<p>A method and a composition for remediating reticulation equipment such as a bore having biocontamination deposits is disclosed. In its most preferred form, the composition is formed by mixing dry solid oxalic acid, a cupric salt such as copper sulphate, and a solid acidic compound such as sodium bisulphate. Proportions of 94%, 2% and 4% respectively are suitable, while avoiding toxicity and contamination problems. After thorough mixing this mixture can be stored in a dry sealed container for future use. In use, the reticulation equipment is dosed with from 3kg to 7kg of mixture per hundred litres of water contained within the reticulation equipment.</p> |
