This is an excellent question that can only be answered with "it depends". Every water disinfectant chemical or physical like UV, has specific effectiveness on target pathogens. Some work better on certain types of microrganisms and at certain doses. The best approach is a multiple barrier approach - use more than one type of disinfectant. Can you provide any specifics on the pathogens of concern? Also affecting efficacy is the water quality, Some chemcials will interfere with certain disinfectants. I am sorry there is no single disinfectant to solve all pathogens.

The water sterilization unit that we take to market not only sterilizes but kills, destroy and removes bacteria and viruses in the water, providing the end-user with safe, clean drinking water at very low cost, without the addition of any Chemicals or Chlorine. There are additional options available for removing Toxic metals such as Arsenic and Mercury from any water source. We have conducted various tests in South Africa through an accredited testing laboratory. Please contact me should you require more information.
