The Science Behind WaterGuard MO™: A Safer Way to Fight Biofilm and Bacteria

When it comes to protecting your facility from Legionella, biofilm is public enemy number one. Biofilm is a slimy, glue-like coating that forms inside plumbing and HVAC systems—an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Once established, biofilm is incredibly difficult to remove, and traditional chlorine-based treatments often fail to penetrate it.

That’s why we developed WaterGuard MO™, a proprietary mineral oxychloride solution specifically engineered to break through biofilm and deliver long-term disinfection without harming your pipes or producing harmful by-products. Unlike traditional shock treatments that fade quickly, WaterGuard MO provides a stable residual—meaning it keeps working between doses.

WaterGuard MO works in four powerful ways:

1. Oxidizes organic matter that feeds biofilm.

2. Destroys biofilm structure, exposing hidden bacteria.

3. Disrupts Legionella colonies, preventing growth.

4. Maintains residual disinfection throughout the system.

The best part? It’s non-corrosive and low-toxicity, making it safe for use in high-risk settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. Plus, it doesn’t form disinfection by-products like trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), which are regulated due to their cancer risks.

WaterGuard MO is fully integrated into our treatment programs and can be used alongside real-time monitoring, quarterly testing, and full remediation protocols. It's not just another chemical—it’s the future of smart, safe, and sustainable water treatment.
