How safe is Pour n' Go in drinking water
|
|
VERY SAFE. Pour n' Go is approved in New Zealand as
a water treatment chemical (NZFSA C61) in premises processing
food, and also in Australia, the UK and several other countries
as a safe water treatment chemical. It is tasteless and odourless,
and all ingredients of Pour n' Go are food grade and approved
food additives. As it reacts with the contaminants in the water,
it breaks down into oxygen and water, and leaves no harmful
residues. |
|
|
Is it safe to handle?
|
|
YES. Pour n' Go can be safely handled, transported,
and stored while observing normal chemical handling precautions.
The precautions detailed on the label should be observed, and
when handling, rubber gloves and eye protection are a sensible
precaution. |
|
|
Is it easy to use?
|
|
YES. Simply measure out the required amount and add it to
the water tank. Pre-mixing or activating is not required, and
it does not give off unpleasant odours or dangerous fumes. |
|
|
How do I know how much to use?
|
|
Dose rates are printed on the labels & an application
chart is available that gives recommended doses for most conditions
& tank sizes. If however, the water is badly contaminated,
increased doses can be applied with little fear of problems.
|
|
|
How should it be applied?
|
|
Pour n' Go can be manually applied to rainwater tanks through
the access hatch, and mixed by either spraying over the surface,
mixing with a paddle, or circulating the water by running a
hose back into the tank for a period of time. The more thoroughly
it is mixed, the quicker it will react. |
