Hydrogen Peroxide provides the free oxygen that kills all anaerobic bacteria. They are literally poisoned by it. Because we deliver small amounts throughout the day year round, your well is kept clean and free of these bacteria. It is non-toxic and does not corrode metals.

Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizing agent, more powerful than chlorine and potassium permanganate. It is relatively safe and decomposes into oxygen and water. It won’t form carcinogenic disinfection by-products, such as tri-halomethanes (THMs), the way chlorine does. In low concentrations, it has no odour and is non-inflammable.

Care must be taken when handling concentrated (35%) H₂0₂. We use a special chemical pump to inject the concentrated hydrogen peroxide right from the drum. Other types of pumps will make the H₂0₂ “gas out”, causing the pump to lose its prime. You never have to touch the system. We will replace the carboy of peroxide when needed.

H₂0₂ has roughly a 28% faster reaction time than chlorine. Because Advanced Water Treatment injects into the well, the column of water acts as a mixing reservoir before water even enters the house. That’s why large mixing or holding tanks are unnecessary.
