Full Description

This paper details recent research into Cryptosporidium, virus and bacteria inactivation which compares inactivation rates to both chlorine residuals and redox potentials. It is apparent from these studies that redox potentials offer a much more consistent method for predicting the results of an oxidant treatment program than do chlorine residuals. This is particularly crucial in an era when human immunity to disease is weakened in a growing segment of the population.
