H2O2, COMMONLY KNOWN AS HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, IS A VERY USEFUL CHEMICAL TOOL FOR USE
IN THE TREATMENT OF WATER.

IT IS AN EXCELLENT DISINFECTANT AND OXIDIZER, MUCH LIKE CHLORINE, OZONE AND POTASSIUM
PERMANGANATE AND IT WORKS TWICE AS FAST AS CHLORINE. THIS FASTER ACTION ALLOWS THE
USE OF LESS OF THE CHEMICAL AND SMALLER CHEMICAL PUMPS FOR USE IN DELIVERING THE
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO THE WATER SYSTEM.

ONE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDES ADVANTAGES IS: AS IT BREAKS DOWN, IT FORMS ONLY WATER 
AND OXYGEN. AND, UNLIKE CHLORINE BLEACH, NO CARCINOGENS ARE FORMED AS IT BREAKS 
DOWN.

WHEN YOU COMBINE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE INJECTION WITH A PROPERLY
SIZED BACKWASHING CATALYTIC CARBON FILTER SYSTEM, YOU CAN ENJOY ODOR FREE, DISINFECTED
WATER THROUGH OUT YOUR HOME.
