Public Water Systems (PWSs) routinely use various forms of chlorine as the
disinfectant of choice for the treatment of drinking water. Chlorine is a popular choice
because it is a very effective disinfectant, it is inexpensive, and it is widely available in
various forms to suit the needs of nearly every utility. The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has evaluated various on-site chlorine generator systems that utilize the
electrolysis of salt brine to generate chlorine. Evaluations included the Cryptosporidium
parvum (C. parvum) oocysts inactivation, disinfection byproduct formation, and distribution
system impacts. Includes 8 references, tables.
