What conditions typically dictate the use of carrier water in chemical feed applications for Municipal Drinking Water Treatment?
 
The main purpose for using carrier water is to increase the flow velocity of chemical line. It helps to:

- avoid settlement in pipes (i.e during lime water feeding)
- increase flowability in pipes (i.e. during polymer feeding)
- reduce the time-lag between the dosing pump and dosing point
