Abstract

The microbiological impurities are the most critical ones in a water system and are thus of special concern. In case of contamination of a purification unit or a distribution system, the user must react quickly. The authors have written down their experience and explain details about the typical microbiome of a water system. In addition, advice is given on how to remediate microbial contamination.
