Please, do not forget that ...

Please, do not forget that removing free-floating bacteria, including pseudomonas, is relatively easy - and all biocide treatments mentioned below can be highly effective. The real problem is biofilm, which is the ideal environment for the proliferation of bacteria, including pathogens - and such microbial layer is much more difficult to remove. As long as there is biofilm, no water system can be considered safe from pathogens - and checking the liquid for free-floating bacteria won't provide any real help. Therefore, it is much more important to ASSESS the efficacy of the treatment, rather than to CHOOSE the treatment itself, solely based on experience. Biofilm monitoring technologies allow to optimize biocide protocols, based on real needs, and to assess their efficacy.
