Joel:
If water is for human consumption at some stage then use ALUM.
Many people in Australia draw water from rivers or canals that is used for irrigation purposes and drink that water.
EVERYONE uses ALUM as the flocculent to clean their drinking water of suspended solids/colloids.
Some use additional cleaning/filtering, some do not.
