A smarter, cleaner approach to hygiene

eWater combines proven science with modern technology to deliver powerful circular economy hygiene systems with natural ingredients that return as plain water to waterways.

The Science Behind eWater

Electrolysis is the key to eWater’s powerful and sustainable cleaning technology. By applying an electric current to a precise blend of water and salt, this process creates hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)—two highly effective cleaning and sanitising agents.

Professor Doug Macfarlane, Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor, Monash University School of Chemistry, an expert in electrochemistry, explains how this proven science is transforming hygiene by delivering hospital-grade disinfection and food-safe cleaning solutions—all without the need for harmful synthetic chemicals.

Electrolysed Water

eWater is created through electrolysed water technology, where ions are separated from a brine solution in an electrochemical cell.

This process generates two powerful components that form eWater solutions: hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a hospital-grade disinfectant and sanitiser, and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a versatile multi-purpose cleaner.

Together, they provide a safe, sustainable alternative to conventional chemical-based hygiene products.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) Powerful & Safe

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the most effective disinfectant in the chlorine family and the active ingredient in bleach. However, when produced via electrolysis, it is safer, gentler, and free from the harsh effects of traditional bleach-based products.

Naturally found in our bodies, white blood cells produce HOCL as a first line of defense against pathogens. It works by breaking down cell walls of bacteria and viruses, effectively neutralising them

Unlike conventional disinfectants, HOCl acts faster, penetrates pathogens more effectively, and leaves no toxic fumes or residues.

It provides hospital-grade disinfection while remaining gentle on skin and surfaces, making it a trusted choice for healthcare, food safety, and water treatment.

On-demand generation

By combining mains water, electricity, and a brine solution, eWater on-site generators produce an endless supply of cleaning and sanitising solutions on demand—eliminating reliance on harsh chemical consumables.

These ready-to-use solutions are generated at the point of application, ensuring maximum effectiveness, safety, and convenience without the need for dilution, mixing, or storage of bulk chemicals.

On demand with unlimited secure, sustainable supply.

  • Electrolysed water is created by passing an electric current through a solution of water and salt. This process, known as electrolysis, splits the water and salt molecules into two distinct solutions: an alkaline solution (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and an acidic solution (hypochlorous acid, HOCl).

    These solutions are known to be non-toxic and biodegradable, leaving no harmful residues. It is safe for users, reducing the risk of skin irritations and respiratory issues. Additionally, it is environmentally friendly, reducing the need for harsh chemical cleaners and minimising waste. Learn more

  • Electrolysis is the process eWater uses to transform mains water and a brine solution into powerful cleaning and sanitising solutions. By applying an electric current in an electrochemical cell, the water is split into two key components: hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a hospital-grade disinfectant, and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a versatile cleaner.

    This same scientific process is widely used in industrial water treatment, hydrogen production, metal refining, and even renewable energy storage, demonstrating its efficiency and reliability in creating safe, effective, and sustainable solutions across multiple industries. Learn more

  • While eWater Systems use advanced technology to produce cleaning and sanitising solutions, the underlying science is not new. Electrolysis, the process behind eWater Systems, has been known for over a century and has been developed and refined for various applications over the years. Learn more

  • eWater generators are based on well-established electrolysis technology used in various industries, including saltwater pools, water treatment, industrial cleaning, and food processing. Learn more
