How to use HarvestSan Granular

Always add HarvestSan to water, never water to HarvestSan, and hold the wash water between pH 6.5 and 7.5 for best results. Measure and dose the granules by hand or by volume.

Dose: add the product to water to dissolve it. Never add water to the product; reversing the procedure is unsafe.

Control pH: keep wash water between pH 6.5 and 7.5, so the active stays in its most effective form, hypochlorous acid.

Protect: wear gloves. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and mucous membranes, and do not inhale the concentrated product.

Do not blend: never mix HarvestSan with other products.

Handle packaging: keep the product in its original packaging, firmly closed, in shade, in a dry, well-ventilated area away from foodstuffs and other chemicals. Dry the packaging before discarding and do not reuse it.

Should I choose Granular or Chips?

Same chemistry. Granular suits manual and volumetric dosing and batch dosing of wash tanks; Chips suit automated erosion feeders and inline dosers.

Why keep the pH between 6.5 and 7.5?

In that range the active stays mainly as hypochlorous acid, a far more efficient biocide than the hypochlorite ion.

How do I mix it safely?
