Miox : My Water. My World.

Technical

Question: "How do MIOX salt and energy conversion efficiencies compare to other on-site chlorine generators?"

Answer:  The salt and energy conversion efficiencies of MIOX on-site hypochlorite generators are comparable to and sometimes even better than alternative on-site hypochlorite generators. (more)

Question: "Do MIOX generators require special salt quality for operation?"

Answer:  MIOX generators do not require any special salt quality, any more than any other on-site chlorine generators. (more)

Question: "How stable is the mixed-oxidant solution?"

Answer:  On-site generation systems are designed to generate disinfectant on site and on demand, so attempts to store the solution defeat the purpose of on-site generation. (more)

Question: "How much sodium is added to the treated water?"

Answer:  Although on-site generation uses salt as a feedstock, the conversion efficiencies are extremely good, resulting in only minute amounts of sodium being added to the treated water. (more)

Question: "How do mixed oxidants reduce TTHM formation?"

Answer:  Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) are formed by a reaction between organic precursors and chlorine. To reduce TTHM formation, either organics and/or chlorine dosing must be reduced. (more)

Question: "What can we expect from an SDS test?"

Answer:  About 50 percent of SDS tests performed to date have reflected a reduction in total trihalomethanes (TTHM) formation with mixed oxidants. (more)

Question: "What are mixed oxidants?"

Answer:  The mixed-oxidant solution is a mixture of chlorine and other chlor-oxygen compounds that are generated electrolytically using salt, water, and power. (more)
