They referred, instead, to its use in a closed hot water system at elevated temperatures and did not actually say what level they believed corrosive behavior would begin. We suspect they did not mention a specific level because every closed hot water has its own set of idiosyncrasies which demands a unique water and sanitizer/disinfectant ratio. On another note, we thank you for your contribution to this topic and agree that ClO2 works very well for drinking water applications. - WaterTestingBlog.Com Chris,

Where did you get your information about Chlorine Dioxide being corrosive to plumbing infrastructure? This is completely false at the EPA max 0.8 ppm, chlorine dioxide is NOT corrosive. This is one of the reasons that it is being widely used vs. chlorine disinfection techniques simply due to its low corrosivity aspect. You should post accurate information. Submitted by “Chris”…
