Bacteria Control

CHLORINATION:

This process utilizes a chemical feed pump that injects a Hypochlorite solution (Chlorine bleach) into the water as it enters the building. This chlorine needs time to react and kill the bacteria in the water. The formula is 20 gallons of holding capacity for every gallon per minute of flow desired. One advantage to this type of system is that if you have a low PH, a second chemical can be added to the solution and injected into the water at the same time. Our feed pump systems include a 35 gallon solution tank to hold solution concentrate.  We have pumps that operate with your well pump, by meter pulse, timer, or proportional feeding.

The limitations to this type of system is that you need test the water daily to verify proper operation as well as monitor the solution level and add to it from time to time. This method requires a considerable amount of floor space and may have a higher setup cost.

HOLDING TANKS:

All Holding tanks are certified to NSF standards and made of durable non-metallic composite materials or heavy gauge steel. All tanks up to 120 gallon capacity, have 1.25" inlet and outlet openings.  Larger tanks are also available.

ULTRA VIOLET:

U-V light radiation penetrates the outer membrane of bacteria and viruses allowing the DNA (the cell's bearer of genetic information) to be destroyed. A minimum of 10,000 micro-watts/second are needed to destroy most organisms.

S & G Ultraviolet units are rated to emit 16,000 - 186,000 micro-watts/second and are available in a variety of flow rates. All units, except the budget model, contain a light sensor that continually monitors the light output. Should the light go out, an audible alarm will sound. An optional shut off would stop the flow of water if the alarm is tripped. This option is required on public water systems.

This type of system requires that the water be filtered prior to being fed to the UV unit. This can be done with a sediment filter, water softener or other filtering devise. The UV lamp has an operating life of approximately 9,000 hours (1 year).
