MIOX Hypochlorite and Mixed-Oxidant Generators NSF 61 Certified

MIOX Corporation received certification on February 8, 2002, for both their mixed-oxidant and hypochlorite on-site generators for potable water disinfection. The generators are listed under NSF Standard 61, Drinking Water System Components - Health Effects. The certification procedure included a toxicology review to ensure that no contaminants were leached into the drinking water, a factory audit to verify formulations and QA/QC records, and product testing according to the protocols in the NSF standards.

MIOX Corporation's new certification under NSF Standard 61 adds to an existing listing for mixed-oxidant solution tanks ranging from 55 to 5000 gallons. The MIOX SAL Series is also NSF-certified under Standard 50 for Circulation System Components and Related Materials for Swimming Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs.

Products receiving the mark of certification go through a rigorous testing protocol to ensure that they meet all the requirements of the specified standard for purity and that the manufacturer's claims are accurate. In order to maintain the listing, the company will provide for annual inspection of the product and periodic re-testing.
