Dibromodimethylhydantoin or DBDMH for short, is a white crystalline powder that is widely used as a disinfectant in water treatment. It can help kill dangerous bacteria and algae that can make water unsafe for drinking or swimming.
Dibromodimethylhydantoin is perhaps most widely used in water treatment plants, where it is added to water via dropper to sterilize the water of bacteria and other dangerous micro-organisms. It does a great job cleaning up our drinking water.
Dibromodimethylhydantoin is an extremely potent disinfecting material capable of destroying most unwanted bacteria and microorganisms. It is able to do so by liberating bromine.
Its atomic structure is unique making it the superior disinfectant. It can slowly moderate release bromine and it is good to keep water clean for longer time.
In addition to water treatment plants, Dibromodimethylhydantoin is also utilized in pool sanitizer systems. It helps a pool stay clean and clear by killing algae and bacteria, which can cause the water to become cloudy and unhealthy.
