Guest vin Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Hello all. WHat do they use to keep the places germ free and the odours down. . .my mate says its Iodine or summat like that. ? What do they put down in the yards that stops all the weeds growing between the cracks in the concrete and around the edges etc etc.. I want some for my block paving ..something that kills all forms of fekking life and stops em comeing back...lol. I normally uses Jeyes fluid for cleaning down the yard etc etc..but I costs way too much and after half an hour the nice creasote smell has disapeared..Ive heard they use battles black.But thats quite expensive too..? is there anything you can buy from a supplier thats more concentrated etc etc ? better smelling ?

We use sodium hypochlorite for dosing the potable water, we use for drinking at work to prevent bugs/bacteria.. We also produce it using electrolysis for dosing seawater systems. Bleach contains a weak dose of it about 5% Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 160 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Roundup will only kill growing weeds; it's not a 'pre-emergence' spray and it's not residual. Chickara is the stuff you need. Mixed with Roundup. It's what they use on railway ballast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giro 2,648 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Aye my pals put me on too it.. They said farmers flush there milk pumping systems with it like you it's fairly watered down. Concentrated it's powerful stuff. You must have a interesting job ian.. Only risks of water contamination at my spot is if some kunt pisses in the kettle lol.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Large tanks of water Giro, used for drinking and washing/cooking, if not circulated basically stagnant, bacteria can form. So the sodium hypo is added to prevent growth and keep everyone half healthy. Same for the seawater it prevents the likes of algae,bugs, etc forming in lines, exchangers, etc.. The water comes off supply boats from the mainland, some places make there own water from sea water using reverse osmosis, but they have reliability issues, so there not that common... Anyway sorry to hijack your topic... Roundup is deadly, wiped out my mates full lawn when he tried to kill a few weeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
