What we treat

Lead and copper

Orthophosphate programs that help systems meet corrosion-control requirements.

Red water and iron

Sequestering chemistry for iron, manganese, and colored water.

Scale and hardness

Polyphosphate stabilization for high-hardness distribution systems.

Disinfection support

Chloramination, hypochlorite, and dechlorination products certified for potable use.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certified

Mid South Chemical's potable products are certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 for use in drinking water. Certification covers health-effects evaluation of treatment chemicals added to water intended for human consumption. We manufacture and blend at our Louisiana plant to listed max-use levels. Always follow the NSF listing, SDS, and local regulations.

Note: Max-use levels below are NSF limits in finished drinking water, not a dose recommendation.

Built with the plant, not just the catalog

Water analysis, product selection, dose optimization, and technical support from our lab and plant.

Custom blends, packaging, and private label when a stock formula isn't the right fit.
