Disinfection of Water Conditioning Systems
The materials of construction in the modern water
conditioning system will not support bacterial growth,
nor will these materials contaminate a water supply.
During normal use, a conditioner may become fouled
with organic matter, or in some cases with bacteria from
the water supply. This may result in an off-taste or odor
in the water.
Some conditioners may need to be disinfected after
installation and some conditioners will require periodic
disinfection during their normal life.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of
conditioner, the type of ion exchanger, and the
disinfectant available, a choice can be made among the
following methods.
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite
These materials are satisfactory for use with
polystyrene resins, synthetic gel zeolite, and
bentonites.
5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
These solutions are available under trade names such
as Clorox
