What is the purpose of calcium hypochlorite granules?

Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic compound that is added to water in granular or tablet form to kill bacteria that can make people sick. When used properly, this compound can destroy bacteria that can cause many health problems. 

To prevent outbreaks of waterborne diseases, water suppliers to public water systems in many places disinfect all new or repaired water pipes. Calcium hypochlorite granules should be used to disinfect new water pipes before they are put into use.

Disinfecting New Water Pipes with Calcium Hypochlorite Granules

Disinfection with calcium hypochlorite is a relatively simple and cost-effective process that does not require a lot of technical expertise. It can be used to treat water systems of different sizes by changing the dosing system or chemical contact storage. Calcium hypochlorite granules are a powerful disinfectant; it kills nearly 99.9% of all germs (bacteria, viruses, and molds) and makes the water flowing through drinking water pipes clean and healthy.
