Sales Training Bromine is a chemical element with symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is the third-lightest halogen, and is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly colored gas. Its properties are thus intermediate between those of chlorine and iodine. Isolated independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig (in 1825) and Antoine Jérôme Balard (in 1826), its name was derived from the Ancient Greek βρῶμος "stench", referencing its sharp and disagreeable smell. Biocides can be added to other materials (typically liquids) to protect them against biological infestation and growth. For example, certain types of quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) are added to pool water or industrial water systems to act as an algicide, protecting the water from infestation and growth of algae. It is often impractical to store and use poisonous chlorine gas for water treatment, so alternative methods of adding chlorine are used. These include hypochlorite solutions, which gradually release chlorine into the water, and compounds like sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione (dihydrate or anhydrous), sometimes referred to as "dichlor", and trichloro-s-triazinetrione, sometimes referred to as "trichlor". These compounds are stable while solids and may be used in powdered, granular, or tablet form.

Sales Training A biocide is defined in the European legislation as a chemical substance or microorganism intended to destroy, deter, render harmless, or exert a controlling effect on any harmful organism by chemical or biological means. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses a slightly different definition for biocides as "a diverse group of poisonous substances including preservatives, insecticides, disinfectants, and pesticides used for the control of organisms that are harmful to human or animal health or that cause damage to natural or manufactured products". When compared, the two definitions roughly imply the same, although the US EPA definition includes plant protection products and some veterinary medicines. The terms "biocides" and "pesticides" are regularly interchanged, and often confused with "plant protection products". To clarify this, pesticides include both biocides and plant protection products, where the former regards substances for non-food and feed purposes and the latter regards substances for food and feed purposes. When discussing biocides a distinction should be made between the biocidal active substance and the biocidal product. The biocidal active substances are mostly chemical compounds, but can also be microorganisms (e.g. bacteria). Biocidal products contain one or more biocidal active substances and may contain other non-active co-formulants that ensure the effectiveness as well as the desired pH, viscosity, color, odor, etc. of the final product.

Sales Training Legionnaires' disease is a form of atypical pneumonia caused by any type of Legionella bacteria. Signs and symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, high fever, muscle pains, and headaches. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. This often begins two to ten days after being exposed.[3] The bacterium is found naturally in fresh water. It can contaminate hot water tanks, hot tubs, and cooling towers of large air conditioners. It is usually spread by breathing in mist that contains the bacteria. It can also occur when contaminated water is aspirated. It typically does not spread directly between people and most people who are exposed do not become infected. Risk factors for infection include older age, history of smoking, chronic lung disease, and poor immune function. It is recommended that those with severe pneumonia and those with pneumonia and a recent travel history be tested for the disease. Diagnosis is by a urinary antigen test and sputum culture. Legionnaires' disease acquired its name in July 1976, when an outbreak of pneumonia occurred among people attending a convention of the American Legion at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia. Of the 182 reported cases, mostly men, 29 died. On January 18, 1977, the causative agent was identified as a previously unknown strain of bacteria, subsequently named Legionella, and the species that caused the outbreak was named Legionella pneumophila.

Sales Training Getting started, Information you will need to know to sell and quote: (or see on-line form located on product page for more information) Need to know: Size (Pounds of Chemical Addition) Temperature Pressure Options (IE: pleated filters, valve packages, etc. see pricing for details) Or Manufacturer and Model we are bidding against.

Sales Training Model Number: BR 20 - HP/VPBR-PF203 Once we have the needed information, let’s work on a model number. Base Model: BR = All PVC Bromine Feeder Size (Pounds of Bromine): 20 Pound 40 Pound * Custom sizes are available upon request.

Sales Training Model Number: BR 20 - HP/VPBR-PF203 Closure Style: Standard (Union Closure) has no nomenclature Rated: 70PSI @ 85F and comes standard with air release valve built in. “HP” is a bolted lid. Rated 100PSI @ 85F and comes standard with air release valve built in. Options: VPBR = PVC Valve Package PG100P = PVC Isolated 100PSI Pressure Gauge FCxxP = PVC Flow Control Valve. 3 & 5 GPM FI10 = Flow Indicator, 10GPM TS80M = 80 Mesh (100Micron) Bowl Strainer

Receiving & Inspection Upon receipt of order, inspect package thoroughly. In the event there was damage incurred in transit you must notify the freight company within 3-5 days of receipt of order. Once system is inspected for damage and received in good condition, and store indoors in safe place until installing. Damaged incurred before installation is not covered under warranty. Union Style Closure 40 Pound Vessel “HP” Style Closure 20 Pound Vessel

Installation & Operation Before you get started… All fasteners and fitting should be properly inspected and secured before operation as they may be loosened in transit Personnel safety practices should apply at all times Safety glasses or face shields and gloves should be worn Do not service glycol feed package with out disconnecting power Close isolation valve and release pressure before servicing any components on the system All liquids in system should be drained before servicing Glycol feed package should be installed by qualified personnel.

Installation & Operation LOCATION AND ENVIROMENT Although there is no power requirements, bromine feeders should not be exposed to direct elements. In the case there is no dry location that is convenient to install the bromine feeder. A shelter, awning or shed should to be installed to extend product life. INSTALLATION Once location is decided on, bromine feeder needs to be securely mounted. Be sure that feeders are strapped or bolted to secure surface and comply with local building codes. In accordance, outlet piping should be supported within 12 inches of feeder. System vibrations should be minimal.

Installation & Operation CONNECTING TO THE SYSTEM Bromine Feeder flow rate (In GPM) shall not exceed volume of feeder (In Gallons). Flow rates in excess of feeder volume, (one gallon feeder flow rate should be 1GPM) dramatically reduces feeder life. Flow control valves should be installed on discharge side of feeder. All GTP feeder pressure and temperature limitations are designated on product label. Be sure the feeder meets or exceeds your systems requirements. GTP suggests the installation of air release valve, if not already supplied. Bromine feeder body will have molded in flow arrow for direction.

Installation & Operation LID REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (Bromine Feeder) Inspect O-ring for wear and proper alignment in groove on bottom of feeder lid. Inspect sealing edge of bromine body, be sure that it is free from defects. A smooth surface will ensure lid seal. Screw lid down and turn until tight. Bromine lid seals at O-ring not at the threads. Do Not Over Tighten!

Maintenance ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance in this section is referred to as checking a feeder once a month until a maintenance schedule can be determined. All fasteners should be check for proper alignment & operations. Maintenance and care will depend upon the usage and environment in which the feeder is subject to.
