I cannot see the purpose of this because the moment you have a clean surface the bacteria that are present still will set about creating a new polysaccharide compound with which to attach themselves to the surface. In our experience in plant nursery, drinking water distribution systems, industrial ice making plants and cooling towers etc we treat with our chlorine dioxide product (Alphasan) added to the water. It depends on the severity of the problem as to the method we utilise. We can do a 12 hour soak at a specified ORP level and then flush the lines to waste with all the dead bacteria and biofilm, and then continue with a lower ORP maintenance dose to prevent any return of the biofilm.
