Drinker Line Cleaning

Drinker lines are the mains sources of water for chickens or swine while in grow out houses.  These lines have the ability to transport clean fresh water to the animals, but they also have the ability to transport bacteria, or fungus to them.  Water lines build up bio-film.  This bio-film is the perfect place for bacteria and fungus to live.  There have also been studies that show viruses live within this bio-film.  To make sure to have a clean water source it is common practice to flush in a cleaner to try and remove any build up.  The key is to make sure you are using a cleaner that is doing the best job possible.  PronTech's patented formulation gives it the ability to chemically bond with the bio-film to emulsify it and remove the build up.  After removing the build up PronTech can then kill any pathogen present.  Look below at the handout to see how well PronTech performed against other drinker line cleaners that are much more corrosive and dangerous.
