Tiny livingt creatures in the water
Unfiltered water and most especially wastewater
is home to over a million different
microorganisms that are extremely small and
cannot be seen by the naked eye.

These microbes are also classified even further
into specific types, each having its own unique
features. Each type can also have varying effects
on humans when ingested through drinking
contaminated water.

They approximately weigh 10-12g each and
normal municipal wastewaters contain 105 to 107
of bacteria/ml. There are several types of
bacteria with different characteristics, whether
theyre heterotrophic or autotrophic, anaerobic
or facultative.

This microbe lives/feeds on bacteria and
small algae, removing them from water systems.
They are a lot larger than bacteria, but most
standard water decontamination methods cannot
detect this microbe.
