Silver Stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide Water Treatment NZ
Silver stabilised hydrogen peroxide, for water you can trust.
Forsana's water treatment range uses enhanced and stabilised hydrogen peroxide to clear biofilm, algae and bacteria from tanks, pipework, pools and spas, without chlorine, taste or odour. Made in New Zealand.
What is stabilised hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is a naturally occurring oxidiser that breaks down into water and oxygen after use, leaving no chemical residue behind. On its own it degrades quickly. Forsana stabilises it with silver ions, which extends its active life in the system and gives ongoing protection against biofilm regrowth between treatments.
This is different from chlorine-based treatment, which can leave taste, odour and disinfection by-products in stored water. Stabilised hydrogen peroxide treats the water and the surfaces it touches (tank walls, pipework, fittings) without any of that.
How it works
- Oxidises organic matter, algae and bacterial contamination on contact
- Breaks down biofilm built up on tank walls, pipes, pumps and fittings
- Silver stabilisation keeps the peroxide active for longer and slows biofilm's return
- Breaks down clean into oxygen and water, no residue, no taste
Where it's used
- Rural and lifestyle block water tanks
- Marine and campervan/RV fresh-water systems
- Swimming pools, spas and cold plunges
- Small private water supplies

Frequently asked questions
What is silver stabilised hydrogen peroxide used for?
It's used to treat stored water systems such as rainwater tanks, pools, spas and marine or RV fresh-water tanks. It oxidises bacteria, algae and organic matter, and breaks down biofilm on tank walls and pipework.
Is stabilised hydrogen peroxide safe for drinking water tanks?
Yes, when dosed at the recommended rate for your tank size. It breaks down into oxygen and water, leaving no chemical residue or taste behind.
How is it different from chlorine treatment?
It doesn't leave taste, odour or disinfection by-products in the water. The silver stabilisation also gives longer-lasting protection against biofilm regrowth than a straight chlorine shock treatment.
Can it be used in swimming pools and spas?
Yes, Forsana's water treatment range covers pool and spa dosing as well as tank treatment, with separate dose rates for each.
Does it work on biofilm that's already built up?
Yes, it's formulated to break down existing biofilm on tank walls, pipes, pumps and fittings, not just prevent new growth.
Is it safe for plastic, stainless, aluminium and fibreglass tanks?
Yes, it's compatible with common tank materials and safe on pumps, filters and fittings when used at the recommended dose.
