Domestic Water Chlorination and Sterilisation Services

Chlorinations or sterilisations of domestic services should be undertaken where new installations or major extensions or alterations to existing systems have been carried out. Where required the incoming water main should be chlorinated prior to being connected to the water providers mains and a certificate of chlorination supplied, or where systems have not been in regular use or regularly flushed.

A chlorinating solution is normally introduced by proportional injection, this solution is then drawn through all outlets including tanks and down services and allowed to activate for a pre determined period. Following this activation period the system is flushed until the quality of water is equal to the incoming main. Bacteriological samples can then be taken.

Aquadition engineers are specifically trained to undertake and complete all types of system disinfections utilising the following products in line the requirements of the current legislation and approved codes of practice.

Sodium Hypochlorite (Chlorine)
Chlorine Di-oxide ( CLO² )
Hydrogen Peroxide- Silver. (H2O2)- (Ag)

The two main components, hydrogen peroxide as the oxidising agent and silver with its powerful oligodynamic and catalytic effect, are combined with stabilisers to form a complex solution.
