Tannin Removal

Tannin removal is the method of removing tannin from water.

Tannin (tannic acid) is a type of organic compound that is released into soil and water during the decaying process of vegetation like plants, leaves, seeds, fruit, branches and bark.

It is brownish/yellow in color (like tea).

Tannins can be removed by either tannin softeners, ozone treatment, membrane systems or carbon activated backwashing filters, depending on the amount of tannin that is present in the water.

Water than contains tannins can stain fixtures, dishes and laundry and can also cause a bitter taste or moldy odor in water.
