What else, besides chlorine, will safely disinfect drinking water?
Many methods can be used to disinfect water including boiling for three to five minutes, UV irradiation, and ozonation. The problem with all of these methods is the lack of residual. It is necessary to disinfect the water just before it is consumed or sealed in a sterile container. This is why the prudent consumer will install a Tru-Pure system at the point of use (POU) and keep the system working properly. (Back to Top…) 9. Are there organisms that are resistant to chlorine? Yes. In 1998, in Milwaukee, an outbreak of cryptosporidium sickened thousands, hospitalized hundreds and killed dozens. That city upgraded to an ozone and chlorine dioxide system, at great cost, to ensure the health and safety of their citizens. As time goes on, other cities will follow but you can protect your family now by installing your own Tru-Pure under sink or countertop ozone system. Ozone will not only sterilize your water up to 2000 times faster than chlorine but will oxidize other contaminates as well
