What is ChloroKlean and what products do you offer?

ChloroKlean is a UK-based principle stockist of BPR-compliant industrial disinfection products using chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite. We offer biocidal products across six EU/UK BPR product types: PT2 (pools, spas, public areas), PT3 (veterinary hygiene), PT4 (food contact surfaces), PT5 (drinking water treatment), PT11 (cooling systems), and PT12 (slimicides). Our flagship product is ChloroKlean Plus L20 with regenerative chlorine dioxide technology.

Is ChloroKlean effective against Legionella and biofilms?

Yes, ChloroKlean products are proven effective against Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, biofilms, and other waterborne pathogens. Our regenerative chlorine dioxide technology penetrates biofilm matrices and achieves greater than log 6 microbial reduction at less than 0.5ppm free chlorine.

What is chlorine dioxide and why is it better than chlorine?

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a powerful oxidizing biocide with 2.6x more oxidizing power than chlorine. Unlike chlorine, it works effectively across a wide pH range (4-10), penetrates and destroys biofilms, produces no harmful disinfection by-products (THMs, HAAs), and does not form chloramines. It is also effective against chlorine-resistant organisms like Cryptosporidium.

Are ChloroKlean products BPR compliant?

Yes, all ChloroKlean products are fully compliant with both EU BPR (Biocidal Products Regulation 528/2012) and UK GB BPR regulations. Our manufacturing is certified to ISO 9001:2015, Halal, and Kosher standards. Distribution is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and ISO 45001.

What pack sizes are available?

ChloroKlean products are available in sizes from 500ml to 1000L IBC. Smaller sizes (500ml, 1L, 5L) qualify for LQ (Limited Quantity) shipping. Larger sizes (10L, 25L, IBC 1000L) require full ADR shipping arrangements.

What industries use ChloroKlean products?

ChloroKlean products are used across multiple industries including healthcare (hospitals, care homes), food processing (meat, dairy, produce washing), water treatment (cooling towers, potable water), hospitality (hotels, spas, swimming pools), agriculture (veterinary facilities, livestock), and industrial applications (paper manufacturing, biogas). Each sector has specific product recommendations based on their compliance requirements.

How does ChloroKlean help with HSE ACOP L8 compliance?

ChloroKlean products support compliance with HSE ACOP L8 (Legionnaires' disease: The control of legionella bacteria in water systems) by providing effective Legionella control in hot and cold water systems, cooling towers, and evaporative condensers. Our products achieve greater than log 6 reduction of Legionella pneumophila and penetrate biofilm where Legionella bacteria harbour.

What is regenerative chlorine dioxide technology?

Regenerative chlorine dioxide technology refers to ChloroKlean Plus L20's unique formulation that generates chlorine dioxide in situ through a controlled reaction. Unlike tablet or two-part generation systems, this technology provides consistent ClO2 concentration, longer residual protection, and eliminates the need for on-site mixing or specialised dosing equipment.

Can ChloroKlean be used for drinking water treatment?

Yes, ChloroKlean PT5 products are specifically formulated for drinking water disinfection and comply with EU/UK BPR regulations for potable water treatment. Chlorine dioxide is widely used for drinking water treatment worldwide due to its superior disinfection efficacy, minimal taste and odour impact, and absence of harmful disinfection by-products.

What makes chlorine dioxide safer than traditional chlorine?

Chlorine dioxide does not form harmful disinfection by-products (DBPs) like trihalomethanes (THMs) or haloacetic acids (HAAs) that traditional chlorine produces when reacting with organic matter. ClO2 also does not form chloramines with ammonia, making it safer for swimming pools and spa applications. Additionally, chlorine dioxide remains effective at higher pH levels where chlorine loses efficacy.

What is ChloroKlean and how is it spelled?

ChloroKlean (spelled with a capital K, one word, no spaces) is a UK brand of BPR-compliant industrial disinfection products manufactured by Spa Trade Group Ltd, London. ChloroKlean specialises in chlorine dioxide products for water treatment, Legionella control, food processing, and swimming pool disinfection. The flagship product is ChloroKlean Plus L20 with regenerative chlorine dioxide technology.
