- Mixing Instructions
- Test pH and alkalinity of incoming water.
- Identify target pH (for general acidification or chlorine optimization).
- Determine LS-PWT2® dosage from Recommended Usage Rate Chart.
- Add LS-PWT2® dosage to four gallons (15 liters) of water to create stock solution. Dissolve thoroughly. Mixing in larger quantities will help avoid interruption in continuous administration.
- Administer stock solution at a rate of 1:128.

- LS-PWT2® APPLICATION PROCEDURES
For optimal performance of LS-PWT2 and to gain the maximum health and performance benefits for birds, the following application procedures are recommended.
When chlorinating drinking water, administer LS-PWT2® continuously at a rate necessary to maintain water pH around 6.0 at bird level. NEVER ADD CHLORINE DIRECTLY INTO THE LS-PWT2® STOCK SOLUTION

Technical Details & Test Data
- GENERAL ACIDIFICATION USE WITH LS-PWT2®
Refer to the front of the sheet to determine the stock solution strength required to achieve a pH of 4.0. Mix the required amount of LS-PWT2® into 4 gallons of water to make a stock solution. Administer the stock solution at a rate of 1:128.

Antibiotic-Free Production
- For antibiotic-free production, water acidification using an inorganic mineral acid such as LS-PWT2® is recommended to reduce crop pH to 4.0 from 0-21 days, or in the first week and then 3-4 days around the time of each feed change. Intermittent applications should be considered for 72-96 hours during stress periods and the last 48 hours prior to movement. An inorganic acid will not affect the taste profile of water, allowing birds to maintain optimal consumption levels. See your Jones-Hamilton representative for help creating an effective water acidification program.
- WATER LINE CLEANING AND SANITATION
In Between Flocks: When cleaning between flocks, mix 2-4 scoops of LS-PWT2® with 4 gallons of water to make a stock solution. Note: Extremely “hard”water may require higher amounts of LS-PWT2® to reach the desired pH level. Deliver one ounce of stock solution per one gallon of water (1:128). Allow a minimum of 8 hours for cleaning and descaling, but do not exceed 24 hours with cleaning solution in water lines. Flush drinking system thoroughly with clean water.
During the Flock: Run 1-2 scoops of LS-PWT2® through drinking system to clean water lines after administering other water additives such as sugar, vitamins, or powdered milk.
