ELIMINATING DANGER

GreenTech International has launched a breakthrough solution to eliminate biofilms and chlorine-resistant pathogens in pools and spas

Anew UK-based company, GreenTech, is entering the pool and spa sector, looking to provide operators with an effective new way to eliminate biofilms and the dangerous pathogens they protect

The company’s new Hydro Dioxide tablet has been designed to penetrate and break down chlorine-resistant biofilm structures throughout entire systems, exposing and eliminating the bacteria and pathogens hidden within

While chlorine struggles to penetrate biofilms, Hydro Dioxide works through them, removing the protective layer and stopping the continuous cycle of contamination that many operators have come to accept as unavoidable Delivered in a fast-dissolving tablet, the solution is the result of more than 15 years of specialist research into chlorine dioxide and biofilm behaviour

Biofilms have been described as one of the most persistent and underestimated risks in wet leisure environments Forming deep within pipework, filters and surfaces, they can create a protective shield for harmful bacteria, allowing them to survive disinfection, re-enter circulation and repeatedly compromise water quality

This could result in not only poor bather experience – including skin irritation and infections – but also the presence of serious health threats, such as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Legionella, E coli and Cryptosporidium oocysts alongside ongoing damage to plant infrastructure and spiralling maintenance costs

Despite the threat they can pose, biofilms remain misunderstood across the industry, with many operators unknowingly treating symptoms in the water rather than the root cause within the system

GreenTech International is led by pool operations and treatment specialists, James Lee and Steve Martin, who combined bring more than 80 years of experience

The founders say that the company’s science-led approach targets biofilms at source, rather than relying solely on traditional sanitisation methods

James Lee said “Operators are often fighting a problem they can’t see with tools that were never designed to solve it Biofilms sit behind the scenes, protecting harmful bacteria and contaminating systems again and again Until you remove that layer, the problem never truly goes away Hydro Dioxide changes that by targeting the source, not just the symptoms”

Designed for commercial pools, spas and hot tubs the solution works within existing systems, removing the need for repeated draining and refilling, reducing water waste and lowering overall chemical demand while improving clarity, air quality and operational efficiency

Manufactured in the UK and fully compliant with GB BPR, ISO, OHSAS standards and Net Zero 2027, the product aligns with modern sustainability targets while delivering a step change in performance It doesn’t produce harmful disinfection by-products (DBP’s) such as trihalomethanes (THMs) Chloroform and Haloacetic acids (HAA’s), an increasing concern for both regulators and operators focused on health and environmental performance https//greentech-internationalcom
