At Solenis, our Chem-Aqua EPI Ionization Systems provide an advanced, eco-friendly solution for domestic potable water disinfection. Using copper-silver ionization technology, our systems help control harmful pathogens, including Legionella bacteria, for safe and clean water for commercial and industrial applications.
Under certain environmental conditions, water systems can become a source for Legionella bacteria. Although Legionella is commonly found in natural bodies of water, outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease typically originate from man-made systems (e.g., cooling towers, hot and cold-water systems, spa pools, etc.) where water is maintained at temperatures that encourage bacterial growth.
As facilities such as hospitals, hotels, and large buildings implement their water management plans, our copper-silver ionization system is a proven method for water treatment, helping offer long-term protection against biofilm formation and microbial contamination. As part of a comprehensive water management plan, our EPI systems deliver reliable, low-maintenance performance.
Copper-Silver Ionization System Benefits
- Effective Control – Highly effective in helping control Legionella bacteria.
- Environmentally Friendly – Does not produce halogenated byproducts.
- Water Temperature Resilience – Ions are not impacted by water temperature providing consistent residuals in hot water systems.
- System Redundancy – Backup electrode cell is available if the primary is in repair or under maintenance.
- Infrastructure Friendly – Less corrosive to copper plumbing systems.
- Online Monitoring – Real-time monitoring and control to ensure optimal performance based on water usage.
- No Chemical Handling – No spill concerns versus liquid chemicals.
- Cost Effective – Unit only activates when fresh makeup water enters the system.
EPI Ionization System Applications
Our copper-silver ionization systems are ideal for:
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities – Critical for Legionella risk management
- Hotels and resorts – Ensures guest safety with clean water
- Office buildings and schools – Maintains water quality in large plumbing systems
