The water enhancer category includes a wide range of products designed to improve one or more physical characteristics of water. The manner in which each product accomplishes this affects other characteristics as well. The ease of mixing or blending with water and the ease of removing the product from mixing and application equipment are two characteristics of immediate interest.

To assure that you are getting a product that will fit your needs, read the technical brochures and information carefully and discuss your requirements and applications with other users as well as company representatives. Be sure to get information about mixing requirements, clean up, and stability of the concentrates and of the mixed products.

An end of hose, or at least discharge side of pump, mixing system (eductor or in-line mixer) is preferable for this type of product. When batch mixing is used, all equipment coming into contact with the water enhancers should be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each work day.

• Some of these products contain ingredients that may reduce the effectiveness of other products.
• Ingredients in some products promote rapid bacterial or mold growths in a water solution.
• These products may build up a layer of material that resists removal from mixing and application equipment when cleaning with plain water.
