Features & Benefits
- Product Attributes
- USALCO® Aluminum Sulfate is widely used because it is a cost-effective, clear solution that mixes well with water treatment.
- It does not add color to the water treatment process.
- Another benefit of acid alum product is a marked improvement in the settled water filterability as less sludge is typically produced.
- The result is higher quality water at a reduced operating cost.
