                    • the addition of- chlorine, ozone and UV is used to sterilize the water and kill pathogens
                  • used to remove organic chemicals e.g pesticides that cause bad taste
                • filter e.g sand filter are used to remove remaining bacteria
              • a floculante e.g aluminum sulfate is added to make all the small particles clump togeather
            • bubbles of air are used to aerate the water to unsure a high oxygen content
