RE: Re: Electrolyzed Water

[Guest guest]

Jeffery,

My experience and view differ First of all, electrolysis water or known as

ECI or anolyte, has different chemistry.

Lab and field test result show it is one of the best biocides in the market

and its ORP when freshly made is around 1200. While bleach mixed with water

is only around 100. It is also sporacidal.

It does not have the strong chlorine smell when applied and does not stay in

the environment due to its low dose.

Re: Electrolyzed Water

Carl,

The chemistry works: electrolysis of salt water can produce HOCl and free

chlorine. The concentration they are talking about is about 40-60ppm free

chlorine in water. For reference, I believe tap water is about .2 ppm and

pool water is about 2 ppm.

But why spend so much money on a machine when you can just add some bleach

to water? (I suppose it's greener than using mercury to manufacture

hypochlorite by electrolysis but this process still uses electricity that

has to be generated by fuel combustion.)
