Chemical-Free Cleaning Saves<br />
Water and the Environment<br />
Tennant Company, a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions<br />
that help create a cleaner, safer world, has developed a cleaning technology called<br />
ec-H2O TM that electrically converts tap water to make it behave like a powerful detergent.<br />
Using this technology, organizations can clean their facilities with the same cleaning effectiveness<br />
as general purpose cleaners, without the environmental or health impacts of producing,<br />
packaging, transporting, using, and disposing of traditional chemicals.<br />
Uses 70 percent less<br />
water than traditional<br />
cleaning methods<br />
Approximately 130,000 new floor scrubbing machines are sold annually, which consume<br />
nearly 1.35 billion liters of water per year. If all new scrubbers sold were equipped with ec-H2O<br />
technology, global water usage would be reduced by approximately 950 million liters annually.<br />
How it works:<br />
Plain tap water is<br />
poured into the<br />
cleaning machine.<br />
Water is infused with<br />
oxygen bubbles to create<br />
highly oxygenated water.<br />
