Facts that speak for us
With the biostream® concentrates based on chlorine dioxide, you reliably disinfect drinking water tanks, water-carrying pipes and soda maker bottles, with the active substance used by waterworks, without costly plant technology.
The active substance chlorine dioxide has been used to disinfect drinking water in waterworks since the mid-1950s. Waterworks use elaborate and expensive plant technology that is no longer necessary. Produce effective chlorine dioxide yourself, quite simply, and benefit from its efficacy against E. coli, pseudomonads and Legionella.
Disinfect drinking water pipes, dispensing systems and tanks in motorhomes, camping vehicles and on boats and yachts. Drinking water and process water of drinking water quality for industry and commerce can also be disinfected with the concentrates of biostream® GmbH. The products are also suitable for disinfecting drinking water in times of crisis, for emergency preparedness for blackouts, power cuts and other disaster situations.
Hydrogen peroxide and silver on the list under Section 20 of the Drinking Water Ordinance
The biostream® products ZERO and asepticaPRO comply with DIN 2001-2:2009-04 (drinking water supply from small and non-stationary installations) and are effective across the entire drinking water pH range. Hydrogen peroxide is not named as a disinfectant in the DIN standard. In the current UBA list of the German Environment Agency, too, it is listed exclusively as an oxidising agent.
Hydrogen peroxide is on the German Environment Agency's list under Section 20 of the Drinking Water Ordinance only for oxidation, not for disinfection; for disinfecting installations, DVGW code of practice W 291 gives 150 mg/l hydrogen peroxide compared with 6 mg/l chlorine dioxide. In DIN 2001-2, silver is named only as a preservative, not as a disinfectant. The DIN standard notes: "Only in the exceptional case of storing drinking water without consumption over a longer period. Preservation does not replace a necessary disinfection of drinking water that is not in perfect condition."
