The Benefits of PC-7 PDF Print E-mail

PC-7 is a proprietary blend of acids that when added to water will bring down the pH and will raise the ORP (oxidative reduction potential) thus helping make an oxidizer like our Oxy Blast work more effectively.  Other acids like citric acid, phosphoric acid and acetic acid don’t work nearly as well.  Those acids and the oxidizers will lose their effectiveness when combined. 


PC-7 comes in a granular form, mixes easily and stays in solution for many days.  Always wear rubber gloves when working with PC-7.  If you don’t already have a combination pH/ORP meter, consider purchasing one.  It will help you a lot when trying to keep the water at the ideal pH and ORP levels.  


There are many benefits of PC-7.  Lowering the pH of the water for livestock and poultry will:

  • Enhance the immune system of that animal for a more rapid response to the foreign substances that are attacking the animal’s system.
  • Help negate the organic and inorganic substances that usually go undetected in the water.
  • Improve the biological function of each cell to increase the assimilation of the nutrients.
  • Lower the surface tension of the water which raises the cell frequency. The higher the density of the water the less frequency exchange between the cells and the less nutrient assimilation.
  • Lower nitrates in water to safe levels thus keeping animals (especially young stock) from having severe health challenges.

 
Below are Gordy Jordahl’s suggested pH levels of water for livestock and poultry:

 

Swine                 Production stage / Weight             Ideal pH

                                         Nursery                                6.0

                                      Grow-Finish                        6.5-7.0

 

Cattle                       Calves (under 300#)                    6.0

                                 Calves (300-600#)                    6.5-7.0

                             Feedlot cattle (over 600#)            6.8-7.3

Dairy                       Cows and heifers                      7.2-7.4

 

Poultry                            Brooder                             5.5-6.0

                                    Grow-Finish                          6.0-6.5
 
Poly Phos PDF Print E-mail

Poly Phos is a blend of phosphates that is a premier corrosion inhibitor and sequestrant used in potable and industrial water systems.

Poly Phos blend actively inhibits corrosion by forming a microscopic, protective film on the inside surface of water pipes. This process limits the release of lead, copper, and iron from water lines and domestic plumbing. This poly phosphate blend helps to reduce rusty water and prevent the formation of iron deposits, resulting in greater Oxy Blast Plus residuals in the system. When using these products, Oxy Blast Plus can be more effective at controlling biofilm regrowth in the distribution system.

EWS Poly Phos blends also act as sequestering agents to reduce stains, discoloration, and rusty water caused by iron and manganese. Threshold treatment with these products holds scale-causing minerals, such as calcium, in solution as well. EWS Poly Phos blends remove existing scale and iron tuberculation buildup to improve water quality and distribution flow rates.

Benefits of Poly Phos

  1. Inhibits corrosion of steel distribution system water lines, iron and galvanized piping , and lead and copper plumbing.
  2. Decreases iron tuberculation, which can extend the life of the distributions system.
  3. Lowers lead and copper levels in the delivered potable water by inhibiting corrosion in the water system.
  4. Lessens the occurrence of microbial-influenced corrosion, providing longer system life.
  5. Controls iron and manganese, minimizing rusty or dirty water in the distribution system.
  6. Reduces discoloration, staining, and mineral build-up, resulting in fewer customer complaints.
  7. Diminishes calcium scale deposits typically seen in hot water lines and heaters.

()is a water dispersible nutritional supplement that maintains fluid electrolytes and stabilizes mineral metabolism in livestock for hydration and nutrient transfer.

The ions in ()are balanced ratios of potassium to sodium and magnesium based on several thousand water analyses throughout a large geographical area. ()sustains hydration at the cellular level.

  1. All animals perform better when their electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium and chlorides) are balanced at the cellular level
  2. Properly balanced electrolytes (ions) at the cellular level eliminate dehydration and other health-related problems.
  3. Excessive sodium levels in the water or feed cause an imbalance over other primary electrolytes which can increase hydrochloric acid secretion within the body which causes a more acid environment, relating to stomach discomfort and possible ulcers or scarring within the digestive tract. This imbalance hinders nutrient transfer and, consequently, animal performance.
  4. Avoid over-the-counter electrolyte products that usually contain high levels of chlorides. High levels of chlorides increase sodium absorption ratios, which, in turn, can lead to displaced potassium, thus causing dehydration.
