USER AND STORAGE PRECAUTION NOTE:
This NaDCC product should not be mixed with incompatible materials such as organic materials, nitrogen containing materials, other oxidizers, acids, bases, oils, grease, sawdust, and dry fire-extinguishers containing monoammonium compounds. In particular, the NaDCC should not be mixed with Calcium Hypochlorite (HTH). Though the pots give good protection if kept closed, it is strongly recommended, if practical, to store them apart from incompatible materials.

Directions for use and dosage:
1/- To obtain a 0.5 percent Chlorine solution: Pour 1 spoon of NaDCC Granules in 1.5 litre of water. Stir to dissolve. Appr. 10 spoons for one Oxfam type bucket of 14 liters.
The 0.5% (= 5,000mg/l available chlorine) solution is used directly for SURFACE disinfection.

2/- To obtain a 1 percent Chlorine solution: Weigh out and dissolve 20g of NaDCC Granules in 1 litre of water. Stir to dissolve.
The 1% (= 10,000mg/l available chlorine) solution is used to disinfect larger quantities of WATER, as following examples:
- For 1mg/l in 10 Litres water, add 1ml solution
-For 5mg/l in 10 Litres water, add 5ml solution
NOTE: 1mg/l = 1 ppm available chlorine.

DRINKING WATER:
1/- Pre-treatment/simple filtering can be necessary to ensure that the water turbidity is less than 5 NTU before chlorinating.
2/- Ensure that a minimum contact time of 30 minutes is allowed before consumption.
3/- Ensure a thorough mix, by recirculation where appropriate.
4/- Always test for residual chlorine levels. It is desirable to leave a residual chlorine level of 0.3-0.5 mg/l after 30 minutes contact.
5/- During outbreaks it is recommended that chlorine residuals should be maintained as follow:
0.5mg/l at all points in the supply
1.0mg/l at standposts and wells
2.0mg/l in tanker trucks at filling
