Water treatment chemicals only work if they reach the system in the right condition, at the right time and in the right quantity. Poor storage and management can lead to degraded products, dosing failures and unplanned downtime.
Store products correctly
Many treatment chemicals are sensitive to temperature, sunlight or contamination. Follow the storage guidance on the safety data sheet, keep containers sealed and protect products from freezing or overheating.
Segregate incompatible chemicals
Acids, alkalis and oxidisers must be kept apart, with suitable bunding and clear labelling. This protects staff and prevents dangerous reactions in the event of a leak.
Manage stock levels
Running out of a critical product can quickly lead to scale, corrosion or compliance breaches. Level monitoring and automatic reordering make sure you always have enough on site without overstocking.
The most expensive chemical is the one that wasn't there when you needed it.
Maintain dosing equipment
Pumps, injection quills and controllers need routine inspection and calibration. A simple maintenance schedule prevents many common failures.
Train your team
Everyone who handles chemicals should understand the hazards, safe handling procedures and what to do in an emergency.
