4. The proposed federal drinking water standard for chlorine is 4 parts per million (ppm). Many city water supplies are treated with chlorine to reduce the possible spread of bacterial disease. The system operators are required to maintain a detectable level of chlorine in the piping system

6. Sanitizing food contact utensils - The recommended The recommended chlorine concentration is between 50 ppm and 100 chlorine concentration is between 50 ppm and 100 ppm (parts per million) for sanitizing food contact ppm (parts per million) for sanitizing food contact surfaces like pans or clean utensils. This is about 1 surfaces like pans or clean utensils. This is about 1 teaspoon of regular bleach per gallon of water. The teaspoon of regular bleach per gallon of water. The maximum concentration that should ever be used is maximum concentration that should ever be used is 200 ppm, which is about one tablespoon of regular 200 ppm, which is about one tablespoon of regular chlorine bleach per gallon of water. chlorine bleach per gallon of water.

8.8. From Laundry Essentials – From Laundry Essentials – • Household liquid bleach, identified by the words

“sodium hypochlorite” in the ingredient listing is the only bleach that disinfects. It is also the most effective bleach for stain removal and whitening. This is the bleach of choice for whites and colorfast garments.

• RECOMMENDED LIQUID BLEACH AMOUNTS PER WASHLOAD

Extra large washing machine - 1 1/2 cupsStandard large washing machine - 1 cupMedium washing machine - 3/4 cupSmall washing machine - 1/2 cupHand washing (2 gallon sudsy water) -

1/8 cupone (1) cup = approx 240 ml


From Laundry Essentials (Continue) – From Laundry Essentials (Continue) – • PRESOAK PROCEDURE

– Use 1/4 cup household liquid bleach per gallon of water.

– Submerge entire garment and soak for 5 minutes.– Rinse and wash according to care label.

• Color-Safe Bleach is, quite simply, a bleach that is safe to use on washable, colored clothes. These bleaches, available in powder and liquids, remove stains and help keep colors bright. The powdered bleaches also have enzymes to break up tough protein stains, which is why they make an excellent presoak. A color-safe bleach is not a diluted bleach. The gentle leaching action in liquids is from hydrogen peroxide. Powders commonly use sodium perborate. These color-safe bleaches also have optical brighteners. This ingredient is like an invisible layer on fabrics. It reflects light, making colors appear brighter and whites whiter.


9. Home Cleaning– Disinfectants - Commercial disinfectants or

sanitisers, ¼ cup of laundry bleach*, with 4litres of water

– Mildew removers - Commercial mildew removers, Washing soda, tri-sodium phosphate or ¼ cup of laundry bleach* with 4 litres of water

– Apply cleaner and give it time to work before you mop or sponge it up.


10. Wells Disinfection– The water in the well is dosed to a concentration

between 50 mg/L and 200 mg/L of free chlorine and leave undisturbed for 12 to 24 hours

– If the test indicates the concentration of free chlorine residual in the well-water is between 50 mg/L and 200 mg/L, you must do the following -Pump the water out of the well until the concentration of free chlorine residual in well water is less than 1 mg/l.

Repeat well dosing cycle the 2nd time. – Chlorine Solution Table - Well Diameter Amount of

bleach per 25 feet of well depth4 inch - 1 cup5 inch - 1½ cups6 inch - 2 cupsExample: A 4 -inch diameter well 150 feet deep would need 6 cups of bleach to treat the well.


11. Food processing applications– Food processing in-plant chlorination systems

typically produce water for processing with residual available chlorine levels of no more than 0.5 ppm. For container cooling or general washing, residual available chlorine levels of 2 to 7 ppm are commonly used. Typical municipal water systems produce potable water with a residual available chlorine level of 0.25 to 2 ppm.


12. HTH – Calcium Hypochlorite• As a General Rule 3/4 lb. (1 1/2 cups) of

granular calcium hypochlorite mixed in 100 gallons of water will make a 500 ppm solution.

• Follow the directions on the packages for disinfecting water. If the directions are not available, a rule of thumb is to use one tablet for each quart of water to be disinfected.
