Pretty typical on military projects. They usually give a ppm (parts per million) concentration. You can do it with diluted bleach or pool chlorine.

I think he is talking about the typical fire protection spec section by folks 
that are not familiar with fire protection system that require disinfection. 
Same section as the requirement for new systems to be flushed per 13.

No I have never heard of actually doing this.

Has anybody been required to disinfect a sprinkler system? (I have never even 
had to look into it before in 40 years.)

We have a 2 story building with about 300 total heads, most of them pendent on 
drops.

Anybody's thoughts?
