The challenge
A farmer experienced severe corrosion in his water storage tanks. Iron bacteria generate reddish-brown slime or biofilm causing unpleasant taste and odors, slime buildup, reduced efficiency, and corrosion.
The Merus solution
Installation of a Merus Bio Ring on the pipe between well and storage tank to reduce biofilm, corrosion, and limescale without chlorine.
