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.
Trustwater on-site generating systems produce extremely effective, fastacting, broad-spectrum disinfectant solutions. Trustwater™ is a combination of mixed oxidants, primarily Hypochlorous Acid, in an activated form and at
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.
Trustwater™:
· Destroys all forms of pathogens, including stubborn biofilm · Produces on-site, on demand · Replaces ClO2, Chlorine, Ozone, etc.

The building‘s management approached

problem. The key objective was to eliminate contamination within the system and to provide residual prevention from both biofilm and Legionella growth.
Solution:
A.C. Shore and R.J. Russell
for a solution to this Legionella Prevention and Control:
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.
Conclusion:
The hospital‘s water has proven to be free from Legionella and biofilm. The hospital no longer employs chemical treatment companies to perform superchlorination twice-yearly. The building‘s management have peace of mind in

Trustwater™ is convenient
How does Trustwater™ differ from traditional water treatments and what are its advantages?
· 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
· It is effective even at low doses
· Eliminate the use of costly toxic chemicals
· It does not form toxic chloramines
· Decreases labour requirements and labour costs
· It does not form toxic trihalomethanes
· Using our TÜV certified, patented technology, Trustwater™ systems produce disinfectant solutions reliably, all of the time
· 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
Trustwater™ solutions are safe
· It is an efficient oxidant and disinfectant for not only bacteria and viruses but all types of microorganisms, including protozoan
Safe for users:
cysts (Cryptosporidium)
· No health and safety risks · No eye or skin irritation
· It prevents and removes biofilm
· Non-toxic, non-hazardous
· It is very effective against Legionella
· No additional protective equipment required · No exposure limits
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.
