Intra Hydrocare water treatment

Intra Hydrocare has been specially designed to tackle the most underestimated problem in intensive livestock farming; drinking water quality. Farmers often assess the drinking water based on the quality at the source, whereas the quality of the actual drinking water in the drinking system often contains many pathogenic microorganisms. It is a major misunderstanding that problems may be prevented by disinfecting the water with chlorinated agents or acids. Intra Hydrocare has been designed to tackle this problem by tackling the biofilm where the microorganisms flourish.

What are Biofilms?

A biofilm is a collection of organic and inorganic, living and dead material collected on a surface. It may be a complete film or, more commonly in water systems, small patches on pipe surfaces. Biofilms in drinking water pipe networks can be responsible for a wide range of water quality and operational problems. Biofilms can be responsible for loss of distribution system disinfectant residuals, increased bacterial levels, reduction of dissolved oxygen, taste and odor changes, red or black water problems due to iron or sulfate-reducing bacteria, microbial-influenced corrosion, hydraulic roughness, and reduced materials life.

 
Cleaning is more important than disinfection

To prevent the animals from getting ill due to contaminated drinking water, it is very important to remove biofilm from drinking water systems. Adding medicines, vaccines and nutritional supplements to drinking water creates a biofilm resulting in organic pollution of drinking water. Biofilm is the breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, in the biofilm, these microorganisms are often protected against disinfectants. Removing the biofilm removes 99% of all microorganisms, and pathogens will not stand a chance to protect themselves from disinfectants.

Dual action of Intra Hydrocare

Intra Hydrocare is specially developed for cleaning and disinfection of drinking water systems and has a dual action:
* It removes the complete biofilm from the drinking water system
* It disinfects the drinking water so that pathogenic microorganisms can no longer infect the animals.

 
Features of Intra Hydrocare

• Removes Biofilm from drinking water
• Disinfects drinking water
• Helps prevent ill health in animals
• Increase water odore and taste
