Finally, based on several European studies, EcaFlo® Anolyte has been shown to reduce bio-film in water piping systems associated with various facilities within hospitals. The studies showed that by reducing or eliminating the bio-film within the piping systems a reduction in electrical costs ranging from 10 to 15 percent occurred.
