Do innowave systems reduce anthrax and smallpox?
The bacterial, viral, and different chemical sabotage and terrorist threats have not yet been encountered in waters and, thus, have not, of course, been incorporated in Drinking Water Treatment Unit product designs or performance standards including those issued by NSF, the USEPA or the Water Quality Association. Specifically, innowave drinking water treatment unit products have not been tested and certified for their effectiveness in reducing these exotic chemical or biological sabotage agents. However, distillation, UV, and fine filtration units may provide additional protection barriers against many of these agents. For example, anthrax spores are two to six microns in size, similar to protozoan cysts. innowave products tested and certified for their effectiveness in cyst reduction likely would also effectively reduce anthrax. Many biological organisms are inactivated by heat in a POU distillation unit like the innowave270. Similarly, ultraviolet light, as in the innowave UVF, disru
