How to Effectively Clean Water Lines
- Traditional Cleaning Methods:
Reverse flushing with tap water uses the pressure from a tap water pump. Initially, water consumption and medication levels are low, gradually increasing over time. As the production progresses, water lines tend to clog more frequently, requiring frequent and complex cleaning processes. This method can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and may not thoroughly clean the lines.
Brush cleaning involves repeated attempts but may only clean the entire water line superficially. Certain parts of the water lines, such as bottlenecks or nipples, might remain inadequately cleaned. Particularly, situations where some nipples are blocked might not be easily detected, resulting in instances where chickens die of thirst. This method can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Chemical soaking involves using chemicals like sodium dichloroisocyanurate to soak the lines for at least 2 hours and then rinsing out the dirt. However, the soaking solution cannot be used for livestock drinking and requires raising the water lines or cleaning after the lights are off at night.
Sponge ball cleaning is a physical method applicable only for small-scale operations. For larger-scale poultry farms, using this method increases labor costs and requires frequent medication through water.
- Water Line Cleaning Machine:
The Piaopiaowater line cleaning machine breaks away from the traditional disinfection concept of water line cleaning. It is a device for water line cleaning that does not involve adding any chemicals. The machine generates ozone by itself and forms a pulsating wave through alternating water and air, dislodging biofilm and scale in the pipe walls and nipple gaps. Simultaneously, ozone sterilizes and disinfects the pipe walls and nipples.
Advantages of the cleaning machine:
- Fast cleaning speed, completing a house in 50 minutes.
- Prevents water line nipple leakage and clogging.
- Saves at least 1/3 of water compared to reverse flushing.
- Concentrated ozone sterilization in the first minute for simultaneous sterilization and cleaning.
- Thorough cleaning, even in bends of the pipeline.
- Suitable for cleaning poultry at any age.
- Requires no consumables, only water and electricity.
- Simple operation, one-person operation with a single-button design.
- Efficient and energy-saving, capable of cleaning 4-6 water lines at a time.
