How Does HydroFLOW Treat Bacteria ? Osmosis and Bacteria • Bacterium cell: semi-permeable membrane • In distilled water, water flows into • bacterium cell • Bacterium becomes “too diluted”, bursts • and dies • * Even kills “freshwater” bacteria • Semi-permeable membrane: • lets water pass but not salt. • Water flows from dilute to • concentrated region H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O H2O Cl Cl Na H2O H2O H2O H2O Na H2O Cl Cl Cl Cl Na Na Na Na Na H2O Na Cl Na Cl Cl Cl Na Semi-permeable membrane
HydroFLOW and Bacteria • A bacterium passing through the HydroFLOW unit becomes • charged, creating a wetting layer of pure water • Osmosis forces water into the bacterium and causes it to burst • within seconds H2O H2O Cl Na Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Na Na Na Na Cl Cl Cl Na Cl Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Cl Na Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl
Benefitsof HydroFLOW • HydroFLOW eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and algae passing through the unit • No chemicals or disinfectants required
