AHP VS. BIOCIDE PLUS A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE USING AHP PRODUCTS LIKE RESCUE VS. BIOCIDE PLUS Revised 4/21/20
RESCUES CONFUSING DILUTION RATES Recommended Dilution Rate: 2 ounces per gallon viricidal From the Rescue Reference Sheet Data: 1) 5 Minutes @ 1:16 Dilution: Bactericidal, Fungicidal 2) 5 Minutes @ 1:16 to 1:64: *Virucidal 3) 3 Minutes @ 1:128 Dilution: Broad Spectrum Non-Food Contact Surface Sanitizer Unless you need to disinfect for parvovirus, then 4 oz per gallon Did you need to disinfect against Bordetella or kennel cough? Those are bacterial organisms which require a higher dilution rate. Just 8 ounces per gallon, 4 times as much as originally recommended.
1 2 3 What pet resort, veterinary clinic, or animal shelter would want to use a viricide ratio but not a bacterial one? To properly disinfect your facility, Rescue needs to be used at 8 ounces per gallon for 10 minutes (read their reference sheet under what they consider high risk quarantine cleaning) With Biocide Plus, you have two dilution rates: one ounce per gallon as a bacterialcide and viricide; 4.5 ounces per gallon for parvovirus CONFUSING DILUTION RATES
CONTACT TIMES FOR CONCENTRATES Rescue AHP Concentrate has many contact times for different organisms. But according to their reference sheet, for the most broad- spectrum, deep cleaning purposes, a contact time of 10 minutes is recommended. Conclusion: contact times cannot be determined by guessing which organisms a facility may be exposed to. It is essential to disinfect against the most broad- range possible EVERY TIME. Biocide plus is straight forward with a 10 minute contact time.
EFFECTIVENESS IN HARD WATER BIOCIDE PLUS RESCUE (AHP) EFFECTIVE IN HARD WATER UP TO 200 PPM HARDNESS EFFECTIVE IN HARD WATER UP TO 400 PPM HARDNESS WHY THIS MATTERS: Many cities across America have water hardness over 200ppm. Other situations can cause hard water locally. Over 200ppm water harness can lead to ineffectiveness of Rescue (AHP).
