Hotel chain reduces risks and energy use

A prominent UK hotel group, managing multiple properties nationwide, adopted a forward-thinking approach to water hygiene by implementing continuous water disinfection instead of relying on high-temperature control methods. This shift was driven by a desire to reduce energy use and environmental impact while maintaining safe, compliant water systems across all sites.

A proactive approach to water hygiene

Rather than waiting for water quality issues to emerge, the group acted pre-emptively, seeking a safer, long-term alternative to chlorine dioxide systems. Their goals were clear: eliminate the handling and storage of hazardous chemicals, lower utility bills and minimise scalding risks for guests, especially at sites with ageing infrastructure and limited plant room space.

On-site disinfection with salt, water and electricity

The DCW solution became the preferred choice across several locations. The units produce a potent disinfectant on site using just salt, water and electricity. The disinfectant contains a low concentration of hypochlorous acid and is automatically dosed into the water. The solution integrates into existing infrastructure without the need for major disruption.
