Safewater Limited

Safewater was founded in 1999 with the objective of introducing a safe, non-chemical product that could control Legionella. It was set up at a time when active ceramics first became available, and using this technology, the company developed a simple-to-use cartridge that would inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria in water. Independent laboratories then carried out tests on the mix of active ceramics used in the cartridge to demonstrate their effectiveness in the control of Legionella and pathogenic bacteria in water systems. The HydroClenz HC2000 range, immersible cartridges for cold water systems, were then brought to market with immediate success in both the domestic and commercial sectors. The HC2000 has had particular success in the safety market for tank fed safety showers. In 2001 the silver/copper matrix material was developed, tested and produced commercially to form the Safewater IONamix™ media technology, now used throughout the HydroClenz product range.
