PURPOSE OF WATER TREATMENT:
Besides killing “free-swimming” bacteria, a water treatment chemical must also be
able to control Biofilm. Traditional water treatment chemical such as chlorine do
not do this. Chlorine in fact feeds Biofilm...
Freebac is ideally suited for this purpose as it incorporates a number of key factors
important to successful water treatment:
1) Disinfectant & virucide (broad spectrum)
2) Legionella control.
3) Remove Biofilm completely
4) Prevent Biofilm formation
5) Does not affect taste, odour or colour of water
FREEBAC TREATMENT:
FREEBAC can be used in two ways to ensure a clean and safe water distribution system:
1) Shock treatment:
Freebac is dosed at 1-2% in the water system and left for 1-2 hours. His will remove
all biofilm from the system and destroy all micro-organisms.
2) Continual dosage:
Freebac is dosed continually at 20 -50 ml/m3 water. This insures control of micro-organisms
and of Biofim
BIOFIM:
This is a major problem in any water system. Once micro-organisms have formed a biofilm
they are protected from traditional chemicals such as chlorine and even boiling water.
The biofilm acts as a shield protecting the micro-organisms from outside influences.
Micro-organisms are perfectly safe inside the biofilm and although they come in contact
with chemicals such as chlorine, it will be such that they will not be affected by
it - in fact they will be able to build up a resistance to it. From the Biofilm,
micro-organisms such as Legionella will be able to infect the entire water distribution
system.
