1.L8 Kit

Fatal outbreaks of Legionnaires' Disease show strict control and monitoring measures are more important than ever. The Palintest L8 Kit helps monitor the conditions that may allow Legionella to grow.
Since the first reported cases of Legionnaires' Disease in 1976, outbreaks of this potentially fatal disease remains a threat. This has highlighted the need for frequent monitoring and testing of potential sources of infection. It has been assembled in-line with the new Health and Safety Commission guidelines on Legionella which require that specific, weekly tests be carried out on potential sources of infection. All the components needed for these tests are provided in the kit.

2.Steadichlor

Steadichlor tablets offer a simple and effective means of water chlorination without the need for complex dosing equipment. Steadichlor tablets dissolve in water to give a slow steady chlorine release. The dissolving time is approximately 4 hours in flowing water or 12-24 hours in static water. Steadichlor tablets are prepared from calcium hypochlorite. In use, the tablets do not contribute any substances not normally present in treated mains water. Steadichlor tablets are available in two sizes - Steadichlor and Steadichlor-NS.
Use the size appropriate to the volume of water to be treated. Steadichlor tablets offer an ideal means of chlorinating water in tanks, wells or small reservoirs: and waste water in tanks or effluent streams. The tablets should be used in accordance with standard chlorination practice depending on the water to be treated and the purpose of treatment. Where chlorination is to be carried out to disinfect the water, a free chlorine residual of at least 1 mg/l should be achieved in the treated water.
Note that it will normally be necessary to add a higher chlorine dose to satisfy the chlorine demand of the water.
The dosage of Steadichlor tablets should therefore be controlled in response to free chlorine test readings taken on the treated water. Testing should be carried out using Palintest DPD No. 1 tablets and a chlorine test kit. Details of the Palintest DPD test and full range of test kits available are given in literature available on request.

3. Instachlor

Instachlor PR tablets provide a convenient means of small-scale water chlorination. The tablets may be added direct to water containers, water tanks, wells or small reservoirs. The choice of Instachlor PR tablet will depend on the quantity of water to be treated. The tablets should be used in accordance with standard chlorination practice depending on the water to be treated and the purpose of treatment.
Where chlorination is to be carried out to disinfect the water, a free chlorine residual of 1 mg/l should be achieved in the treated water. Note that it will normally be necessary to add a higher dose to satisfy the chlorine demand of the water.
