- Take the relevant installation or process out of operation and lock it against reuse. You can do this by placing a
padlock or other blocking mechanism (Lock Out).
2To mark
Attach a sign, label or sticker to the padlock or blocking mechanism to reveal the nature and the expected duration of
the work to other persons (Tag Out).
3To check
- Check if the source of energy is switched off.
- Remove any remaining energy.
- Check that the installation or process is actually safe (Try Out).
Use personal protective equipment
Ensure you wear personal protective equipment (gloves, dust masks...).

WATER QUALITY
Warning
The health of the animals depends on the quality of their daily drinking water.
The water quality depends on:
The phosphate, nitride, nitrite, chloride, iron, calcium and other concentrations.
The deposits in the lines.
The administration of medication.
Cleaning and disinfection.
Have the water checked at regular intervals!
Maximum allowable concentration:
Ammonia <1mg/l (3.78mg/GAL) Sulfates <100mg/l (378mg/GAL)
Chlorides < 200 mg/l (757mg/GAL) Iron < 0,2 mg/l (0.76mg/GAL)
Phosphates < 0,01 mg/l (0.038mg/GAL) Salt < 1 mg/l (3.78mg/GAL)
Manganese < 0,1 mg/l (0.38mg/GAL) pH-value 5-8
Nitrate < 0,25 mg/l (0.95mg/GAL) Hardness
(_DH)
<15
Nitrite < 0,1 mg/l (0.38mg/GAL)
Source: European Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC
Phosphates/Nitrogens:
Algal growth:
Algae are organisms that use carbon dioxide as source of carbon for the production of new cell material. The
required energy is provided by sunlight.
Algae blooms occur in standing or slowly moving water, usually having a high phosphate and nitrogen load
(ammonia and nitrate).
Optimal growth temperature for algae:
18-45°C, pH value: 5-8.
Algae death due to lack of light and/or nutrients leads to mineralization by bacteria with oxygen consumption.
Impact on
water
pH increase due to large amounts of carbon dioxide that are extracted from the water.
Impact on
system
Cause: Loosened micro culture substances.
Effect: Valve/nipples leakages.
Action Remove deposits using stabilized hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) based products.
Nitrate/Nitrite:
Nitrate concentration > 0.25 mg/l: sandy soils with intensive livestock farming.
Ammonia concentration > 1 mg/l: in peaty soils.
Water from these soils usually has higher nitrite content. Unfit for consumption!
Impact on health
Danger
Direct consumption of nitrite is deadly!
Nitrate is converted to ammonia in the body. One of the intermediate compounds is
nitrite.
When the chemical reaction is not completed (for some time), death ensues.
Action Nitrate concentration ≤0.25 mg/l / Nitrite concentration ≤0.1 mg/l!

Iron:
When water is pumped to the surface, iron occurs in its soluble ferrous form.
The insoluble ferrous ions oxidize upon exposure to air or dissolved oxygen.
These and other chemical reactions cause insoluble gelatinous deposits.
Impact on
water
Hardly any impact on health.
Neutralizes the effectiveness of medication.
Alters the taste, resulting in decreased water consumption.
Impact on
system
Cause: Gelatinous compounds.
Effect: Harmful to nipples, electric water valves if used.
Action Eliminate the iron from the system if iron content > 0.2 mg/l!
Calcium:
Hardness:
Any deposits in the lines will usually remain there.
If a chemical reaction takes place between mineral substances present, some inorganic compounds can
serve as energy and nutrient source for the micro-organisms living in the water.
Impact on health Not harmful.
Alters the taste, resulting in decreased water consumption.
Impact on
system
Cause: Water becomes more conductive.
Effect: Corrosion and calcium deposits.
Action Soften the water.
Medication
Harmful
effects of
medication
Some substances in the medication may loosen the organic deposits in the lines.
Antibiotics: high risk of strong and rapid growth of moulds that use the sugar of some
medicines as nutrient, resulting in gelatinous deposits.
Impact on health Products lose their effectiveness.
Impact on
system
Cause: Some substances in the medication may loosen the organic deposits in the li
nes.
Effect: Nipple leakages.
Cause: Gelatinous deposits.
Effect: Obstructions.
Action Make sure lines are clean before administering medication.
Clean the drinking system at regular intervals.
Disinfect and flush properly after each medication.
Residues of cleaning agents may reduce the effectiveness of the medicines.
Cleaning and disinfection
Keep in mind the strength of the solutions and follow the supplier’s instructions for use!
Always read the instructions of cleaning agents and disinfectants!
Check whether the product may be used in an occupied house!
Be aware of the implications of the combined use of different types of cleaning agents and disinfectants!
Calcium and iron
deposits (inorganic)
Remove by using acid agents.
Bacteria and moulds Remove by using a chlorine-based disinfectant.
Organic
deposits
Remove by using an alkaline cleaning agent.
Clean and disinfect the lines at regular intervals. Most agents only work properly with regular cleaning.
Disinfect and flush properly after each medication.
