Abstract
A water treatment system for producing a sodium hypochlorite solution to control bacteria levels in well water containing: a pH adjuster; a container containing solid calcium hypochlorite for producing a calcium hypochlorite solution; and a container containing solid sodium carbonate for producing the sodium hypochlorite solution and a method of controlling bacteria levels in well water by using intermittent injections of a sodium hypochlorite solution with alternating pH values.
Claims35
A water treatment system for producing a sodium hypochlorite solution to control bacteria levels in well water, comprising:
- a line for inputting water;
- a pH adjuster, in fluid communication with said line, for adjusting a pH of the input water;
- a container containing solid calcium hypochlorite, in fluid communication with said pH adjuster, for producing a calcium hypochlorite solution;
- a container containing solid sodium carbonate, in fluid communication with said container containing calcium hypochlorite, for producing a sodium hypochlorite solution;
- and
- a line, in fluid communication with said container containing sodium carbonate, for supplying the produced sodium hypochlorite solution to the well.
A method for controlling bacteria levels in well water, comprising the steps of:
- (a) producing a first sodium hypochlorite solution having a first pH, said first pH being different than a pH of the well water;
- (b) supplying said first sodium hypochlorite solution to the well water;
- (c) producing a second sodium hypochlorite solution having a second pH, said second pH being different than the pH of the well water;
- (d) supplying the second sodium hypochlorite solution to the well water;
- and
- (e) repeating steps (c) through (d);
- whereby bacteria content in the well water are reduced.
