NEW WELLS - Flush the casing with a 50-PPM available chlorine solution of water containing 11 oz. of this product for each 100 gallons of water. The solution should be pumped or fed by gravity into the well after thorough mixing with agitation. The well should stand for several hours or overnight under chlorination. It may then be pumped until a representative raw water sample is obtained. Bacterial examination of the water will indicate whether further treatment is necessary.
EXISTING EQUIPMENT - Remove equipment from service, thoroughly clean surfaces of all physical soil. Sanitize by placing 45 oz. of this product for each 5 cubic feet capacity (approximately 500-PPM available chlorine). Fill to working capacity and let stand at least 4 hours. Drain and place in service. If the previous treatment is not practical, surfaces may be sprayed with a solution containing 11 oz. of this product for each 5 gallons of water (approximately 1000-PPM available chlorine). After drying, flush with water and return to service.
EMERGENCY DI SI NFECTI ON AFTER FLOODS:
WELLS - Thoroughly flush contaminated casing with a 500-PPM available chlorine solution. Prepare this solution by mixing 11 oz. of this product with 10 gallons of water. Backwash the well to increase yield and reduce turbidity, adding sufficient chlorinating solution to the backwash to produce a 10 PPM available chlorine residual, as determined by a chlorine test kit. After the turbidity has been reduced and the casing has been treated, add sufficient chlorinating solution to produce a 50 PPM available chlorine residual. Agitate the well water for several hours and take a representative water sample. Retreat well if water samples are biologically unacceptable.
RESERVOIRS - In case of contamination by overflowing streams, establish hypo chlorinating stations upstream of the reservoir. Chlorinate the inlet water until the entire reservoir obtains 0.2-PPM available chlorine residual, as determined by a suitable chlorine test kit. In case of contamination from surface drainage, apply sufficient product directly to the reservoir to obtain a 0.2-PPM available chlorine residual in all parts of the reservoir.
BASINS, TANKS, FLUMES, ETC. - Thoroughly clean all equipment, then apply 43 oz. of product per 5 cu. ft. of water to obtain 500 PPM available chlorine, as determined by a suitable test kit. After 24 hours, drain, flush, and return to service. If the previous method is not suitable, spray or flush the equipment with a solution containing 11 oz. of this product for each 5 gallons of water (1000-PPM available chlorine). Allow to stand for 2 to 4 hours, flush and return to service.
FILTERS - When the sand filter needs replacement apply 170 oz. of this product for each 150 to 200 cubic feet of sand. When the filter is severely contaminated, additional product should be distributed over the surface at the rate of 100 oz. per 20 sq. ft. Water should stand at a depth of 1 foot above the surface of the filter bed for 4 to 24 hours. When filter beds can be backwashed of mud and silt, apply 170 oz. of this product per each 50-sq. ft., allowing the water to stand at a depth of 1 foot above the filter sand. After 30 minutes, drain water to the level of the filter. After 4 to 6 hours, drain, and proceed with normal backwashing.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM - Flush repaired or replaced section with water. Establish a hypo chlorinating station and apply sufficient product until a consistent available chlorine residual of at least 10-PPM remains after 24-hour retention time. Use a chlorine test kit.
EMERGENCY DI SI NFECTI ON AFTER FI RES:
CROSS CONNECTIONS OF EMERGENCY CONNECTIONS - Hypo chlorination or gravity feed equipment should be set up near the intake of the untreated water supply. Apply sufficient product to give a chlorine residual of at least 0.1 to 0.2 PPM at the point where the untreated supply enters the regular distribution system. Use a chlorine test kit.
EMERGENCY DI SI NFECTI ON AFTER DROUGHTS:
SUPPLEMENTARY WATER SUPPLIES - Gravity or mechanical hypochlorite feeders should be set up on a supplementary line to dose the water to a minimum chlorine residual of 0.2 PPM after a 20 minute contact time. Use a chlorine test kit.
WATER SHIPPED IN BY TANKS. TANK CARS. TRUCKS, ETC. - Thoroughly clean all containers and equipment. Spray a 500-PPM available chlorine solution and rinse with potable water after 5 minutes. This solution is made by mixing 11 oz. of this product for each 10 gallons of water. During the filling of the containers, dose with sufficient amounts of this product to provide at least a 0.2 PPM chlorine residual. Use a chlorine test kit.
EMERGENCY DI SI NFECTI ON AFTER MAI N BREAKS:
MAINS - Before assembly of the repaired section, flush out mud and soil. Permit a water flow of at least 2.5 feet per minute to continue under pressure while injecting this product by means of a hypochlorinator. Stop water flow when a chlorine residual of test of 50 PPM is obtained at the low-pressure end of the new main section after a 24-hour retention time. When chlorination is completed, the system must be flushed free of all heavily chlorinated water.
SPECI AL I NSTRUCTI ONS FOR CLEANING AND DECONTAMI NATI ON AGAI NST HI V (AI DS VI RUS) ON SURFACES/ OBJECTS SOI LED WI TH BLOOD/ BODY FLUI DS:
Kills HIV-1 (AIDS virus) on pre-cleaned environmental surfaces/objects previously soiled with blood/body fluids in healthcare settings or other settings in which there is an expected likelihood of soiling of inanimate surfaces/objects with blood or body fluids, and in which the surfaces/objects likely to be soiled with blood or body fluids can be associated with the potential for transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) (associated with AIDS).
Personal Protection: Disposable latex or vinyl gloves, gowns, masks, and/or eye coverings must be worn during all cleaning and decontamination procedures of blood and other body fluids.
Cleaning Procedures: Blood and other body fluids must be thoroughly cleaned from surfaces and objects before applying this product.
Cleaning Procedures: Blood and other body fluids must be thoroughly cleaned from surfaces and objects before applying this product.
