Toxicity

Trustwater™ destroys all known microbes, including viruses, fungal spores and difficult to kill biofilm.

Trustwater™ systems generate activated hypochlorous acid (HOCI) at a physiological pH. HOCI is a well known and well characterized oxidant, and in its active form is a critical compound produced by human and animal immune systems to fight infection.

Trustwater™ proprietary technology mimics the production by the immune system of the body's natural anti-microbial activity. It does so by generating HOCI, which naturally protects the body from infection. HOCI is extremely effective at killing pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and fungal spores, yet is safe and environmentally friendly.

HOCI, which naturally protects the body from infection is extremely effective at killing pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and fungal spores, yet is safe to man, animals and the environment. Trustwater™, which produces this same active compound, is successfully being used in a wide range of applications.

When an invading pathogen or infection threatens a human or animal cell, the body's immune system responds by destroying the pathogen before it can harm the cell. The invading pathogens are engulfed by white blood cells called neutrophils by the process of phagocytosis.

Once engulfed inside the neutrophil cell, a pathogen is encapsulated by a phagosome, which generates HOCI as the final step of the Oxidative Burst Pathway, the centerpiece of the phagocytic killing mechanism. Large quantities of HOCI are released into the phagocytic vesicle to destroy the invading pathogen.

During the Oxidative Burst Pathway, neutrophils use the naturally occurring NADPH oxidase enzyme complex which catalyses the conversion of oxygen into superoxide anion. Superoxide dismutase enzyme then converts superoxide and water to form hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals. The hydrogen peroxide then combines with chloride ions by the action of the enzyme myeloperoxidase to form HOCl.

A Natural Process - Trustwater™ mimics the human body's natural immuno-defense system

Although HOCI in the body is biocidal on pathogens or bacteria, it does not adversely affect human or animal cells. These cells protect themselves using an extensive, highly effective group of protective agents and defense mechanisms referred to collectively as the Antioxidant Defense System (ADS). Pathogens, however, do not possess this ability.
