Notes:
1) The addition of chlorine (bleach) to a hot water tank that has in the past been fed with untreated raw water with
high levels of other contaminants (iron, manganese, hydrogen sulphide, organics, etc.) will result in oxidation of
these contaminants and may require repeated flushing of the hot water tank. This contingency must be dealt with
independently under the start-up procedure for any other conditioners that may form a part of the pre-treatment
for the UV unit.
2) The above disinfection procedure will result in a massive chlorine residual far in excess of the 0.5 to 1.0 mg/L
typically present in municipally chlorinated water and of a magnitude consistent with the minimum 50 mg/L
chlorine solution recommended for the disinfection of distribution systems known to be contaminated. Do not
consume water until complete system has been flushed
.
