A chlorine disinfection device that injects sodium hypochlorite into well water. This explains the structure of the device, the concept of the injection amount, and the reasons why the injection stops.
Chlorine disinfection of well water is a method that involves injecting a disinfectant into the pumped water to maintain residual chlorine. The disinfectant primarily used is a solution of sodium hypochlorite. Here, we will explain the equipment and the concept of injection amounts.
■ What is the disinfectant made of?
A well water chlorine disinfection system mainly consists of the following components:
1. Chemical tank: Holds the sodium hypochlorite solution
2. Injection pump: Draws the chemical from the tank and pressurizes it for delivery
3. Injection pipe: Directs the chemical into the well water piping
■ Can you notice if the injection stops?
If the injection stops due to a malfunction of the injection pump or pipe, the water used during that time will not be disinfected. There have been incidents at water treatment plants where alarms for low residual chlorine did not activate due to incorrect settings. It is essential to regularly check that alarms are functioning properly.
■ Operation of the disinfection system includes inspections
The injection equipment and the remaining amount of disinfectant should be checked and recorded daily. Following incidents at drinking wells, daily checks and records have been implemented as a response. The amount of chemical, injection pump, and injection pipe should also be inspected daily. Please feel free to consult with us first.
