Chlorination/Disinfection Chemical

PRODUCT NAME: AQUAFIT CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE

DESCRIPTION AND USE

Is a high grade Calcium Hypochlorite which has a very wide application in
drinking water treatment and swimming pools.
Aqua fit is an excellent disinfecting chemical for the treatment of potable
water. It works as a germicide and kills harmful bio-organisms present in the
water. It destroys all the organic materials present and makes water suitable
for human consumption.

METHOD STATEMENT

Generally carry out the works in accordance with procedures identified in Health
and Safety Executive publication HSE ACOP L8. Typical procedures required are as
follows:

Tanks shall be blend filled with fresh water and chlorinating chemical to give a
minimum free chlorine concentration of 50 ppm and when full allow standing for
one hour.

The solution shall then be distributed throughout the systems until tests indicate
that chlorine is present from every outlet or draw off. After standing for a further
one hour, the chlorine levels shall be tested at the most remote draw offs. If the
chlorine levels are below 30 ppm, the above procedures shall be repeated. The
tanks (cisterns) and pipe work shall remain charged with chlorinated water for a
minimum of 16 hours. The systems shall then be drained and thoroughly flushed out
with clean mains water until tests indicate that the free chlorine concentration is no
greater than 0.5 ppm or that present in the water supply mains, whichever is the
greater.

Disinfection of mains water services shall be carried out in a similar manner to the
above procedure except that initially the chlorinating solution shall be pre mixed to
a minimum of 50 ppm free chlorine before injection into the main and associated
distribution system.
