Aqualution in practice

Aqualution is dosed constantly into the water supply at the rate of 5-10%. The method used for dosing varies according to your individual unit: we supply Aqualution to units varying in size from less than 50 birds to >800 000. Aqualution is supplied either in 1000 litre IBCs or 25 litre drums, according to your requirements.

We recommend two dosing methods for game sites: manual dosing or doing using a Dosatron pump. This downloadable leaflet will help you decide which method is best for your unit

Aqualution needs to be added to the water supply at sufficient concentrations to achieve 1.5 to 2 ppm of free chlorine in the drinking water. Dose rate varies from farm to farm, depending on many factors, including water supply (mains, borehole), water mineral content (hardness, iron), water system and so forth. Typical inclusion rates will vary between 5-10%.

To assist in finding the optimum dosage for individual units we provide testing strips to measure free chlorine in the drinking water. This simple colour-change test is carried out on site and immediately shows free chlorine levels in the water, allowing the dose to be fine tuned accordingly. This allows each unit to have a bespoke water sanitising system.

HOW MUCH WATER DO YOUR BIRDS DRINK?
Do you know how much water your birds consume? Below are some interactive spreadsheets to calculate water usage on your unit. Fill in the blue boxes with your bird numbers and it will calculate water usage. In addition, it calculates how much Aqualution you would need, and how long a 1000 litre IBC will last on your unit. The spreadsheets are set to 5% dosing rate as standard: our recommended rates are 5-10%.
