Bio-Purge
WD-3100
 If
you are noticing that your aeration diffusers, airstones or Bubble Tubing™
lengths are releasing fewer and fewer bubbles then likely a biofilm is forming
a coating that is restricting airflow by blocking holes and perforations.
Bio-Purge
is our leading cleaning/maintenance product for underwater air diffusion systems
including aeration discs and Bubble Tubing™. As with any aeration product,
over time, air diffusers and bubble tubing benefit from a maintenance treatment
to remove calcium deposits, or organic biofilm that may coat the surfaces and
inhibit airflow. Biofilm
develops slowly covering the small holes designed to release microbubbles
of air. Factors such as temperature, water quality, water hardness, pH and air
pressure all effect if or when a biofilm may form, which explains why there are
instances when no biofilm develops, or biofilm develops rapidly. To
counter this problem use Bio-Purge WD-3100 which is an environmentally friendly
product to eliminate the biofilm or calcium deposits that may be hindering the
efficiency of your aeration system. Similar in characteristics and effectiveness
as such well known products as "CLR" yet designed for use in potable
water. It is certified ANSI/NSF, and is a product currently used in municipal
water treatment resevoirs, and is also recommended by Health Canada and the Ministry
of Environment (MDDEP). Approved for use both in the US (CFR) and Canada. Bio-Purge
is safe for use in all aquatic environments.
Bio-Purge
replaces muriatic acid as an effective cleaner and de-clogger of airstones. Cleaning
diffusers or cleaning airstones with diluted muriatic acid solutions is a thing
of the past.
Automated
Bio-Purge delivery systems are available for large scale aeration applications
which allow a Bio-Purge treatment to be performed quickly in applications involving
hundreds of feet of Bubble Tubing or when large numbers of diffusers are involved.
Cleaning
your diffuser discs, air stones or Bubble Tubing™
Step
1: Disconnect the main airline(s) that leads to your diffuser disc, airstone
or Bubble Tubing™.
Step
2: Pour in an appropriate amount of Bio-Purge liquid into the airline(s).
Step
3: Re-connect the main airline and turn on the compressor briefly to distribute
the liquid into all of the the diffuser discs, airstones or Bubble Tubing.
Step
4: Turn off your compressor to allow the Pio-Purge to
completely dissolve the biofilm. This will be anywhere from
15 minutes to 1 hour.
Step
5: Turn on your compressor. Your diffuser discs, air stones or Bubble Tubing
will be cleaned from the inside-out and will be once again performing at their
optimal level. |
Bio-Purge
comes in 4 litre format or for industrial applications, 15 and 45 gallon formats.
Use within 6 months of purchase for best results. Contact us for more application
details and advice, as every system is different.
Beyond cleaning diffusers
and tubing, WD3100 is an excellent dispersant/bio-penetrant specifically formulated
to control iron, scale, bio fouling, and other filter related problems in potable
or industrial water systems. WD-3100 is a non-phosphate-based product that may
be used in water systems to clear away oxidized metal build up, scale deposits,
and when used in conjunction with a biocide, bacterial species from filter media.
