What is Chlorine Dioxide Solution (CDL)?
Chlorine dioxide solution , often referred to as CDL, is a specialized drinking water treatment solution. It contains chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) , an effective oxidizing agent that is characterized by its effectiveness in combating microorganisms and is chemically different from chlorine. CDL can be produced in several ways: one method involves reacting sodium chlorite with an acid, while an alternative method uses the oxidation process . It is a preferred method for water disinfection because it produces fewer by-products than other disinfectants and is particularly efficient.
How do you dose CDL drops correctly and how is it used?
There are clear dosage recommendations when using CDL drops for drinking water treatment in Germany. For the correct dosage and use of CDL, you should observe the following guidelines:
- To prepare 1 liter of drinking water, you should ideally use 2 drops of CDL (<0.3%).
- If you want to prepare a larger quantity, for example 15 liters of drinking water, a dosage of 1 ml CDL (<0.3%) is recommended.
These CDL drops dosage recommendations serve as general guidelines, regardless of the specific level of contamination in the water. It is important to always consider local regulations and standards regarding drinking water.
How long does CDL last?
The shelf life of CDL can vary, but usually depends on storage conditions and the specific concentration of the solution. If stored in a light-protected container at a cool temperature between 2 and 8°C, CDL can last for several months. However, it is recommended to use the solution within 6 months after preparation to ensure its maximum effectiveness. Over time, the effectiveness of the CDL may decrease, which is why it is advisable to always pay attention to the expiry or manufacturing date and storage recommendations.
What is the difference between CDL and CDS?
CDL and CDS both refer to a solution of chlorine dioxide in water. While CDL stands for "Chlorine Dioxide Solution" and is used in German-speaking countries, CDS stands for "Chlorine Dioxide Solution" and is the English name for it.
How do CDL active and CDL duo differ?
CDL active and CDL duo are both variants of chlorine dioxide solutions, but with different application and storage properties. While CDL active is a prefabricated , activated chlorine dioxide solution with a concentration of around 0.3% and is therefore ready for immediate use, CDL duo is a 2-component set . With this set, the user can independently prepare a chlorine dioxide solution, also with a concentration of around 0.3%.
A key advantage of CDL duo is its long shelf life: When inactivated, it can be stored for up to 4 years, which makes it particularly attractive for long-term storage and stockpiling.
