Farm Water System Disinfection
Terminal and Continuous Disinfection
All water systems can potentially contain some viral and bacterial contamination, especially header tanks where dust and debris can accumulate. Disinfection will clean the system and eliminate viruses,
bacteria and fungal growth.
| Water System Disinfection | Dilution Rate | Application |
| Terminal Disinfection | 1:200 - 1:100 | Isolate header tank at the mains and drain off to drinker points farthest from tank. Clean out any gross soiling and debris. Refill with water and add the appropriate volume of Virkon® S powder, thoroughly stir and leave for 10 minutes. Flush system through to all drain-off points and leave for a further 50 minutes before draining system and refilling with clean water. |
| Continuous Disinfection | 1:1000 | Dose header tank as required or apply through water system dosing equipment. |
