# NanoFlashing™ Water | C-POLAR Source: https://cpolar.tech/water/ The NanoFlashing™ Water Filter attracts and captures PFOA, and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores. This is the text of that page, in a form a machine can read. Nothing in it is paraphrased or shortened. After it come short extracts from other C-POLAR pages, each quoted word for word with the page it comes from. --- [Skip to the content](#water) ## NanoFlashing™ Water Water treatment facilities add chlorine to kill pathogens, but there is a limit on how much of it you can safely drink. In an EPA study, researchers soaked the slime that grows inside building pipes in chlorine 12 times stronger than that limit. After an hour, the bacteria that cause Legionnaires' disease were [still alive and still growing](https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/technologies-legionella-control-premise-plumbing-systems). A 12-hour soak did clear the pipes, but the bacteria were back within a month. Ultraviolet light needs a lamp. Ozone needs a generator. Both run on electricity, and neither protects the water once it leaves the plant. Nothing warns you. The NanoFlashing™ Water Filter has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. The filter attracts and captures certain PFOAs, and studies show it destroys up to 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores through a physical mechanism, with no power and no chemicals.
