How to Use Hydrogen Peroxide in Your Home Water Treatment System

Hydrogen peroxide is slowly making its way toward becoming a household name in treating water. There is this natural aspect of disinfection and cleansing water. An excellent substitution with chlorine, since it destroys bacteria, biofilm, iron, and sulphur with no toxic byproducts.

Understanding Hydrogen Peroxide for Water Treatment

Water problems, such as the smell of rotten eggs, iron stains, or harmful bacteria, are the bane of many homeowners. Chlorine or ozone could be used to treat such problems; on the sad side, these treatments could come with a strong chemical odour, damage the environment, or be hard to handle. Enter hydrogen peroxide, a cleaner and more environmentally friendly way of treating water problems.

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is a very mighty natural cleanser. It breaks down into oxygen and water when added to water, leaving nothing harmful behind. It instigates the removal of iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulphide from water by oxidizing them into particles that are easily filtered away. Furthermore, it serves to disinfect bacteria or viruses from water with no possibility of a dangerous byproduct-forming synthesis, as do some other methods.

Puroxi, a water treatment company offering safe and sustainable water treatment methods, treats specific water quality problems with stabilized high-quality hydrogen peroxide applications called Puroxi Oxygen Booster. These systems are beneficial for relatively far-flung homes that draw water from wells, rivers, lakes or even ponds, where issues of bacteria, biofilm, sulphur and iron dominate.

How Puroxi Oxygen Booster Functions in Water Treatment

The chemistry of Puroxi Oxygen Booster is promising yet straightforward. Once Puroxi Oxygen Booster is introduced into the water stream through a metering pump, contaminants react instantly with the peroxide:

  • Hydrogen sulphide (H₂S): Makes a rotten egg smell and is quickly decomposed inside the water by hydrogen peroxide into water plus elemental sulphur.
  • Iron & Manganese: Both oxidize, forming solid particulates that are later removed by a backwash filter.
  • Bacteria & Biofilm: It exerts its strong disinfecting capabilities to keep bacteria away without influencing taste or odours.

In contrast to chlorine, it will not introduce toxic residues, and it does not give a nasty taste. Systems consisting of hydrogen peroxide are simple to maintain; with proper installation and good dosing techniques, their performance remains consistent.

Water Treatment System

Installing Puroxi Oxygen Booster into Your Home Water Treatment System

Step 1: Test the Water

Get a complete water analysis before proceeding with the installation of your system. Find out the pH of your water, iron level, sulphur content, manganese level, and probably bacteria. We can assist, ensuring the treatment scheme is a perfect fit for your water needs.

Step 2: Choose the Proper System

After testing, choose your hydrogen peroxide injection system, which generally consists of:

  • A chemical injection pump
  • A holding tank for hydrogen peroxide
  • A contact tank (optional but desirable to allow for longer reaction times)
  • A filtration system (backwashing greensand filter or carbon filter)

Puroxi has built systems for industrial, municipal, rural and agricultural clients, but they also have done many residential installations.

Step 3: Installation

The injection pump is designed and set to dose hydrogen peroxide into the water line before it crosses through any fixture. Depending upon the water quality, the concentration and the speed of the pump are varied to ensure complete oxidation of the contaminants and optimum utilization of the chemical.

A reliable filtration system must be in place to prevent oxidized particles from being left in the water. The filters should be backwashed from time to time to avoid clogging and to maintain the flow rate.

Supervision and Monitoring

Frequent care assures the Puroxi Oxygen Booster system operates smoothly:

  • Adjust the pump parameters appropriately to allow for proper dosing.
  • Backwashing of the filter must work on a schedule that keeps it in good condition, while following the manufacturer’s recommendations as to how often this should be done.
  • In the beginning, parts per million checkups should be done to maintain quality, with some adjustments made if necessary.

Our support and material provision enable the homeowners themselves to operate the system without hiring technicians permanently.

Benefits of Using Puroxi Oxygen Booster

  • No chemical aftertaste or smell, whatever the water is, it remains true to its taste and smell.
  • It turns into oxygen and water, and there is no harmful residue left for the environment.
  • Feeds good germs in septic tanks-keeps your system balanced, which means it works efficiently.
  • Strong killing agent-it kills bacteria, viruses, and some parasites efficiently.
  • Iron and sulphur removal sorts out the usual plagues of healthy water.
  • Low maintenance, easy to monitor and operate with correct installation.

When Not to Use Puroxi Oxygen Booster

It should be noted that hydrogen peroxide solution is effective in most cases for well water problems, but it may not be suitable in all situations. May include:

  • When pH values are high above 8.5, efficacy can be decreased. We can adjust your pH to allow you to use our stabilized, high-quality hydrogen peroxide.
  • Such hard water can require pre-treatment.
  • Iron, manganese, sulphates, and high total dissolved solids (TDS) could necessitate multi-stage filtration systems.

Before deciding on the system, it is wise to seek advice from an expert to make sure that it is the perfect match.

Why Puroxi?

Puroxi’s history spans the treatment of residential, agricultural, and commercial water supplies through natural means.
