Water Purification
Chlorination is the most proven, effective and widely used water purification method for water disinfection of water distribution systems, pipelines and water fixtures in both new plumbing and in existing piping and waterworks utilities following service or repair.
Chlorine is a powerful germicide that cleans and sanitizes water pipes and facilities. Required by law, chlorination treatment disinfects to kill the microorganisms and pathogens that can be present in raw water and in the layers of algae and bacteria that build up on the interior walls of water pipes. Pathogens can be transmitted through drinking water distribution systems, causing waterborne illnesses like cholera, dysentery, Legionnaires’ disease, and typhoid in those who consume it. Chlorination treatment prevents the outbreak and spread of waterborne disease and ensures water quality that is safe for public consumption.
