Let’s ask ourselves why?
Well, in our opinion not least, it is a combination of issues ranging from the blatantly obvious to the hidden, even misunderstood aspects of practices developed and adopted over the years within the industry.
From our experience over the years, chlorine dioxide has gained as many friends as it has enemies.

where safety goes wrong right from the onset with installation and remedial maintenance poorly practiced, operator error through lack of training causing accidental spillages, over and under dosing of chemical reagents leading to poor biocidal efficacy, corrosion and unnecessary DBPs, to name a few.
issues where poor ClO2 generator design fails to protect correct reaction chemistry and hence biocidal efficacy due to inadequate metering accuracy, poor calibration and tampering with reagent pump settings, vulnerability in operation due to poor quality materials failing prior to PPM visits, chemical reagent drums running empty and unnoticed, maintenance companies offering service contracts for equipment they have little expertise dealing with day to day and so the generator slowly falls into disrepair and performs poorly often without the knowledge of the operator.
aspects, for example: –
Prevention is better than Cure!
Protect the operator, secure the chemical reaction efficacy, build a robust product that is both simple to install, maintain and operate.
Sounds easy but why is this not happening enough in practice then?
Technology plays a great part as we know in the advancement of improving and influencing most things we see and do every day in life. The same is no different in this case.
Take for instance the chloriDOS® iOX®, a completely unique and Patented chlorine dioxide generation technology:
