low pH bathroom faucet water
Low pH yet mild water is a mild antibacterial. Low pH water can be produced with electrolysis, so faucets could be electrified to produce water that is say, 10x better at being antibacterial | |
The talk of being conservative with antibacterials at bathroom handwashing made me think, well, wouldn't that objection go with regular soap? So pH modified faucet water is even milder than soap, yet antibacterial. Sanitation has saved lots of lives so this could be a mild extension of that.

How low are we talking here? Battery acid? |

[beanaangel] Can't you live with your microbial husbandry or are you predicting a coming event? Where do you work? Not a lab, I hope. |

Great idea, although it's possible that regular washing with
very low pH water might not be suitable for people with
sensitive skin - or any skin, in fact |

Vinegar is indeed an effective biocide, but it doesn't kill all bacteria and viruses ... chlorine is much better at that. |

Tap water, [IT]. He only speaks a form of american (pidgin) English ... more deserving of pity than condemnation... |

I recently visited quite a large city in eastern Europe, which built its old town 200 metres from the foot of their large and active hilltop cemetery. With EU funds (150 million euro plus), they recently had to update their public water system, but I still contend, like the Romans, who had a law against it, that you don't mix cemetries on hills and city centres. |

The little link shows a WHO test procedure for testing elimination efficacy re viruses which get through pipe seals. Turns out that anything less than 99% is unacceptable, which is like saying that eating raw chlorine is delicious. |

[+] although somehow the idea of electrified faucets sounds
like a not so
good idea. |
