Chlorine dioxide is less reactive than chlorine or ozone, which means lower concentrations of chlorine dioxide can be used to achieve effective disinfection. It can also be used when large amounts of organic matter are present.
Other advantages include:
- Its bacterial efficiency is unaffected by pH values between 4-10 units
- It has a lower contact time
- It does not react with ammonia
- It has no distinct smell
- It also provides excellent results in the destruction of spores, viruses, bacteria and other pathogens.
