Water Safe 60®

Water Safe 60®

WaterSafe60® is an environmentally friendly and fully functional replacement for traditional acids commonly used in water treatment, well servicing, and drilling.

Until now, the only effective way to reduce the pH of your re-claimed water has been to use harsh mineral acids. While these acids lower the pH of the water you want to discharge, they pose significant challenges in their storage and use.

WaterSafe60® safely lowers pH in water without the use of harsh mineral acids. This is done through the power of SynTech® the world’s only synthetic acid. SynTech® carries a triple-zero HMIS score, is rated non-corrosive, non-fuming, 100% biodegradable, non mutagenic to fish and wildlife. With that said, SynTech® outperforms hydrochloric acid formulations in a wide variety of industries every day. In fact, SynTech® formulations have proven to be 15% faster dissolving calcium carbonate than Muriatic acid. WaterSafe60 can be used for a variety of descaling, rehabilitation, titration and corrosion control uses and is certified to NSF/ANSI 60 specifications for use on potable water systems and wells. It’s even Kosher Pareve approved. WaterSafe60® has no harsh smell or dangerous fumes and has been proven to pose no inhalation risk, exceeds all D.O.T and OSHA requirements and requires no secondary containment. WaterSafe60® can be delivered in concentrated form and diluted on site or delivered to meet your needs by your Heartland Energy Group representative.

Refer to Use Instructions on the following page for specific use levels.

The formula and its ingredients meet or exceed the EPA’s Safer Choice program requirements for both the safety of the environment and the user.

Pipe cleaning aid:

Product may be used at concentrations up to 100% depending on severity of fouling. Close off or disconnect section of pipe to be cleaned. Drain and fill with WaterSafe60® at desired concentration. It is recommended for effective cleaning to use at no less than 15% dilution strength. Allow product to work for at least 30 minutes or longer as necessary. Drain and flush pipes with fresh water checking pH to ensure it returns to normal before reestablishing connections. Recommended Dosage: 175-500 gallons WaterSafe60® per 1000 gallons water.

Well drilling aid:

When used as a well drilling aid WaterSafe60® will help to prolong the life of y e of your equipment and enhance drilling efficiency by helping to soften hard minerals and formations. Simply replace a portion of the water used in your drilling fluid with the desired percentage of WaterSafe60®. Do not alter your drilling procedure. When purging the well check pH to ensure it returns to normal levels. Recommended Dosage: 50-150 gallons WaterSafe60® per 1000 gallons water.

Well rehabilitation Aid:

Calculate the approximate volume of the system to be cleaned including the volume of the casing, screen, bore hole annulus, and all associated plumbing. Inject the calculated volume of fluid in to well at desired concentration after verifying that supply connections are shut off or otherwise disconnected. Allow product to work for sufficient amount of time (at least 30 minutes). Following use purge the system until pH returns to normal levels or until at least twice the volume injected is removed. If necessary, sanitize the well following treatment. Maximum dosage 20 gallons WaterSafe60® per 1000 gallons water.

Corrosion & Scale Control:

For use to inhibit corrosion and control scale product must be dosed into system using an injection or metering pump. Effective product dosage is based on a variety of factors. For general corrosion and scale control in systems with normal or below normal water hardness recommended dosage is between 2-10 mg/L. In systems with high levels of mineral hardness dosages up to but not exceeding 80 mg/L may be used. It is best to start at a lower dosage and periodically inspect for scale buildup to determine if higher dosage levels are necessary.

pH Adjustment:

For use to control and adjust the pH of a system it is recommended that your process control system feature pH probes upstream and downstream of product injection point for best accuracy. It is suggested that a bench titration be performed to determine use level for your specific system as the effect on pH will be varied dependent upon water quality. In most cases less WaterSafe60® will be needed in comparison to mineral acids to perform the same adjustment. Maximum use Level is 80 mg/L.

Descaler:

OFF-LINE USE:
Product may be used at concentrations up to 100% depending on severity of fouling. Isolate equipment or pipe to be cleaned. Drain and fill with WaterSafe60® at desired concentration. It is recommended for effective cleaning to use at no less than 15% dilution strength. Allow product to work for at least 30 minutes or longer as necessary. Drain and flush pipes with fresh water checking pH to ensure it returns to normal before reestablishing connections. Recommended Dosage: 175-500 gallons WaterSafe60® per 1000 gallons water.

ON-LINE USE:
For on-line use for scale removal and control product must be dosed into system using an injection or metering pump. Effective product dosage is based on a variety of factors. For adequate scale removal and control in systems with normal or below normal water hardness recommended dosage is between 2-10 mg/L. In systems with high levels of mineral hardness dosages up to but not exceeding 80 mg/L may be used. It is best to start at a lower dosage and periodically inspect for scale buildup to determine if higher dosage levels are necessary.
