INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUROGENE IN WATER STORAGE
SYSTEMS
Regular Treatment
for Maintaining Water Storage Systems
Starting with a
system known to be clean, simply add 1 ounce of PUROGENE
per 30 gallons of tank capacity. Continue to use PUROGENE each time the
system is filled.
If the
cleanliness of the system is unknown, follow the procedure for system
disinfection and then continue to use PUROGENE at the rate of 1 ounce
per 30 gallons water to maintain the system.
PROCEDURE FOR SYSTEM
DISINFECTION
For each 10 gallons of
tank capacity, place 1 ounce of PUROGENE
in a clean, plastic or glass container.
To the measured PUROGENE,
add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and allow the mixture to stand in a shady
spot for about 5 minutes.
Add the PUROGENE/lemon
juice mixture to the tank or container and fill it with clean water.
Run water from
all outlets so as to completely fill all lines and fixtures with the
treated water. If necessary, refill the tank till full.
Let the system
stand for at least an hour and then drain the tank and lines. You DO NOT
need to flush the tank.
The system is
now disinfected and ready for use.
Continue to use PUROGENE
each time the tank is filled at a rate of 1 ounce PUROGENE
per 30 gallons water.
PUROGENE
is a 2% solution of stabilized chlorine dioxide (contains no free chlorine).
Chlorine dioxide has been recognized safe for water treatment for more than
50 years.
PUROGENE,
even in its concentrated form, is safe to handle.
PUROGENE
does not impart a chlorine taste or odor to the water. Also, PUROGENE
will eliminate many off tastes that are present in water.
