- Hydrogen peroxide (“H2O2”) is a powerful oxidizing effective agent, and works best to remove odors in water along with iron, manganese, bacteria leaving NO salts, metals or chemical residue behind.
- Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen and water leaving no trace of chemical residues (like chlorine). For problem well water containing high levels of “rotten-egg” sulfur odor “H2S” (hydrogen sulfide gas) hydrogen peroxide systems are an excellent choice.
- When peroxide is added to water a large amount of dissolved oxygen is released and a powerful oxidizing effect occurs.
- Unlike chlorine (which is either sodium hypochlorite, or calcium hypochlorite) peroxide leaves no salts, metals or chemical residuals. The only disadvantage is that it costs a little more than chlorine bleach.
- For many applications no contact tank is required, and the hydrogen peroxide is effectively removed by the catalytic carbon media.
- Note for high levels of iron over 2.0 PPM, we recommend a Titan iron filter AFTER the catalytic carbon system.
Properties of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide holds an advantage over chlorine as a well water disinfectant due to its chemical makeup.
It disinfects through oxidation, splitting into oxygen and water. In the case of well water treatment, there is
often bacteria that cannot be eliminated by chlorine. It’s as effective as chlorine is as a disinfecting agent,
and it's most effective in reducing the odors from sulfur, iron bacteria, iron and manganese.
