8.3 water sanitation and system clean out
A regular water sanitation and water line cleaning program can provide protection against microbial contamination and the build –up of slimy bio-films in water lines. While bio-films may not be a source of problem to birds, once established in water lines, bio-films provide a place for more detrimental bacteria and viruses to hide from disinfectants and also act as a food source for harmful bacteria. Products which contain hydrogen peroxide have proven to be outstanding for the removal of bio-films in water lines.
