Description

Probio is a liquid biocide that allows you to quickly eliminate bacteria from all types of water installations.  Easy to use, this biocide additive gives you control over the levels of bacteria, so easily keep safe working environments.  

The active ingredients within Probio are changed, with each batch, to ensure no bacterial resistance is established, thus ensuring complete confidence for long-term treatments. 

The use of Probio is not restricted to industrial paint spray booths or pre-treatment plants, as it can be used in many other types of situations.  If you are unsure if Probio is the correct product to meet your requirements, then please just contact us, and we can ensure you are using the right product.

Dosage depends upon the type of installation; however, as an example, for many types of industrial treatment, we recommend an initial dose of 1% of the total water volume, which establishes the correct starting concentration. After this, a daily/weekly addition will maintain this concentration, especially if fresh water is added.  If this does happen, to maintain a working concentration, add between 1% - 1.5% of the estimated added water.

FAQs

What does Probio do?

Probio is a BIOCIDE which Wikipedia describes as 'a chemical designed to destroy, deter, render harmless, or exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism.' Therefore, Probio, when added to your industrial water, will kill or control the growth of bacteria. Bacteria in water are not necessarily harmful; however, unrestricted growth in water can lead to an unpleasant working environment (smelly water) and could be unhealthy if people come into contact with it.



How much do I add to my spray booth water tank?

Probio should be used at a working concentration of 1% of your water volume. Therefore, for every 1000 litres of water, you should be adding 10 litres of Probio to establish the initial working concentration. However, remember that the water may be topped up with fresh water, so daily or weekly additions of Probio may be required to maintain the 1% concentration.

Will this stop the smell coming from my water?

If not stop, then it will certainly make your water smell far less offensive.  However, if used correctly, the additions of Probio will eliminate all smells from the water as it will control the growth of bacteria, therefore will control smells that are emitted, especially during
warm weather.

Do I have to make regular dosages?

If you want to control bacteria within a body of water that is being used (a spray booth, degreasing tanks, etc.) or is within a working environment, then
we would suggest that a regular dose would be beneficial to control bacteria. It must be remembered that bacteria will continue to grow, so whilst an initial
dose can greatly reduce bacteria levels, if the water is then left untreated, new bacteria will start to grow.

Can I not just make a single addition of biocide?

You can make a single addition, and many of our customers do just that. We feel that there is only a requirement to add a biocide to industrial water if
bacteria levels are high. Sometimes, these levels can fluctuate, especially during warm weather or if the water is allowed to stagnate (maybe during shutdown periods).  In this instance, a shock treatment can reduce the bacteria levels to normal. This single treatment should be made at 1% of the water volume. Likewise, additions for a short period of time, such as during hot weather, can be made.

Will this help with Legionella?

Yes. Using Probio within your water installation will allow you to control the potential growth of the Legionella bacteria.

Where can I use Probio?

You can use our biocide range in any type of industrial or residential water installation. It should not be used in drinking water, washing water, or bathing water. This means that you should not use it in a swimming pool or
stored water that is for a shower or bath. It can be used with all types of water that is used within industrial areas, such as spray booths, degreasing or pre-treatment tanks, cooling circuits, and many other uses.
