This paper covers two separate corrosion problems with equipment exposed to potable water in a filter plant operation. The first item for discussion is the corrosion of Type 304 stainless steel microstrainer screens. The second part concerns the mitigation of galvanic corrosion of surface washwater equipment in a rapid sand filtration system. The water in both systems is the same; with the characteristics shown in Table 1.
