Chlorination has been widely used technique for disinfection of water in aquaculture operation. Chlorine as Sodium Hypochlorite is perhaps the most commonly misused chemical treatment. The chlorination of water still gives rise to lot of problems. Although chlorine is used to remove organic matter from the system it will not do that completely. Scientific research has pointed out that there is a possibility of formation of persistant chlorophenols in marginally chlorinated ponds. Moreover, chlorine is more effective against bacteria than fungi leading to the overgrowth of latter in treated ponds due to absence of competition. The presence of magnesium and iron in the water makes breakpoint chlorination impossible. The continuous presence of chlorine and chloramines might also interfere in more general sense of taste. DISFECTAL provides safe and effective alternative to the problematic chlorine treatments.

COMPOSITION : A mixture of peroxy components blended with inorganic and natrum salts.

ADVANTAGES : The specific advantages of DISFECTAL over chlorine are

DISFECTAL	CHLORINE
Effective against broad range of bacteria, fungi and virus	More efficient against bacteria
Safe to the animals hence can be used during culture period	Cannot be used during culture
Effective in presence of organic loads	Ineffective in presence of organic loads, iron and manganese etc
Does no affect plankton	Has negative effect on plankton
No environmental residues hence no problems for exports	Development of persistant toxic chlorophenols
Does no affect DO	May have negative impact on DO
Low non target organism toxicity	Toxic poetential is high

DOSAGE AND USAGE:

1 kg per acre of 1mt water coloumn. Dissolve in potable water and mix thoroughly till a clear pale yellow solution is formed. Spread it all over the pond. For any specific usage consult your aqua specialist.


PACKING:

1kg and 5 kg

* Note: do not probiotics along with Disfectal. If probiotics have to be used apply them after 48 hrs post disinfection with DISFECTAL
