Screen Clean
is a new formulation for use when removal of rust, scale and
mineral deposits from bore holes or wells is required. Chlorine
is commonly used, but fails to dissolve entrenched iron bacteria
fouling.
Screen
clean through its two part formulation acts on both organic
and inorganic substances to give complete penetration into
the encrustation. Additionally, Screen Clean sterilises the
bore hole and gives immediate relief from iron bacteria problems
When iron bacteria
infects a bore, the resulting growth is usually deposited
onto bore hole equipment. Iron
oxide (due to bacteria) suspended in bore water is usually
exhibited as bio fouling in irrigation pipes. Growth deposits
impact on bore hole equipment as well as irrigation plumbing.
Iron
bacteria increases the problems associated with iron.
Iron and sulphate reducing bacteria contribute to clogging,
corrosion and bio-fouling of the bore hole.
It causes unsightly staining
on buildings, equipment, plants, foot paths and road verges.

Screen Clean benefits:
Dissolves iron
deposit build-up in the bore hole and pump
Helps to prevent
bore hole pump failure
Gives control
over the problems caused by iron sulphate bacteria
Restores the bore
hole water yield depleted by bio-fouling
Complete bore
hole clean out
Helps control
staining caused by iron bacteria
Cost effective
Reduces pump maintenance
Can be added directly
to the bore
Guarantees extended pump life
and bore hole yield
Screen
Cleanis
used successfully either by simply tipping it down the bore hole
while the pump is still in position or for more complete remedial
work the pump is removed and the bore hole treated.
Simple procedure - Disconnect the pump
from the pipe work at the bore hole surface. Tip the mixed chemical
down the bore hole and leave for 24 hours. After this time pump
the bore hole water to waste until the water is clear.
How much? How serious is the problem?
In general there are two dilutions. 10% if the problem is serious
or 5% for a general maintenance dose. Commonly in a 101mm bore,
1 litre of Screen Clean per metre of bore hole water will give
approximately a 10% solution.
