1.4 Safety Instructionse
1.4.1 Quality of the Untreated Water
Sufficient quality of the untreated water must be ensured!
Faultless drinking water is achieved only when all filters of the equipment are
maintained regularly.
1.4.2 Chlorination of Drinking Water
When applying post chlorination, the limit values set by national laws must be main-
tained. The chemicals used have a caustic and fire-promoting effect.
Dangers:
- Danger of fire in case of contact with combustible materials.
- Toxic gas develops when coming in contact with acids.
- Heat or direct sunlight decomposes the chemical: Chlorine and oxygen are released.
- Caustic effects to the eyes, skin and respiratory system result.
Safety Instructions:
- Wear acid-resistant protective equipment (goggles, gloves) and when dust is produced,
breathing mask protection with a filter.
- Keep an eye wash bottle (small) readily available.
- Provide for adequate room ventilation and a washing facility.
- Store the chemicals in a cool, dry place, not below 5 °C.
- Store chemicals in a location out of the reach of children.
In Case of Accidents:
- In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately and thoroughly with fresh water and
consult a doctor.
- Use water to extinguish; avoid impact and friction.
- If solutions are spilt, flush the area with a sufficient amount of fresh water.
1.4.3 Disposal of Chemicals
It is generally recommended to admit resulting disinfection solutions, preservation solutions, etc.
into a neutralizing system.
If this should not be possible, the disinfection solution, after clarification with the relevant
authority (mayor’s office, district administration office, etc.) is to be neutralized and can
afterwards be led into the public sewer system.
