Hadex® drinking water disinfectant for the maritime and offshore markets, designed to ensure the safety of your drinking water! It helps maintain the health of your crew.

Water, essential for life

The importance of water to life is self-evident. However, water is also one of the major sources of infection, and the cause of many forms of illness. Bacteria, algae, and other micro-organisms can grow extremely quickly in water, and just like food, water deteriorates. The safety of drinking water aboard ships and rigs cannot be taken for granted. Drinking water treated with Hadex® remains fit for consumption.

Hadex® starts disinfecting immediately, and the water is ready for consumption after a short period of only 30 minutes when applying normal dosing.

Water Quality

Hatenboer-Water recommends that the water be tested periodically for bacteriological quality, especially in the case of new installations or when repairs have been carried out. Hatenboer-Water can arrange worldwide sampling, analysis and reporting, which is carried out according to official standards.

Highest standards

Hadex® treatment is based on the proven and tested use of free chlorine in the preparation and final treatment of drinking water. Hadex® treatment combines this traditional practice with a number of important advantages, meeting the highest standards set for a drinking water disinfectant.
