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 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 Plus 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 Plus through its two part formulation acts on both organic and inorganic substances to give complete penetration into the encrustation. Additionally Screen Clean Plus sterilises the bore hole and gives immediate relief from iron bacterial problems.
The best time to clean up iron problems is as early as possible before any real damage is done. This should be long before any of the debilitating symptoms appear. If the problem is localised and caught in the early stages, chemicals can give a measure of control over a period of time.
