Product Registration

This product is registered with the U.S. EPA under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

Dosing Guidelines: Potable Water

This product is intended for use to treat water which has been previously treated in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), such as that provided by municipal water treatment facilities. For most municipal and other potable water systems, add this product to the water at a dose of between 1.5 ppm (1.5 mg/L) and 2.0 ppm (2.0 mg/L) chlorine dioxide (a dilution ratio 1:2000 to 1:1500). Under US EPA regulations, drinking water intended for human consumption may not contain more than 0.8 ppm (0.8 mg/L) residual chlorine dioxide and no more than 1.0 ppm (1.0 mg/L) chlorite ion.

Dosing Guidelines: Animal Drinking Water

Add this product to the water at a maximum dose of 5.0 ppm (5.0 mg/L) chlorine dioxide (a dilution ratio 1:600) to disinfect water for animal consumption. If the water supply has heavy contamination (e.g. highly turbid, discolored, heavy organic load), prepare a solution of 5.0 ppm chlorine dioxide by adding this product to water at a dose of 5.0 ppm (5.0 mg/L) chlorine dioxide (a dilution ratio 1:600). Allow 15 minutes before delivery to poultry. After 24 hours, the addition rate can be reduced to 1 ppm (1 mg/L) chlorine dioxide (a dilution ratio of 1:3000), as long as terminal concentration at the end of the waterline is not less than 0.5 ppm (0.5 mg/L). Treat water continuously from day one. Remove this product from drinking water 24 hours prior to vaccination, then resume treatment 24 hours after vaccinations.

Dosing Guidelines: Fruit and Vegetable Wash

When used as a fruit and vegetable wash or spray, add this product to water at a maximum dose of 100 ppm (100 mg/L) chlorine dioxide (a dilution ratio of 1:30) to achieve a residual of between 0.5 and 3 ppm (0.5 and 3.0 mg/L) chlorine dioxide. Adjust feed dosage to maintain residual measured immediately following the spray or dip solution immersion. A potable water rinse is not required for those fruits and vegetables that are not further processed by blanching, cooking, or canning.

Always follow the current EPA-accepted product label for exact dosing, equipment, and handling instructions. It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
