  • Dose static tank water to 5ppm available chlorine and leave for 5 minutes to drain off
  • Using a suitable sanitising solution such as 200ppm solution mixed with neutral detergent (or Biospot Detergent Sanitister Tablets), thoroughly clean the tank and rinse out
  • Place sufficient tablets in the tank and does to 60ppm, fill the tank with fresh water and leave overnight. Check for a chlorine residual of at least 50ppm before neutralising, drain off and resume use

For all new water pipe installations, dosing the system to 50ppm available chlorine for a minimum of 30 minutes before checking for a chlorine residual is recommmened.
