46 -- CONTINUOUS DISINFECTION SYSTEM FOR HAND PUMP WELLS DUE 083198 POC Forest Facilities Engineer Steven Ray, (770) 536-0541. The Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest is seeking sources for continuous disinfection systems suitable for use on hand pump wells serving as small public water systems. Treatment systems must be certified for use with potable water, comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act and other applicable federal regulations, and comply with State of Georgia drinking water regulations. Disinfection using chlorine is the preferred method. Treatment systems must operate without commercial power; systems requiring no electrical power source at all are preferred A system which operates solely on the hydraulic pressure provided by pumping the handle of the hand pump is most preferable. The system must be capable of maintaining a constant disinfection residual in the treated water without regular adjustment. During use, a hand pump typically has intermittent flows of up to three gallons per minute. Required disinfection contact time can be provided separately from the treatment system by a small closed storage tank installed in the piping system.
