Did you know that our Watter system cannot only be used for drinking water for your animals and for process water? You can also use the Watter disinfectant for surface disinfection. We would be happy to tell you more about it.

What is surface disinfection?

As the name suggests, surface disinfection is the disinfection of surfaces. Examples are canteen tables, floors, workstations and laboratory tables. Medical instruments also need to be disinfected. Surfaces are often a breeding ground for germs and pathogens. Microorganisms can spread very quickly via contaminated surfaces. A bactericide is used to disinfect surfaces, rooms and materials.

The importance of disinfection

To prevent infectious diseases, good hygiene is important. Disinfecting surfaces ensures that micro-organisms that could be potential pathogens are counteracted. Cleaning on its own will not get you there, as it basically involves removing visible dirt. To the eye, it looks clean, but in reality, the pathogens still remain. We found during the Corona virus that it was very important to disinfect, the same goes for prevention against other viruses.

Adverse harmful chemicals

To disinfect surfaces, many consumers use traditional disinfection methods such as chlorine and alcohol. However, using these agents comes with harmful consequences. Often, a lot of the disinfectant has to be used and safety obligations are required. Agents can be toxic or flammable, with excessive or improper use of these disinfectants posing health risks. These agents often contain substances that are harmful to humans, animals and the environment. For this reason, it is better to choose a sustainable alternative.

WDS: a sustainable disinfectant

The Watter Disinfection Solution is a sustainable disinfectant with HOCl as active ingredient. It requires only water, salt and electricity. It is produced by our Watter system. This is an installation that allows you to produce the disinfectant on site (in-situ). This makes you self-sufficient and no longer dependent on a supplier. You also contribute to a better world without harmful chemicals. As our remedy is not on the hazardous substances list, safety obligations are also a thing of the past.
