How does Waterguard kill bacteria & viruses?
When water percolates through health cartridge, it carries an optimum dose of iodine which possesses appreciable germicidal properties against bacteria and viruses. Iodine is a strong oxidizing agent and this fact is accounted for its action. Oxidizing agent causes irreparable damage to essential metabolic compounds of microbes. Disinfection depends upon the dose of disinfectant & exposure time. The dose and time is regulated by the system flow rate. The slower the flow, the better it is for purification. Waterguard has been designed to deliver an optimum flow of 20-24 min. per litre.
