My water is treated at the source. Do I still need to clean my pipelines?

Yes. Even if the water is clean at the source, contamination can occur as it travels through pipelines. Biofilm formation is often triggered by mineral deposits or residues from nutritional supplements added to the water.

Can I use chlorine to eliminate biofilm?

No. While chlorine disinfects water, it doesn’t remove biofilm. Effective pipeline cleaning requires oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or chlorine dioxide.

Can I clean pipelines while animals are present?

Yes, but only with preventive cleaning methods. Curative cleaning products are highly concentrated and unsafe for animals. For continuous cleaning, use products specifically designed for low-concentration applications.

What signs indicate the presence of biofilm?

Signs include reduced water consumption by animals, changes in the taste or odor of water, and recurring health issues linked to pathogens. Regular inspections of pipelines may reveal visible deposits or slimy residues.

Is it possible to completely eliminate biofilm?

Completely eradicating biofilm is challenging, as it can quickly reform. However, cleaning with chlorine dioxide significantly reduces its presence and impact.

Di-O-Clean Liquid, 20 L - Water disinfectant - Detergents

Solutions to remove and prevent biofilm

Oxidation strength and oxidation capacity are crucial characteristics of water line disinfectants. Oxidation capacity measures how frequently a single disinfectant molecule can oxidize another compound, while oxidation strength reflects the intensity of this reaction. Most disinfectants typically engage in two oxidation reactions. However, chlorine dioxide stands out for its remarkable reactivity, enabling it to participate in up to five oxidation reactions, even at low concentrations.
