Sodium hypochlorite is used as a broad spectrum disinfectant in hospitals. Chlorine based disinfection is recommended by the UK Health Authority as the preferred disinfectant to kill harmful and difficult to treat bacteria like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (C.Difficle).

The required concentration will depend on the amount of organic material present on the surface to be cleaned and disinfected. Different concentrations of chlorine needs to be used to disinfect counter tops, floors, tonometer heads, needles, syringes, laundry, dental appliances, hydrotherapy tanks, water distribution instruments in hemodialysis instruments, and regulatedHospital waste prior to disposal.

It is recommended that the sodium hypochlorite solution be made fresh every day. Pristine Water’s Electro-chlorinator are the perfect solution for this.
