Firewall «Legio Protect™»

Protection of Vulnerable System Components

OxyCat® catalysts combine two important features:

As oxidation catalysts they reduce organic contamination even at significantly reduced chemical dosage in water treatment, and they sustainable improve taste and freshness!
The unique repellent effects create an insurmountable barrier for microorganisms – Firewall!

Firewall

The OxyCat firewall https://www.pastaag.li/en/oxycat/ protects components such as shower heads or water filters (i.e. RO or water softening systems) from contamination from the system. Reversely, they prevent microorganisms from entering the system at interfaces such as faucets, shower head etc. This offers long-term biofilm prevention inside the system at exposed components.

Legio Protect^TM

Legionella and other thermophiles are a common issue in cold and hot water systems. Interfaces with the environment are critical. The most common example is showering. Legionella are predominantly airborne. In a household setting, humidifiers and showers/warm water faucets are the main sources of infection.

OxyCat® has been used in humidifiers for over 20 years. Pads for shower heads have been tested in a joint project with a leading manufacturer for germ-free shower heads (reports available upon request). The pads have not proven to be very practical. With our new Legio Protect^TM technology we can now offer a more practical solution:

Legio Protect^TMCartridge:

Material: Plastic or stainless-steel cartridge with standard interface.
Area of Application: Shower head, water filter, water softening plant, dishwasher, washing machine, warm water
Active ingredient: OxyCat® granules

Legio Protect^TMTube:

Material: Plumbing tube, plastic or stainless-steel cartridge, standard interface
Area of Application: Connecting tubes or hoses
Active ingredient: OxyCat® rope, tube or braided fabric

The image shows the three different possible points of application on a shower head. Generally, one of the three will suffice. The range of the repellent redox potential is remarkable – long-distance effect! For user friendliness we recommend placement directly at the shower head.

See the images below for application on shower heads or faucets in a RO system.
