These particles attract suspended solids in the raw water and form floc. The water is stirred slowly with paddles to mix the alum with the raw water.Sedimentation: The water is allowed to settle. The heavy particles (floc) settle to the bottom and clear water is taken off the top and carried to the filters.Filtration: Clear
