DOSE: Factors which determine Drinksafe-8 treatment demand are: Drinksafe-8 concentrations, contact time, temperature, pH, number and types of microorganisms and concentrations of organic matter in the water.
Adequate treatment consists of a continual addition of Drinksafe-8 to the water up to the point where the required concentration is met and remains stable.
RATE: Determine volume of water for treatment. Is the water clean (rain water) or cloudy (dam water)? Clean water will require approximately 7mg/L or more Drinksafe-8, while clean dam water may need up to 15-22 mg/L or more to achieve a residual Drinksafe-8 conc. Residual Conc. requirements of 5 mg/L are determined after 24 hours contact time. It is recommended not to exceed dosage rates of 2.5 litre to 5 m3 (5000 litres) of water for
treatment.
For water of an unknown quality or it’s contaminated, such as a may be from a creek, lake, river or dam should be filtered through a suitably sized filter to exclude the possibility of protozoans in the raw water that may not be susceptible to the active ingredients in this product. It is worthwhile noting that some of these protozoa, particularly Cryptosporidium are highly resistant to most chemical.
Use Drinksafe-8 test strips to monitor correct concentrations of active ingredients.
