Water Mains & Pipework Chlorinations
Pipework Chlorinations
When is water chlorination needed?
There are several instances when a chlorination may be required on new or existing systems. These include:
System Contamination
If contamination is suspected or water analysis indicates microbial contamination then full cleaning and chlorination of the system should be carried out as soon as possible. A full system disinfection should also be carried out if a Legionnaire's Disease outbreak occurs.
New, modified or refurbished water systems
Chlorination is required before a new or refurbished water services installation is brought into service, this includes both hot and cold services.
System inactivity or stagnation
Chlorination should be carried out when the water services haven't been used regularly due to the potential for pathogens such as Legionella and Pseudomonas to contaminate the water system.
Legionella risk assessment recommends chlorination or cleaning
If a legionella risk assessment recommends chlorination of the water system this should be carried out as soon as possible, this could vary from a full mains injection to water tank cleaning and disinfection.
