Instructions for Introducing Basement
Wash-Dog™ into Your Sump System for Mitigation of Iron Ochre and other
Deposits
WARNING
If you have introduced any other chemicals or products into your sump
system, you must thoroughly flush the system and introduce clean water before
adding Basement Wash-Dog™. Not doing so could create dangerous off gassing
(chemical reaction).
- Temporarily turn off your sump and backup pump. This allows the pit to fill without pumping out water. While the pumps are off, keep an eye on the water level to make sure the pit does not overflow.
- Drop tablets into sump pit, start with 5 tablets. Every house is different and you will learn how much you need to clear your problem over time. Use as needed.
- If your pit doesn’t fill on its own, fill the pit with water, either by allowing groundwater to rise or by introducing water via a garden hose or other meansIf possible, circulate Wash-Dog™ solution down the drain tile, allowing it to clear the tile and keep water flowing.
- Allow product to saturate. The longer you allow saturation, the more effective the product will be. As the product cleanses, you may see foaming. Reaction times will vary and soaking longer will improve results.
- The product is strong enough to continue cleaning for up to 24 hours; however, most people will see noticeable improvement quickly. Once you are satisfied with the degree of cleaning, plug the primary sump pump back into AC power and empty water from drain tile and pit.
- Rinse pit and pump with fresh water and run pump through multiple cycles to dilute the discharged Basement Wash-Dog™ solution.
- The cleaning process will need to be repeated periodically. Reapplication frequency will vary depending on the severity of the iron ochre issue in your sump system.
