Experimental studies of the effect of the intensity of mixing of mineral coagulants with water on the efficiency of water treatment in different periods of the year have been carried out. The studies were conducted in June-August - low-turbidity water with relatively low color and high temperature; November-December - low-turbidity and low-color water with low temperature; flood in April-May - increased turbidity and color of water with low temperature and alkalinity. The results obtained allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of concentrated coagulation, high-gradient mixing in water purification with mineral coagulants. The possibility of separate and joint use of mineral coagulants in different periods of the year was assessed.
