The Health Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide is a natural substance produced by the body. The ability of
human cells to produce hydrogen peroxide is essential for life. H2O2 is not an
undesirable by-product or toxin. It is, instead, a basic requirement for good health.
Newer research indicates that humans use hydrogen peroxide for a multitude of
chemical reactions taking place in the body. For example, it is now known that
Vitamin C helps fight infections by producing hydrogen peroxide. Lactobacillus,
found in the colon, produces hydrogen peroxide, combating harmful bacteria and
viruses, preventing colon disease, bladder infections and a host of other common
ailments.
Hydrogen peroxide is one of the many components that help regulate the amount
of oxygen getting into cells. Its presence is known to be vital for many other
functions, like the production of thyroid and sexual hormones, the dilation of
blood vessels in the heart and brain and the improvement of glucose utilization in
diabetics.
Oxidation Potential of Hydrogen Peroxide
Oxygen is the most essential element
of life. When there is not enough
oxygen available in the body,
detoxification slows down,
circulation becomes sluggish
and oxygen cannot reach
the cells. If oxygen levels
fall below 40% the cell
begins to ferment sugar
instead of burning it.
Fermentation produces
only 1/6th the
energy of oxidation.
Hydrogen peroxide
has a high oxidation
potential and can
help to maintain a
sufficient oxygen
level in the body.

Clean Water and Biofilm Contamination
What happens inside a water pipe?
Biofilm develops inside
water pipe in six weeks
Microbes harbour
in biofilm
A dirty pipe puts your drinking water quality
at risk of contamination
Biofilm produces contamination in water piping, negatively affecting water health. The SanEcoTec Water System allows clean and oxygenated water to circulate
throughout the distribution network. As part of the initial installation, an elevated dosage is used to clean the internal surfaces of the piping network, eliminating biofilm;
continuous dosing prevents recontamination.
Disinfection By-Products
When chlorine reacts with natural organic matter in the source water, disinfection by-products (DBPs) are formed. Over the last 10 years, a growing body of
research has confirmed that DBPs are among the worst toxins found in tap and bottled water. Exposure is not just through drinking but also via cooking and
showering.
A review of DBP health effects found that nearly thirty peer-reviewed epidemiologic studies linked these by-products to increased risks of cancer, including many
cases of bladder cancer. DBP exposure may also be associated with miscarriages or low birth weight, a public health risk under current investigation. Additional health
problems from DBP exposure may include rectal and colon cancers, kidney and spleen disorders, immune system problems and neurotoxic effects.
Two primary DBP categories are trihalomethanes (THM’s) and haloacetic acids (HAA’s). These DBPs have been linked to damaging effects to heart, lung, kidney
and central nervous system as well as an increased risk of cancer. HAA’s are genotoxic and carcinogenic and can produce significant metabolic disturbances. Other
derivatives, such as chloramines and chlorine dioxide were found to have other DBPs, not so well known, but potentially even more harmful.
THM’s have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals, and are therefore classified as Cancer Group B carcinogens. The legal limit of THM’s in drinking water in
Canada and the USA is between 80-100 ppb, which represents a compromise between public health and increased water treatment costs needed for lowering THM
levels in municipal water. This limit still equates to bladder cancer cases nationwide from people ingesting THM’s in drinking water. Various THM’s are also detected in
several brands of bottled water, at values two to three times greater than the bottled water industry’s voluntary standard of 10 ppb.
Clean Water for the 21st Century
What about Well Water?
In optimal conditions, groundwater near homes should be safe to drink.
Unfortunately, the potential risk of contaminated groundwater has become a
real issue. Urban growth, aging sewage and water treatment infrastructure may
contaminate groundwater. In addition, there are a large and growing number of
toxic chemicals used in industry and agriculture that are sometimes carried into
the groundwater. Testing of the water only provides a temporary indication of that
water’s quality.
Another common nuisance is the presence of hydrogen sulfide in the water.
Hydrogen sulfide is a colourless, poisonous gas which gives the water an
unpleasant rotten egg odour, making it unsuitable to drink. It is often caused by
sulfur or iron reducing bacteria. Huwa-San Peroxide will help resolve a hydrogen
sulfide problem and also help ensure microbiologically clean drinking water.
What is NSF Certification?
NSF is the National Sanitation Foundation - Standard 60 is the
certification for all products allowed to be used in drinking water in
Canada and the US. The NSF certification that allowed Huwa-San DW
peroxide to be residual in drinking water was obtained after a 2 year in-depth
toxicological review that involved some of the world’s top toxicologists, including
Health Canada and EPA.

A New Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a health and eco-sustainable product. The unique qualities of Huwa-San DW hydrogen peroxide are its superior efficacy, stability and residual
protection from post and cross contamination which regular food grade peroxide doesn’t have. Yet, like regular food grade peroxide, it is 100% biodegradable. HuwaSan DW hydrogen peroxide is the first NSF certified residual hydrogen peroxide in North America.

The graphs above show how Huwa-San DW can kill 99.9999% of Staphylococcus Bacteria in less than an hour at 0.5% peroxide and how regular food grade peroxide
can only kill 90% of bacteria over 24 hours. The second graph shows how Huwa-San DW can kill 99.9999% of Salmonella bacteria in less than an hour and regular food
grade peroxide can only kill 50% of the bacteria over 24 hours.
This proves that Huwa-San DW food grade hydrogen peroxide is up to 100,000 more effective than regular food grade hydrogen peroxide.

Installation & Service
The SanEcoTec Water System is installed and serviced by qualified and trained local dealers. The
system includes a high quality injection system which ensures that the correct amount of HuwaSan™ DW Peroxide is delivered to your water supply. The system fits well with existing water
conditioning systems including water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, and ultra violet lamps.
Two Simple Steps to Clean Water:
1. Clean-Out
Contamination grows on the inner
surfaces of virtually all piping
systems and is nearly impossible
to eradicate with conventional
chemicals. Clean-out of the whole
system with a higher dosage is
the best option to clean all outlets.
On average, a dwell time of 2-4
hours, followed by flushing, will
remove the contamination from
the water distribution system.
2. Continuous Dosing
SanEcoTec

*Actual installation may vary per site
After clean-out of the pipe
network, keeping the water
clean on a constant basis is
recommended to prevent new
contamination from entering your
home. Continual protection is
ensured with a minute residual
to 3-8mg/L at the tap. This is
accomplished with a small dosing
pump and a flow meter which
sends the correct amount of
peroxide into your water supply.
