NEW RESEARCH STUDY AGAIN CONFIRMS THE SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF ROX WATER Recently, a significant new study assessed and summarised existing research into the commercial use of electrolyzed water, further confirming its safety and efficacy. Titled "Application of Electrolyzed Water in the Food Industry," this study was conducted by a group of highly regarded food science experts in the U.S. and Taiwan . It concludes: "Electrolyzed water has the following advantages over other traditional cleaning agents: effective disinfection, easy operation, relatively inexpensive, and environmentally friendly. The main advantage of EO water is its safety. EO water, which is also a strong acid, is different to hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid in that it is not corrosive to skin, mucous membrane, or organic material." http://www.ewatersystems.com.au/e-water/media/summary-of-research.pdf

ROX WATER APPROVED TO REMOVE BACTERIA AND OTHER PATHOGENS FROM FRESH FOODS ROX Water is systematically being evaluated by health departments throughout Australia . Authorities in Victoria , NSW, South Australia , and Queensland have already accepted ROX Water as a highly effective alternative to chemical sanitizing. They note in particular that chemical-free ROX Water is the ideal method for removing bacteria, micro-organisms, and pathogens from fresh fruits, vegetables, and salads, without the potentially dangerous side effects of chlorine-based chemical sanitizers. This is especially relevant in critical care sites, such as hospitals and aged care facilities.

eWATER SETS SIX-STAR STANDARD IN CLEAN Opening for business in July, 2009, the six-star Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre sets a new standard for food preparation in Australia with a new standard in cleaning and sanitizing through a ROX 15 System. The ROX 15 600-litre tanks deliver ROX Water throughout the massive kitchen for crystal-clean, residue-free stainless surfaces and equipment. It also healthfully and safely sanitizes fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish. MCEC Sous Chef David Carnovale says,"eWater is the way of the future for all commercial kitchens. It helps cut the cost of expensive chemicals and is simple to use and highly effective"

SCOTCHMANS CREEK TAPS eWATER Scotchmans Creek, a state-of-the-art, 130-bed aged care facility in Mount Waverley , Victoria , has taken steps to further encourage the health of its residents and clean more effectively at the same time with our ROX 20 system. Installed throughout the facility, the ROX 20's 200-litre tanks supply a natural and powerful alternative to harsh, chlorine-filled cleansing solutions. "The ROX system has proven to be an excellent choice, especially for cleaning and sanitizing in kitchens and all wet areas", owner Rick Thomas says. "It saves substantial chemical costs, is easy for staff to use, and is ideal for us as an environmentally conscious organization".

GRAND HOTEL HOSTS ROX 10 Melbourne's Grand Hotel, part of the Erdi Group and affiliated with Accor Hotels, relies on our ROX 10 System for eco-friendly, visitor-approved housekeeping. Following a successful trial late in 2008, ROX Water is now employed throughout the hotel. Says General Manager Paul McConville, "The water-based cleaning application is reducing our chemical costs significantly and has been received well by HSK staff and guests alike." http://www.grandhotelmelbourne.com.au/

ROX WATER CUSTOMERS GET A BREAK FROM GOVERNMENT - NEW INVESTMENT ALLOWANCE MEANS ADDITIONAL 50% SAVINGS There has never been a better time to invest in a ROX Water system. As announced in the May Federal Budget, businesses that choose ROX are now entitled to a 50% investment allowance. This represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a healthful alternative to costly and harmful chemicals. While ROX Water systems typically pay for themselves in well under three years, the new investment allowances can cut that already short time in half, this break can reduce payback periods to less 18 months. That's some opportunity.
