What is Chlorine Disinfection?

CHLORINE DISINFECTION

Chlorine deactivates microorganisms through several mechanisms that can destroy most biological contaminants, including:

• Damaging the cell wall 
• Altering the permeability of the cell (the ability to pass water in and out through the cell wall) • Altering the cell protoplasm
• Inhibiting the enzyme activity of the cell so it is unable to use its food to produce energy
