SLIDE 1 The Application of Electro-Chemically Activated Water (Hypochlorous Acid) in Swimming Pools
SLIDE 2 The Company
- Aqualution was set up as a pharmaceutical research
project in 2002 by Britannia Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Ajinomoto (Japan, £5bn)
- Over £5m has been invested in research,
development and regulatory compliance
- BPL sold to Stada A.G (Germany, €1bn) in Aug 2008
- MBO of Aqualution in Sept 2009
SLIDE 3 Our Products
- All our products are based on one active ingredient:
Hypochlorous acid. It is produced using water, salt and electricity and is sometimes referred to as “electrochemically activated water”
- Hypochlorous acid is produced by the mammalian body to
destroy invading pathogens
- It is safe for mammals but is very effective at destroying
bacteria, viruses, moulds, yeasts and fungi. However it is very unstable with a shelf life of <48 hours. We are the first and only company to develop a stable hypochlorous acid product and
- ffer reliable pre-packaged goods
- Its exemplary safety and efficacy profile means it is potentially
useful across a wide range of applications
SLIDE 4 Product Benefits
- Sanitation where traditional chemicals may do more harm than
good
- Reduction or elimination of environmental and safety issues eg
fire hazard problems, toxicity, PPE requirement for dilution and handling, incorrect dilution rates
- Significant investment (£5m) made in proof of principle,
confirming the science, manufacturing and technology development
- Solosan Pool Control gives BETTER, FASTER and SAFER
management of your pool and spa

Better, Faster, Safer
Rinse water on filling line following being cleaned with hot caustic soda, followed by peracetic acid The line was then cleaned again with Zygosan Significant Biofilms left behind by conventional chemicals were removed

The main disinfection actives utilised are quaternary ammonium, phenolics, alcohols, oxidative compounds, aldehydes and iodophors Exposure effects of these products include: Tissue damage / irritation / sensitisation Toxicity Carcinogenic Although effective they may also be corrosive, caustic, unstable and have slow degradation rates In the past there has been a trade off between efficacy and deleterious effects to human and animal health and the environment
Better, Faster, Safer
SLIDE 8 Efficacy (Lab)
- Hypochlorous acid is effective against a very broad
range of pathogens including C. diff, MRSA and noroviruses
- Salvesan has passed numerous BS/EN tests
including: – BS/EN 1276, BS/EN 13704, BS/EN 1656, BS/EN13697, BS/EN 14704 – It is effective against C. diff spores (modified version of BS/EN13704)
- Salvesan has a very rapid kill time
SLIDE 9
- Historically, swimming pool water has always been
treated with chlorine because it is an effective disinfectant and is highly oxidising. Chlorine is also the chemical of choice for public pools. Clear and hygienically safe water is guaranteed.
- The Solosan Pool Control system reliably keeps the
- perating parameters in an optimum range and
unpleasant side-effects, such as the smell of chlorine to a minimum.
- Based on the in-situ electrolysis of salt the
technology delivers the hypochlorous acid you require without having to handle toxic and environmentally damaging concentrated hypochlorite
Solosan Pool Control
SLIDE 10
- Solosan Pool Control uses highly specific chlorine sensors to measure
the chlorine content in the pool allowing the concentration of chlorine in the water to be determined and set with accuracy.
- Numerous features to enhance operating convenience, such as
measured values being mapped by a screen plotter or remote control from your PC, iPad or other tablet device using an integrated web server, make the pool control system very popular with operators.
- Solosan Pool Control can also measure the combined chlorine. This is
an important parameter in public pools. It can be incorporated in the building management system via OPC and KNX and alarm messages can be sent by text or e-mail.
- The integrated soft PLC control can be used to operate several
peripheral devices and functions. The swimming pool controller becomes the central control unit for all the swimming pool technology.
