The brand owner and trade distributor of Aqua Dosa has signed a professional distribution agreement for the high strength version of the sanitisation solution.

According to Aqua Cure, the hydrogen peroxide based product is ideal for the water cooler industry, especially given its approval for use in public water supplies and Green Apple environmental award.

The company is now planning to offer selected trade clients the solution at a 10% concentration in a 10 litre drum, instead of the standard concentration which is supplied in a 5 litre drum.

The main differences between this and many other similar products are its stabiliser and activator capabilities. A very small concentration of colloidal silver is blended, but only activates the hydrogen peroxide when it is exposed to anything that shouldn’t be there, such as bugs or organic material. After all of the organic material has been oxidised, the substance returns to its role as a stabiliser for any remaining and non-reacted hydrogen peroxide in the lines, tank or systems being treated.

In order to qualify for the product, Aqua Cure will request that any applying trader initially opts for the user pack, which explains how to handle the high strength solution.

By measuring and introducing the correct amount, not only can the solution be administered quickly, it is also a much more cost effective means of purchasing, in both concentrated and bulk format.

Once standard documentation from Aqua Cure’s technical department has been received and signed for, product supply can be discussed, along with the best means for measurement according to each individual cooler company.

Within the Aqua Dosa range, Aqua Cure offers measuring bottles or dispenser and delivery bottle options, as well as two variants of quantitative peroxide test strips. The firm recommends the use of quantitative test strips, as opposed to basic colour change strips as these cannot prove that full peroxide concentration levels have been established in the cooler.
