THE BASICS..
The Technology
• Electro Chemical Activation (ECA) is the process used to
generate liquid biocides known as Electrolyzed Fluid (Elixir)
– Elixir is non-toxic, pH neutral and has an
extended shelf life.
• “Electrolyzed Fluid” – is water that has had an electric
current passed through it, thereby generating a number of
oxidized species. This is an electrochemical (or oxidationreduction) process. Specifically, it is an electrolysis process.

Elixir is generated by ElectroChemical Activation of a dilute NaCI (brine) solution
passing through an electrolytic cell.
ECA technology utilizes Electrolytic Cells where the anode chamber is separated
by an unidirectional permeable membrane from the cathode chamber. The
Electrolytic Cell allows migration of ions through the membranes and separation
of such ions and prevention of production of high levels of Hypochlorous Acid.
The ECA electrolysis process is one in which positive and negative electrodes are
submerged in a solution containing positive and negative ions.
Positive ions (cations) are drawn towards the negative electrode, where they
receive electrons from the electron-rich cathode and neutral atoms or molecules
are formed.
At the anode (positive electrode) negative ions (anions) are attracted, which give
up their additional electrons to the electron-depleted anode.

The Properties of Elixir
pH neutral, Non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-irritant, non-odorous,
non-corrosive
Completely safe for human contact – mimics immune systems natural
defenses to kill infectious pathogens
The Elixir will destroy all forms of micro-organisms – even those that
are normally extremely difficult to kill and have high levels of
resistance to chemical attack – such as pathogenic bacteria including
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium
difficile (C.Diff), cysts such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia , protozoa,
spoors such as anthrax and Legionella, viruses such as avian flu, and
fungi.
Destroys biofilm – the environment on the internal surfaces of water
pipes in which micro-organisms propagate
Relaxes after time to original constituents of dilute brine solution
No microbial resistance or mutation, Effective at very low
concentrations, Ready to use.
Multi-use applications – water treatment, surface cleaning, specialist
cleaning, wound care
Another commonly used methods revolved around Elixir is the ability
to kill spores of Bacillus subtilis, a bacterium known to be amongst the
most resilient to chlorine.

Biocidal Efficacy
Microbial efficacy is normally measured by a suspension test on
Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus epidermidis
Enterococcus hirae
Escherichia coli
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Bacillus subtilis
Based on all bactericidal, fungicidal and sporicidal testing performed it can be stated that
all the microbial testing requirements for Elixir have been met or exceeded. Contact times
to achieve complete destruction of cells and infectious capacity were significantly reduced
in comparison with other biocides. All tests done by FICCI Research and analysis centre
New Delhi.

SWIMMING POOLS, SPA’S, WATER RESORT WATER
DISINFECTION
Water for leisure use in swimming pools, water parks and spas needs careful control, balancing and
monitoring to meet the requirements of the operators and the expectations of users. The ideal pool
and spa water has to be:
•crystal clear and sparkling
•completely free of any chemical and microbial contaminants including cysts
•odour free and leaving no residual skin odour
•leave no sensation of stinging eyes or skin
•a totally natural, safe experience free from any evidence of chemical application.
•For the operator of any commercial pool, water park or spa, the ideal water treatment technology is
one where:
•The users recognise the outstanding quality of the water and the absence of chemical taint
•Public liability is minimised as there are no hazardous chemicals in use and the microbial kill is total
•The maintenance and management of the water is dramatically simplified and made non-hazardous
•The critical water quality parameters of pH, calcium, bromine and FAOx are easily managed
•Super-chlorination routines are eliminated
•Pool cleaning routines are reduced as fatty deposit tide lines are eliminated
•Make-up water is reduced
•Rapid and safe response to contamination incidents
Giardia & Cryptosporidium
Giardia and Cryptosporidium are microscopic parasites that can be found in water. Giardia
causes an intestinal illness called giardiasis and Cryptosporidium is responsible for a similar
illness called cryptosporidiosis. Both parasites produce cysts that are very resistant to harsh
environmental conditions and the majority of disinfectants including sodium hypochlorite and
chlorine. When ingested, they germinate, reproduce, and cause illness. While not fatal, the
principle symptoms of infection are unpleasant and include diarrhoea, vomiting, chills,
headache, and fever and abdominal cramps.
The control of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in public and commercial swimming pools and spas
is a major issue especially in facilities where there is a high usage by young children and
populations from different origins.
In addition, the potentially fatal Legionnaires' disease, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Mycobacterium avium and similar mycobacteria, and various amoebae also pose risks to users
of public water facilities and potential liabilities to operators.
