Facts in our favour: biostream® products convince

With the chlorine dioxide-based biostream® concentrates, you can now reliably disinfect drinking water tanks, drinking water pipes and soda maker bottles. Use the active substance from waterworks without expensive equipment.

The active substance in biostream® products (chlorine dioxide) has been used to disinfect drinking water in waterworks since the mid-1950s. Producing it there requires complex, expensive plant that is no longer needed. Produce effective chlorine dioxide yourself, quite simply, and benefit from its full efficacy against E. coli, Pseudomonas 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. Get in touch with us. Our products are also suitable for disinfecting drinking water in a crisis, for emergency preparedness in the event of a blackout, power cut or other disaster.

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 listed as a disinfectant in the DIN standard. The current UBA list of the German Environment Agency also lists hydrogen peroxide only as an oxidising agent, not as a disinfectant.

In DIN 2001-2, silver is named not as a disinfectant but only as a preservative. The DIN standard also includes the following note on this: "Only in exceptional cases, for the storage of drinking water without use over a longer period. Preservation does not replace disinfection of drinking water that is not in perfect condition, where this is required."
