Why use clean water ?

  • Impurities in water ( large quantity of suspended solids , excessive amount of dissolved solids or salts , or appreciable amount of organic materials ) will 

  •  Affect setting 
  • Affect strength 
  •  Cause staining on concrete surface 
  • Cause corrosion of reinforcement 
  • Drying shrinkage 
  • Efflorescence 
  • Acidic water affect setting and hardening of concrete  , alkaline water > quick setting and low strengths .
