Aquafit is an excellent disinfecting chemical for the treatment of potable water.It works as a germicide and kills all harmful bio-organisms present in the water. It destroys all the organic materials present and makes water suitable for human consumption.

PUBLIC SYSTEMS : Mix a ratio of 1 oz. of this product to 6000 gallons of water. Begin feeding this solution with a hypochlorinator until free available chlorine residual of at least 0.2 ppm and no more than 0.6 ppm is attained throughout the distribution system. Check water frequently with a chlorine test kit. Bacteriological sampling must be conducted at a frequency not less than prescribed by the Local Drinking Water Regulations. Contact your Local Health Department for further details.

INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS : DUG WELLS – Upon completion of the casing (lining) wash the interior of the casing (lining) with a 10 ppm available chlorine solution using a stiff brush. The solution can be made by thoroughly mixing 1 oz. of this product into 40 gallons of water. After covering the well, pour the sanitizing solution into the well through both the pipe sleeve opening and the pipeline. Wash the exterior of the pump cylinder also with the sanitizing solution. Start pump and pump water until strong odor of chlorine in water is noted. Stop pump and wait at least 24 hours. After 24 hours flush well until all traces of chlorine have been removed from the water. Contact your local health department for further details.

INDIVIDUAL WATER SYSTEMS: DRILLED, DRIVEN & BORED WELLS – Run pump until water is as free from turbidity as possible. Pour a 100 ppm available chlorine sanitizing solution into well. This solution can be made by thoroughly mixing 1 oz. of this product into 40 gallons of water. Add 5 to 10 gallons of clean, chlorinated water to well in order to force the sanitizer into the rock formation. Wash the exterior of pump cylinder with the sanitizer. Drop pipeline into well, start pump and pump water until strong odor of chlorine in water is noted. Stop pump and wait at least 24 hours. After 24 hours flush well until all traces of chlorine have been removed from the water. Deep well with high water levels may necessitate the use of special methods for introduction of the sanitizer into the well. Consult your local Health Department for further details.

INDIVIDUAL WATER SYSTEMS : FLOWING ARTESIAN WELL - Artesian wells generally do not require disinfection. If analysis indicate persistent contamination, the well should be disinfected. Consult your local Health Department for further details.

EMERGENCY DISINFECTION – When boiling of water for 1 minute is not practical, water can be made potable by using this product. Prior to addition of the sanitizer, remove all suspended material by filtration or by allowing it to settle to the bottom. Decant the clarified, contaminated water to a clean container and add 1 grain of this product of 1 gallon of water. One grain is approximately the size of the letter “O” in the sentence. Allow the treated water to stand for 30 minutes. Properly treated water should have a slight chlorine odor; if not, repeat dosage and allow the water to stand and additional 15 minutes. The treated water can then be made palatable by pouring it between clean containers for several times.

RESERVOIRS – ALGAE CONTROL : Hypochlorinate streams feeding the reservoir, Suitable feeding points should be selected on each stream at least 50 yards upstream from the point of entry into the reservoir.

MAINS : Thoroughly flush section to be sanitized by discharging from hydrants. 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 test of 50 ppm is obtained at the low pressure end of the new main section after a 24 hours retention time. When chlorination is completed, the system must be flushed free of all heavily chlorinated water.

NEW TANKS, BASINS, ETC – Remove all physical soil from surfaces. Place 4 oz. of this product for each 5 cubic feet of working capacity (500 ppm available chlorine). Fill to working capacity and allow to stand for at least 4 hours. Drain and flush with potable water and return to surface.

NEW FILTER SAND – Apply 16 oz. of this product for each 150 to 200 cubic feet of sand. The action of the product dissolving as the water passes through the bed will aid in sanitizing the new sand.

NEW WELLS – Flush the casing with a 50 ppm available chlorine solution of water containing 1 oz. of this product for each 100 gallons of water. The solution be pumped or fed by gravity into the well after thoroughly 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 services, thoroughly clean surfaces of all physical soil. Sanitize by placing 4 oz. of this product for each 5 cubic feet (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 1 oz. of this product for each 5 gallons of water (approximately 100 ppm available chlorine). After drying, flush with water and return to service.
