Magna-Bon Pro-Teck Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the Proper Application Rate of Pro-Teck?

A. The recommended application for cleaning and maintaining irrigation conveyance systems is .25 gallons of Pro-Teck solution per acre. Rates may vary slightly depending on filtration, water source, volume, and degree of current build-up.

Q. How do we test to see if Pro-Teck has reached the proper saturation in our system?

The most accurate method of detecting if the system is completely saturated to the recommended application rate is to use a copper test kit. The injection of Pro-Teck may be stopped when 1 part per million of copper saturation has been achieved. This may be determined by measuring the copper in the water at the furthest point from origination. As always, our staff is available to assist: 800/845-1357.

Q. How long should Pro-Teck stay injected in the system for initial cleaning?

The recommended rates for cleaning and maintaining irrigation conveyance should stay injected in the system for 36 hours. After 6 hours, flush the system with water and reclaim clogged emitters and irrigate normally.

Q. How do I continue to maintain my irrigation conveyance system after the initial use of Pro-Teck?

At the end of normal irrigation, refill the irrigation system with Pro-Teck at the recommended application rates and the system will remain clear and will perform normally at he next irrigation period. However, should the system remain idle for longer than two (2) months, purge the system and re-apply Pro-Teck at the recommended rates prior to use.
