Disinfecting and mineral deposit eliminating composition and methods
First Claim
1. A water conduit treating composition comprising a pH of 7.0 or higher and consisting essentially of a first component, a second component and water, wherein the water conduit treating composition is prepared by a process comprising:
- mixing the first component, the second component, and water such that the first and second components are present in amounts sufficient to form a stable liquid composition having a pH of 7.0 or higher,wherein;
the first component is neutralized 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC),the second component is selected from ClO2−
salts and ClO3−
salts, andthe water conduit treating composition does not harm plants when added to a source water.

Abstract
Source water is treated by mixing a first component selected from the group comprising neutralized phosphonic acid compounds, neutralized phosphonate compounds, neutralized derivatives of phosphorus, neutralized anti-scalent polymers, and mixtures thereof, a second component from the group comprising chlorite salt and chlorate salt is admixed to the mixture of the water and the first component, and water. The water and the first and second components are present in amounts sufficient to form a stable liquid composition in which there is substantially no conversion of the second component to chlorine dioxide.
