What is chlorine dioxide?

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a highly effective, eco-friendly micro biocide that carries the US EPA, FDA and UK Government approvals for many of its uses. It is a selective oxidant that eliminates many pathogenic organisms including Legionella, Listeria, Salmonella, amoeba cysts, Giardia cysts, E. Coli, and Cryptosporidium. Importantly, CIO2 also destroys biofilms so bacterial re-growth is significantly impeded.

Household and workplace air sanitation has always been considered a key factor in productivity and happiness levels. Unpleasant smells from sinks, carpet stains, bins and Aircon filters have always stood in the way of the ideal clean-smelling home, office or even cars.

Commercial advertisements advocate for a band-aid solution to the nasty smells using air fresheners in the form of sprays, plug-ins and reed diffusers. But did you know your air freshener could potentially cause harm to

Bushfires pose a great risk to drinking water quality in water tanks, water catchment facilities and water supply infrastructure. Generation of large amounts of smoke, ash and debris leads to contamination of water in water tanks and on roof catchment infrastructure like gutters. In extreme cases, it is possible that fire retardants or foams used to control the fire may also be deposited on roof catchment areas.

The ash and debris deposited into drinking water deliver an increased con

Water is an integral part of running machinery in many commercial and industrial applications and the quality of water supply may vary with consequential impacts on plant and machinery. Hard water is a term used to refer to water supplies with higher concentrations of minerals present.

These naturally occurring minerals lead to deposits of calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide and calcium sulphate building up on metallic surfaces, creating what is commonly known as limes

Clean drinking water is something we often take for granted. At the turn of a tap, we have access to chlorinated water for every day use. However, for people who don’t want or can’t access scheme water, there is often a question of how to treat other water sources to make them safe.

Chlorine is the most common water treatment agent. It is used by the Department of Health in Western Australia because it is inexpensive and moderately effective. Fortunately Chlorine is not th
