Brigita,

Pseudomonas is very difficult to remove from water systems, but once having removed you must ensure that it doesn't form again. The only disinfectant that is powerful enough to eradicate pseudomonas is chlorine dioxide. Now don't confuse chlorine dioxide with chlorine. They are completely different. While chlorine has 2 electrons to do the job chlorine dioxide has 5, this makes chlorine dioxide 2.5x more powerful than chlorine. When pseudomonas is under a biofilm then chlorine firstly is ineffective in let alone removing the biofilm but even penetrating it. Secondly, the demand for chlorine is very high and it gets consumed, for these reasons alone it has been found that chlorine dioxide is the only disinfectant that can effectively remove pseudomonas from water systems.
