In addition to coagulation, solid chemicals are integral in the disinfection phase of water treatment. Chemicals such as chlorine, chloramine, and chlorine dioxide, although mostly in liquid form, can also be stored and used in solid or tablet forms for convenience and safety. These disinfectants effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms, viruses, and bacteria, ensuring treated water is safe for human consumption and use. The effectiveness of these solid disinfectants is crucial, especially in areas lacking advanced water treatment infrastructures.

While pentoxifylline is generally well tolerated, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, gastrointestinal disturbances, and skin reactions. Serious side effects, although rare, may include cardiovascular events such as arrhythmias or hypotension.
In certain cases, particularly in industrial settings or where water quality criteria are stringent, de-ionization is required to remove dissolved salts and minerals. Ion exchange resins are used in this process, which exchange unwanted ions in the water for more benign ones. This method is essential for producing ultra-pure water needed in various applications, such as pharmaceuticals and electronics.
