APPLICATION - T-Zap in Water
Water decontaminator system
If you need to sterilize large volume of water, such as pools and air-conditioning cooling towers, Xeralife Water Decontaminator System offers you a convenient and effective solution to safely eliminate germs, in particular Legionella, a waterborne bacteria that causes pneumonia with a fatality rate of 5% to 30%.
Xeralife water decontaminator system is powered by the patented technology of T-Zap in combination with a UV light source. Developed and tested over the past 18 years in Japan, T-Zap eliminates organic contaminants effectively and safely. It traps and decomposes bacteria, viruses, fungus and algae in water.
T-Zap uses only natural ingredients, certified as food additive, and will not harm the environment. Contrary to chemical based germicides which impact an organic contaminant’s DNA structure, T-Zap attacks the cell’s walls. As such, viruses and bacteria are not able to build-up resistance. Also, once T-Zap decomposition is complete, only carbon dioxide and water are released into the environment.
A key advantage of the Xeralife water decontaminator system is that it diminishes the need for chemicals to treat the water, particularly Chlorine and Sodium Hypochlorite. This reduces environmental pollution and lowers skin irritation for bathers.

Test data
The following test was conducted in Japan by an independent laboratory:
- filled 200 liters of tab water into a large tub
- beer was added to the water to enhance contamination
- Legionella bacteria and other waterborne bacteria were then added
- the mixture was kept at a constant temperature of 40o C
- mixture was pumped through the Xeralife Water Decontaminator System
- samples were taken after every pass and bacterial content was measured
