Transforming Animal Health
A recent article from Teagasc called “Water Disinfection by Chlorination” discusses the importance of clean drinking water in optimizing the health and performance of pigs, with a special focus on the heightened sensitivity of younger pigs to substandard water conditions. The article sheds light on the paramount importance of water disinfection in safeguarding water purity.

Aquatabs InLine, using the chemistry of TCCA (Trichloroisocyanuric Acid), has been praised by farmers for its elevated effectiveness in purifying water and offering a cleaner, more effective alternative to traditional chlorine treatments. A simple yet effective addition to the world of water disinfection methodologies.
Improving water quality through effective disinfection methods is essential for the health and performance of livestock, particularly in pig farming. Clean, pathogen-free water is essentially the first step in preventing disease, promoting growth, and ensuring overall animal welfare, especially for younger pigs vulnerable to waterborne diseases. Disinfection using Aquatabs InLine has been shown as a cost-effective and efficient method for maintaining water quality on farms.
Inline disinfection systems provide a modern solution to water quality challenges in animal husbandry by offering continuous, automatic treatment directly within the water supply line. This method ensures consistent water quality, which is crucial for the survival and development of piglets.

?Benefits of Aquatabs InLine
Traditional methods of water disinfection, such as boiling, ultraviolet (UV) light exposure, and filtration, have their merits but often require significant manual intervention and maintenance. In contrast, inline systems like the Aquatabs InLine offer significant advantages, including no need for electricity, moving parts, measuring or mixing solutions, calibrations, expensive pumps, or extensive maintenance. Installation is straightforward, involving integrating the system into existing water lines for automatic dosing, with minimal maintenance required thereafter.

Ease of Installation
To install and maintain Aquatabs inline, you simply need to integrate the system into your existing water supply lines. Installation involves setting up the device so it automatically doses the water with TCCA as it passes through, ensuring continuous disinfection. Maintenance generally includes regularly checking the system for proper operation, replacing the cartridges as needed, and ensuring that the dosing mechanism is functioning correctly. As always, it is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for both installation and maintenance to ensure the system's effectiveness and longevity. For detailed instructions and maintenance schedules, it's best to consult the specific user manual or contact [email protected] for a full training programme delivered online.
