Re: What problem can you solve with 3 million 4 inch balls?

Hey Odd. I don't understand the problem that's being solved here. Where is the bromide and where is the chlorine?

Re: What problem can you solve with 3 million 4 inch balls?

Bromate is photoproduced by the chlorine added to this potable water and the natural bromine in the water. Without light of sufficiently short wavelength, no bromate will be produced. The balls block the light.

Re: What problem can you solve with 3 million 4 inch balls?

Bromate is also formed in electrochemical processes, such as formation of hypochlorite ion used in municipal water processes, when bromide ion is present. Additionally bromate ion is produced when chlorine dioxide is used in water, the bromide ion is present, and the water is exposed to sunlight.

This reaction occurs in water systems where bromide is dissolved in water and ozone is used to disinfect the water, especially under high pressures. This reaction is undesirable because bromate is a suspected carcinogen

Hey, thanks. I wasn't thinking that there was chlorine added to the water in the reservoir, but of course there is to control the spread of algae.

Still looks like a pretty unique way to control the problem.

Thats very interesting...a unique out look and very creative way to solve a problem. We need more solutions like this!!!

whats point ?

shut up junaid !

Re: What problem can you solve with 3 million 4 inch balls?

That was quite uncalled for. It's a pretty clever idea actually, but I can imagine it becoming one Hell of a mess to clean up if the reservoir clogs up, overflows, and the black balls wind up all over town.

Reminds me of when I loved playpen ball pools, those were the days. Yup.
