potable water is water safe enough to be consumed by humans or used with low risk of immediate or long term harm. In most developed countries, the water supplied to households, commerce and industry meets drinking water standards, even though only a very small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation. Typical uses (for other than potable purposes) include toilet flushing, washing and landscape irrigation.
Industrial Solutions
Iron, even in small quantities, can be one of the most troublesome elements found in water. As little as 0.3 ppm (parts per million) of iron can cause staining of fixtures, sinks, flooring, and also most anything else it comes into contact with. Iron affects the tastes of foods and beverages, can contribute to the block-age of pipes, and can cause many other unwanted problems. Since it has so many undesirable properties, iron removal is an important phase of water treatment.
