Background
A large hospital in North, reliant on groundwater from a self-supplied borehole system, was facing rising maintenance costs from its ageing chlorine dioxide disinfection setup.With long-term value, safety, and sustainability in focus, the facilities team looked to upgrade, choosing Genox as the smarter, future-ready solution.
The Challenge
The existing system, while still operational, was nearing the end of its life. Increasing call-outs, chemical handling concerns, and higher running costs made it clear that a modern alternative was needed, one that would also align with NHS sustainability goals.
The Solution
Genox delivers secondary disinfection through on-site generation of a gentle yet effective disinfectant, using just salt, water, and electricity, with no need for plastic drums or hazardous chemicals.
After a seamless installation:
- 50% reduction in running costs
- ROI achieved in under 2 years
- No hazardous by-products or chemical storage
- Easy to operate, with safer maintenance procedures
- Supports the NHS’s net zero and sustainability targets
Value Added
Cost savings were a key driver but Genox also provided improved operational resilience, lower risk, and reduced environmental impact, making it an ideal fit for modern healthcare estates.
