Hydro-dis — New Chemical Free Water Disinfection

Science & Technology (water)

Hydro-dis is a “water disinfection technology will allow businesses and everyday families to clean and reuse water again and again without the use of external chemicals.” It has been developed as a joint venture between the University of South Australia’s Ian Wark Research Institute, and an Adelaide company, SSS Water. The three-stage disinfection process, can treat any type of water, and is being commercialised so it can be rolled out through an international distribution arrangement. SSS Water reckon the “technology has applications worldwide for grey water, drinking water, pools and spas and cooling tower water disinfection and other products..." Apparently it can achieve the disinfection at low cost, which should allow for better water conservation and management. Though the process itself is currently a trade secret.

Wow, and I got a bridge to sell you!
While I hope this is somehow true, I find it irresponsible for Treehugger to post something that is so completely "vaporware".

Crocs look like they're the mutant offspring of Ugg boots and flip flops. Although they do look like great shoes for gardening, sort of half Wellies for hot climates.

It's not vaporware ... it's waterware.

By the way the University of South Australia was involved in the research that lead to this product; granted the technology has not been proven as a widescale commercial product but I believe that there is more science than marketing behind the technology.
