Water Polishing
The term water polishing can refer to any process that removes small (usually microscopic) particulate material, or removed very low concentrations of dissolved material from water. The process and its meaning vary from setting to setting: a manufacturer of aquarium filters may claim that its filters perform water polishing by capturing "micro particles" within nylon or polyester pads just as a chemical engineer can use the term to refer to the removal of magnetic resins from a solution by passing the solution over a bed of magnetic particulate. In this sense, water polishing is simply another term for whole house water filtration systems.

—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The true finish is the work of time, and the use to which a thing is put. The elements are still polishing the pyramids.”
