Hi Mohannad. Thanks for your help. Yes, my primary reason for pH control is for disinfection. We were instructed to keep our 2x 300,000 ltr concrete storage tanks at 0.30ppm with a pH of high 8-9.10. At 4 of the work sites i deliver water to, these sites have additional Chlorine dosing, however, the public of 10-15,000 people have no disinfection and the conditions of the infrastructure/vermin proofing is minimal at best. From this point of view to protect the public, i control pH. Would i be correct in doing this as corrosion in steel tanks is a distant second in regards to water quality control ??
