Water that is acidic, will actually dissolve metal piping, which will discolor water, causing red water.  "AQUA-TREAT #300" is effective in preventing this by protecting the pipes from corrosion.  The usable pH range is 6.0 to 8.5, which is the usual pH of potable water.  However, for acid water, neutralization to neutral pH or slightly higher is suggested.  Water treated with a water softener is especially prone to corrosion, which is prevented with "AQUA-TREAT #300" treatment.

"AQUA-TREAT #300" treatment is safe for human consumption and not detectable by taste.  Treatment of municipal water with the product is approved by the U.S. Public Health Service and most states.

In actual use, "AQUA-TREAT #300" is diluted usually in a drum of water and pumped into the water line with a positive displacement pump.  The specific dilution will be depended on water flow rate and chemical pump capacity.  One gallon of "AQUA-TREAT #300" will treat 116,000 gal. of water at 2 ppm, or 23,200 gal. of water at 10 ppm.  The recommended initial treatment is 10 ppm, with the normal concentration determined by customer needs (usually 8 ppm).
