Chemicals to disinfect water

 

 

Hydrogen peroxide.

Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2), concentration 35%, Food Grade.

Dose (in ppm) – Min-Max: 20-100, ideal range: 50-60 ppm

Hydrogen peroxide is the preferred option pPlow sanitation with flotation solution.

H2O2 is also an extremely powerful oxidizing agent, making it suitable for the destruction of a variety of contaminants and contaminants.

When used, H2O2 breaks down into water, oxygen and ozone, which are the least harmful to the human body.

If used in excessive amounts, a strong ozone odor may be observed. The tank should be vented to remove odor and H2O2 ratios should be adjusted accordingly.

H2O2 in doses greater than 100 ppm is dangerous for the human body. Therefore, care must be taken to maintain H2O2 levels at optimal levels.

Do not use H2O2 and Chlorine in the same cycle. Both chemicals will cancel each other out.

As with all chemicals, it is essential to handle them with gloves and protective glasses.

 

 

Chlorine (sodium hypochlorite, NaClO), 10% concentration

Dose (in ppm) – Idea range: 1 – 3

Chlorine is an extremely powerful oxidizing agent, making it suitable for the destruction of a variety of contaminants. It is mandatory in some countries as a standard for commercial pools/spa/jacuzzi tanks.

It can be used as a water clarifier. The floating solution may become cloudy due to a fine suspension of human body oils after several uses. Chlorine has the ability to bind to this substance, allowing filters to remove the substance more effectively, giving the floating solution a clear, bright appearance.

It has an extremely strong odor, which is associated with that of public swimming pools. The smell can be extremely negative for some floaters.

Concentrated use of chlorine may not be suitable for use in a closed environment, due to the strong odor of chlorine byproducts.

Some hypothetical concerns about chlorine and human health, such as asthma, skin irritation, etc.

 

 

Bromine

Bromine (1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin), usually in tablet form.

Dose (in ppm) – ideal range: 2 – 4

Bromine is another common water disinfectant used in spas and hot tubs.

It comes in tablet form, making it easy to dose. It can be placed inside the filter chamber and allowed to slowly dissolve over time.

However, Bromine has trouble dealing with organic contaminants, such as oils and sweat, and can cause water to develop mold or slime.

It also has a very strong odor, which can be uncomfortable in a closed float tank.

 

 

UV light disinfection

Ultraviolet light is used as a complement to chemical dosing in water

UV rays are only effective against live microorganisms, although the effects are minimal in saline solution of optimal salinity.

Allows the use of reduced chemical levels

 

 

Brown or greenish water coloration

 

In areas where groundwater is used in taps, metal contamination of the flotation solution can cause the water to take on a tinted color. (For example, green for iron contamination, brown for copper contamination). The tint of the colors can vary from a slight tint to a deep, complete water color change.

Metal removal chemicals will help break down metal contamination, allowing the water to return to its natural clear state.

Please note that depending on the severity of the float solution color change, a complete change of the float solution might be a better solution to the problem.
