Loretto, Tennessee – October 29, 2026 -- Over-dosing disinfectant wastes chemicals, accelerates equipment wear and can create regulated byproducts, according to Justin McGee of Southeastern Tank, who argues that water treatment operators should manage dosing by precision rather than volume.

Over-dosing creates regulated byproducts and equipment wear

McGee told HelloNation that adding more disinfectant does not automatically improve safety. Excess dosing can form trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids, compounds regulated because of potential health risks. Chemicals added in excess must later be neutralized or flushed from the system, which raises energy and maintenance costs.
