3. RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR THE PRODUCTION OF
SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE
W Choose one or several persons to be responsible for production
These persons should be trained and possess a general knowledge of
chemistry. Production with the WATA-Standard involves more than adding
salt to water. Failure to follow indicated procedures will lead to excessive
energy consumption that will adversely affect the proper functioning and life
span of the power supply.
W Choose an appropriate area and time for production
Production should be carried out in a ventilated area protected from dust
and the Sun’s rays, which has a temperature ideally between 25 and 30°C.
In countries with a hot climate, it is best to work early in the morning or in
the evening.
W Target output and concentration
The WATA-Standard works by electrolyzing salt water at 25 g/L to produce a
sodium hypochlorite solution with 6 g/L active chlorine. These parameters
should be followed in order to protect the life span of the device.
W In cases of unstable current, use a voltage regulator
If the power grid is subject to intermittent outages or sudden voltage
dips and surges (fluctuations in the intensity of light emitted by the bulbs
provides sufficient evidence that this is occurring), the power supply could
be destroyed. If this is the case, use a voltage regulator.
W Use with a generator
The generator should not run out of fuel while the WATA-Standard is in use.
Wait until the generator is stable before plugging in the WATA-Standard.
