Trustwater™ - safe and effective water disinfection at last

· Legionella prevention in water systems and cooling towers

· Biofilm removal and prevention

· Pharmaceutical process water treatment

· Municipal drinking water disinfection

· Food industry and industrial process water treatment

· Dental unit waterline disinfection

· Oil and gas frac water treatment

and many more …

Trustwater™ on-site generating systems produce extremely effective, fast-

acting, broad-spectrum disinfectant solutions. Trustwater™ is a combination

of mixed oxidants, primarily Hypochlorous Acid, in an activated form and at

a neutral pH. These are the very same compounds produced by the human

immune system as our natural defence against infection. As such, Trustwater™

solutions are safe to man and the environment, yet many more times effective

than conventional water disinfection means.

· Destroys all forms of pathogens, including stubborn biofilm

· Produces on-site, on demand

· Replaces ClO2, Chlorine, Ozone, etc.

· Offers significant cost savings

· is Non Toxic, a true “clean” technology, harmless to man and the environment

Our technology has proven successful in hundreds of water treatment instal-

lations across Europe, where it is used as the primary disinfectant means in

a variety of water applications such as cooling water, potable water, dental

waterlines, municipal water supplies, and many more.

Phenol Challenges: Trustwater™ has proven to be up to 100 times more effective than sodium

hypochlorite. No technology more effectively removes stubborn biofilm from

pipework, with lasting effects. Trustwater™ is effective against pathogens

such as P.aeruginosa, E.coli and Legionella species and destroys difficult to kill

micobes such as Cryptosporidium.

A hospital carried out a Legionella risk assessment to comply with L8 Legionella

prevention. Legionella was detected in the building‘s hot water system, high-

lighting that patients were at risk of contracting Legionnaires disease from the

hospital‘s showers. Additionally, it was noted that the previous bi-annual

cleaning of the building‘s water system with hazardous chemicals was both

ineffective and a health and safety risk. The building‘s management determined

that an alternative, safe, on-going treatment method needed to be found.

The building‘s management approached Trustwater™ for a solution to this

problem. The key objective was to eliminate contamination within the system

and to provide residual prevention from both biofilm and Legionella growth.

Having evaluated the requirement, Trustwater™ installed a fully automated

on-site generating system along with auxiliary dosing and real-time monitoring

equipment. Trustwater™ solutions were dosed into the building‘s waterline at

the point of entry. The automated system maintains a residual at the required

level within the entire building‘s water system and delivers real-time monitoring

data to the building‘s management system.

The hospital‘s water has proven to be free from Legionella and biofilm. The

hospital no longer employs chemical treatment companies to perform super-

chlorination twice-yearly. The building‘s management have peace of mind in

the knowledge that biofilm and associated Legionella are not present in their

system. Additionally the building‘s management no longer have to tolerate

the risk of chlorine poisoning associated with periodic chlorine shock-dosing.

Trustwater™ is a dilute solution of nascent oxidants with a redox potential of

up to 1100mV. This potential makes Trustwater™ the most effective broad

spectrum biocide available. Additionally, microbes are unable to develop

resistance to Trustwater™, making it a sustainable, long term disinfection option.

How does Trustwater™ differ from traditional water treatments

and what are its advantages?

· It is effective even at low doses

· It does not form toxic chloramines

· It does not form toxic trihalomethanes

· It does not form toxic bromates and bromorganic by-products

in the presence of bromates

· It can destroy phenols a source of disagreeable taste and

odour in many water sources

· It is an efficient oxidant and disinfectant for not only bacteria

and viruses but all types of microorganisms, including protozoan

cysts (Cryptosporidium)

· It prevents and removes biofilm

· It is very effective against Legionella

Trustwater™ is convenient

· An on-site generator allows you to produce solution on demand

· Produces quantities to suit all requirements

· Only applied where required, reducing wastage

· Allows for the disinfection of areas where toxic chemicals are forbidden

· Eliminate the use of costly toxic chemicals

· Decreases labour requirements and labour costs

· Using our TÜV certified, patented technology, Trustwater™ systems produce

disinfectant solutions reliably, all of the time

Trustwater™ solutions are safe

· No health and safety risks

· No eye or skin irritation

· Non-toxic, non-hazardous

· No additional protective equipment required

· No exposure limits

· Produced and applied directly from a validated system

· No disposal precautions

· Provides opportunity to reduce water usage
