The
Science
We are pretty sure that because of the hype, quite a few people now know what HYPOCHLOROUS ACID is. For those who don't...read on to learn more.
Either way we are sure you will agree that it is an exciting product.
We are excited to be a part of the worldwide HOCl movement!

Electro-Chemical Activation
HOCl was first identified over 150 years ago. it was difficult to study since it rapidly deactivated and converted to a simple salty byproduct. Advances in technology have enabled us to manufacture stable and highly potent HOCl through a process called Electro-Chemical Activation (ECA)

HOCl (Hypochlorous Acid), is naturally produced in our bodies by our white blood cells to fight off pathogens. These white blood cells are called neutrophils, they make up approximately 55% of the white blood cells in our bodies.
1(a). A rapidly moving neutrophil can be seen taking up several conidia
Neutrophils phagocytose or "ingest" bacteria. The neutrophil then releases enzymes, which after some processes convert to HOCl.
HOCl is a powerful bactericide. It oxidizes proteins and the thin walls of pathogens are no match! HOCl causes these cells to burst and die. Viruses can't mutate.
Advanced
ECA
Technology
-
Softened Water & Brine (made of salt) are pumped into the cell.
-
HOCl (Anolyte) and Sodium Hydroxide (Catholyte) are the result.
-
BOTH output solutions are useful and harmless to our environment.
