Special Instructions for Inactivating AVIAN INFLUENZA A virus in Veterinary Clinics, Animal Life Science Laboratory, Zoos, Pet Shops, Kennels, Breeding and Grooming Establishments, Animal Housing Facilities, Poultry Houses, Hatcheries

For cleaning and disinfecting hard, non-porous surfaces: equipment, utensils, instruments, cages, kennels, stables, and catteries. Remove all poultry or animals and feeds from premises, animal transportation vehicles, crates, etc. Remove all litter, droppings, and manure from floors, walls, and surfaces of facilities occupied or traversed by poultry or animals. Empty all troughs, racks and other feeding and watering appliances. Thoroughly clean all surfaces with soap or detergent and rinse with water. Saturate surfaces with a use solution of ¾ cup (6 fl. oz.) of product per gallon of water and let stand for 5 minutes, drain and air dry. Immerse all halters, ropes, and other types of equipment used in handling and restraining animals as well as forks, shovels, scrapers used in removing litter and manure. Ventilate buildings, coops, and other closed spaces. Do not house poultry or animals or employ equipment until treatment has been absorbed, set or dried. All treated feed/water bowls, racks, troughs, automatic feeders, fountains, and waterers must be rinsed with potable water before reuse.

Swimming Pool Water Disinfection

For a new pool or spring start-up, superchlorinate with 107 to 213 fl.oz. of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available chlorine by weight. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH to between 7.2 to 7.6. Adjust and maintain the alkalinity of the pool to between 50 to 100 ppm. To maintain the pool, add manually or by a feeder device 22 fl.oz. of this product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield an available chlorine residual between 0.6 to 1.0 ppm by weight. Stabilized pools should maintain a residual of 1.0 to 1.5 ppm available chlorine. Test the pH, available chlorine residual and alkalinity of the water frequently with appropriate test kits. Frequency of water treatment will depend upon temperature and number of swimmers. Every 7 days, or as necessary, superchlorinate the pool with 107 to 213 fl.oz. of product for each 10,000 gallons of water to yield 5 to 10 ppm available chlorine by weight. Check the level of available chlorine with a test kit. Reentry into treated pools is prohibited above levels of 4.0 ppm due to risk of bodily harm.

At the end of the swimming pool season or when water is to be drained from the pool, chlorine must be allowed to dissipate from treated pool water before discharge. Do not chlorinate the pool within 24 hours prior to discharge.

Winterizing Pools

- While water is still clear & clean, apply 6.5 fl.oz. of product per 1000 gallons, while filter is running, to obtain a 3 ppm available chlorine residual, as determined by a suitable test kit. Cover pool, prepare heater, filter and heater components for winter by following manufacturers' instructions.

Spas, Hot-Tubs, Immersion Tanks, Etc.

Spas / Hot Tubs

- Apply 11 fl.oz. of product per 1000 gallons of water to obtain a free available chlorine concentration of 5 ppm, as determined by a suitable chlorine test kit. Adjust and maintain pool water pH to between 7.2 and 7.8. Some oils, lotions, fragrances, cleaners, etc. may cause foaming or cloudy water as well as reduce the efficiency of the product. To maintain the water, apply 11 fl.oz. of product per 1000 gallons of water over the surface to maintain a chlorine concentration of 5 ppm. After each use, shock treat with 17 fl.oz. of this product per 500 gallons of water to control odor and algae. Reentry into treated spas is prohibited above levels of 5.0 ppm due to risk of bodily harm. During extended periods of disuse, add 6.5 fl.oz. of product daily per 1000 gallons of water to maintain a 3 ppm chlorine concentration.

Hydrotherapy Tanks

- Add 2.5 fl.oz. of this product per 1000 gallons of water to obtain a chlorine residual of 1 ppm, as determined by a suitable chlorine test kit. Pool should not be entered until the chlorine residual is below 3 ppm. Adjust and maintain the water pH to between 7.2 and 7.6. Operate pool filter continuously. Drain pool weekly, and clean before refilling.

Sewage & Wastewater Effluent Treatment

The disinfection of sewage effluent must be evaluated by determining the total number of coliform bacteria and/or fecal coliform bacteria, as determined by the Most Probable Number (MPN) procedure, to ensure that the chlorinated effluent has been reduced to or below the maximum permitted by the controlling regulatory jurisdiction.

On the average, satisfactory disinfection of secondary wastewater effluent can be obtained when the chlorine residual is 0.5 ppm after 15 minutes contact. Although the chlorine residual is the critical factor in disinfection, the importance of correlating chlorine residual with bacterial kill must be emphasized. The MPN of the effluent, which is directly related to the water quality standards requirements, should be the final and primary standard and the chlorine residual should be considered an operating standard valid only to the extent verified by the coliform quality of the effluent.

The following are critical factors affecting wastewater disinfection.

1. Mixing: It is imperative that the product and the wastewater be instantaneously and completely flash mixed to assure reaction with every chemically active soluble and particulate component of the wastewater.

2. Contacting: Upon flash mixing, the flow through the system must be maintained.

3. Dosage/Residual Control: Successful disinfection is extremely dependant on response to fluctuating chlorine demand to maintain a predetermined, desirable chlorine level. Secondary effluent should contain 0.2 to 1.0 ppm chlorine residual after a 15 to 30 minute contact time. A reasonable average of residual chlorine is 0.5 ppm after 15 minutes contact time.
