Songkarn,

When you say you have rust in the treated water do you mean that rust is on the pipes? Or is the water a rusty colour? Or is there flakes of rust in the water?

This is important because they are different problems.

You may have Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (Mic).

However, before a proper answer can be developed, it is necessary to know what is in the raw water, the treatment that the water receives, and the operations of your facility.

If you have iron in your water and the water is chlorinated you will have rust delivered in your water.

If the iron in your water is greater than 0.3 mg/L you will get rusty water when it reacts with chlorine
