Using “Off the Shelf” Bleach Quick Guide to Maintain Consistency Using “Off the Shelf” Bleach Quick Guide to Maintain Consistency By: Matthew Demers 3/20/2020 While we are in the midst of the COVID 19 crisis and we are all looking at supply chain stresses and struggles you as operators may find yourselves in a situation where you may need to use a bleach product that you may not usually use. The following information is to help you determine what and how much of a different bleach product to use, while maintaining the safety of your water for you and your users. Find and Use Approved Products It is important use chemicals that are approved by the Maine Drinking Water Program and meets the NSF 60 requirements. The following is the list of currently approved “Off the shelf” bleach that can be used for disinfection in drinking water. Be sure to check MEDWP for updates https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/environmental- health/dwp/fit/documents/ApprovedBleachProductsForDisinfection.pdf Maine Drinking Water Approved "Off the Shelf" Chlorination products As of March 20, 2020 Clorox Regular Bleach (6%) EPA Registration # 5813-100 Clorox Germicidal Bleach EPA Registration number 5813-100-67619-32 Clorox Ultra Bleach (8.5%) EPA Registration # 5813-50 Clorox Regular Bleach2 (with Cloromax) (6%) EPA Registration # 5813-111 Clorox Germicidal Bleach (7.5%) EPA Registration # 67619-32 Pure Bright Disinfectant Bleach NSF 60 Pure Bright Disinfectant Bleach 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite NSF 60 Pure Bright Disinfectant Bleach 6.00% Sodium Hypochlorite NSF 60 Information You Need: Verify Product is on the list and the Determine your “Normal” Bleach and EPA Registration No./NSF rating match “New” Bleach concentration (%) Determine how much you need: • Divide the normal bleach concentration by the new bleach concentration to get a conversion factor. Now simply multiply the conversion factor by the amount of bleach used in your mix recipe to determine how much new bleach to use. For example: If your normal bleach is Clorox Regular at 6%, you get Clorox Ultra at 8.5% and your normal mix is 3 cups of bleach to 15 gallons of water: 6% 8.5% = 0.71 then 3 cups X 0.71 = 2.13 cups of new bleach to 15 gallons of water. It is important to make additional checks of your system chlorine residual after you start using a new bleach to make sure you are still in your normal range. 0.2 to 0.7 mg/L is usually the desired range and at no time should the residual go over 4.0 mg/L .

  • Chlorine Vs. Chlorine Bleach: What’S the Difference?
    Chlorine vs. Chlorine Bleach: What’s the Difference? By Bruce K. Bernard, PhD, and Stephen A. Hubbs, PE October 16, 2020 In a nutshell… The terms “chlorine” and “chlorine bleach” are not always used accurately in reporting emergency incidents in which elemental chlorine gas or liquid chlorine bleach escape their containers. These two substances have different chemical and physical properties and represent different potential risks to human health. This article explains the differences between the substances and highlights the importance of accurate reporting on chemical incidents. A recent emergency at a Baltimore water filtration plant highlights the importance of using accurate terms when reporting chemical incidents. According to a media report, on September 16, fire crews responded to a “chlorine leak” at the Lake Montebello Water Filtration Plant. The same article notes that residents living in the neighborhood of the filtration plant were asked to shelter in place as firefighters investigated a “chlorine spill” from the filtration plant. Fortunately, there were no injuries resulting from the incident, but the words chosen to describe the event were misleading. A chlorine “spill,” implies a liquid flowing from the facility; a chlorine “leak” is less specific regarding the state of matter (e.g., liquid or gas). In reality, chlorine gas had escaped into the air, requiring a response 1/3 gallon of 7.5% strength chlorine bleach significantly different than for a spill of chlorine bleach.

Chlorine is a naturally occurring chemical element that is extremely reactive (meaning it will react easily with other elements).

All spray bottles must be clearly labeled with contents.* DISINFECTING CHANGING TABLES, BATHROOMS, TOYS All changing tables/diapering areas, bathrooms and toys must be disinfected after each use. The following solution of bleach and water should be used on these surfaces: 1 tablespoon of bleach per 1 quart of water OR ¼ cup of bleach per 1 gallon of water This will give you a 500-800 ppm disinfecting solution. Remake solution daily. Soaking method for toys: Wash and rinse toys to remove any visible dirt. Soak toys in a solution of ¾ cup of bleach per gallon of water for 5 minutes.

  • Japanese Manga and Its Buds Lynne, Miyaki Final Project Bleach
    Priest 1 Alexander Priest May 2013 Jpnt 179 Graphically Speaking: Japanese Manga and Its Buds Lynne, Miyaki Final Project Bleach ‘Live Action’ Screenplay This is a satirical screenplay of the manga series created by Tite Kubo. Priest 2 Introduction: There haven’t been many American ‘live action’ movie adaptations of manga. There was a brief period, where movies Speed Racer (2008), Astro Boy (2009), and Dragonball Evolution (2009) debuted and theatres, but they would receive negative or mixed reception. To commemorate these movies, I have drafted an intentionally horrible screenplay for my imaginary movie, Bleach: Soul Reaper ™. Unfortunately, I was not able to create that would actually span an entire movie. A myriad of difficulties and challenges embodies the difficulties that come with creating these adaptations in the first place. Firstly, I have had a lack of experience in screenplay writing. My second struggle came with adapting the much-loved Bleach and trying to corrupt it for the sake of satire. Maintaining a coherent storyline is difficult when you are also trying tamper with existing plots and storylines. Adaptations will always contradict the source material, it is inevitable, but much effort goes in deciding what should and shouldn’t be changed. Successfully fulfilling the notion of a “terrible adaptation” proves more challenging than initially expected. Thirdly, I didn’t know how to keep the screenplay informative without inserting footnotes to provide context and justification. The purpose of this project is to reveal common mistakes and disastrous trends within American interpretations of Japanese source materials, so I created a portion of a live-action screenplay that embodies this.

  • CALVING EASE March 2004 Sam Leadley (Attica Veterinary Associates) and Pam Sojda (Offhaus Farms)
    CALVING EASE March 2004 Sam Leadley (Attica Veterinary Associates) and Pam Sojda (Offhaus Farms) Using Bleach as a Germicide For Manual Washing Feeding Equipment What is it? Nearly everyone is familiar with “bleach.” Technically, bleach is a water-based solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl in water). The most common form is household strength dilution. It varies from 5.25 to 6 percent by weight of the active ingredient. Commercial supplies are available in the 12 to 15 percent dilution range. This strength is frequently used to sanitize bulk tanks and milking systems on dairy farms. The national brand best known in this product is Clorox. Much like other familiar brands (e.g., Kleenex, Vaseline) this name has become nearly equal to the product itself. As a chlorine compound, bleach acts “on microbial membranes … and oxidizes cellular protein. Chlorine has activity at relatively low temperatures, is relatively cheap, and leaves minimal residue or film on surfaces.” (Schmidt, p10) It is the first choice for many farms. How can I make it work effectively? Like other oxidizing agents, it is important to use bleach properly. The four factors that determine how well bleach works as a germicide are: • Strength of the bleach – the percent of active ingredient as used • Concentration of bleach – how much bleach is added to a given amount of water • Temperature of bleach solution • Duration of exposure of equipment to bleach solution Strength of the Bleach Don’t confuse the strength of the product with the washing solution concentration. As a hazardous liquid, all chlorine bleach must be labeled.
