Safe, Compliant Disinfection Without Thermal Systems
In Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSDs) where thermal sanitisation equipment is not available or integrated into the reverse osmosis (RO) water loop, chemical sanitisation becomes essential to maintain microbiological control and protect the integrity of sterile processes.
Without routine disinfection, these systems are highly vulnerable to biofilm formation, bacterial growth, and pathogen proliferation—risks that can directly compromise sterilisation outcomes and regulatory compliance.
Why Chemical Sanitisation is Critical
CSSD RO water systems that lack thermal disinfection are at higher risk of contamination by bacteria. To mitigate this risk, Western Water Solutions implements structured chemical sanitisation programs that include:
- Disinfection of equipment, pipework, storage tanks, and distribution lines
- Biofilm removal from internal surfaces
- Regular microbiological sampling and reporting
- Ongoing residual monitoring and compliance tracking
These measures support full compliance with AS 5369:2023, ensuring water used in sterile processing meets the strictest healthcare standards.

Exclusive Access to SureClear SHP Technology
Western Water Solutions is the exclusive provider of SureClear—an advanced stabilised hydrogen peroxide (SHP) technology that delivers superior microbial control without damaging system infrastructure.
Key benefits of SureClear SHP include:
- Proven biofilm destruction and bacteria elimination
- Non-corrosive and material-safe, even for stainless steel systems
- WA Health approved for use in potable water systems
- Scientifically validated through NATA-accredited laboratory testing
Our partnership with SureClear gives clients access to a cutting-edge solution that sets a new standard in safe, effective chemical disinfection.
The Risk of Using Chlorine Based Products
Disinfectants like chlorine dioxide are not suitable for CSSD or RO water loop applications. Despite their antimicrobial properties, they are highly corrosive and pose a serious risk to:
- System pipework
- Valves and instrumentation
- Elastomeric seals and O-rings
There have been numerous documented cases of irreversible damage caused by chlorine dioxide—leading to costly equipment failures, downtime, and preventable infrastructure replacement.
By contrast, SureClear SHP is material-compatible, non-damaging, and highly effective—making it the ideal solution for critical water loops in sterile service environments.
