What is CDL and how is it used for drinking water disinfection?

CDL stands for Chlorine Dioxide Solution and describes an aqueous compound of chlorine and oxygen with a concentration of 0.3 percent. According to the German Drinking Water Ordinance § 11, chlorine dioxide is approved as a disinfectant for drinking water and is one of the most frequently used substances there. If you decide to buy CDL, you will receive a ready-to-use solution that you can easily add directly to the water to be cleaned. A crucial advantage: After a successful reaction, the active ingredient merely breaks down into minute amounts of oxygen, water, and table salt. This makes it ideal for use at home, camping, or in emergency preparedness.

Chlorine Dioxide Variants Compared – Which CDL to Buy?

Life Solution offers ready-to-use CDL in two production variants, which differ in purity and process. The distilled CDL is produced using a technologically sophisticated process. Here, pure gas is introduced into chilled water, completely isolating potentially disruptive by-products of the initial reaction. The result is a crystal-clear, high-purity solution with a mild odor and taste. In contrast, our standard CDL is produced using the classic oxidation process, which allows for an extremely precise concentration of exactly 0.299%. Both variants guarantee maximum effectiveness in combating germs in drinking water systems. On our CDL comparison page, you will find a detailed comparison of all variants, so you can buy the CDL that suits your situation.

Our eXtra and DUO – Buy CDL for Prevention and Self-Production

For users who do not want to use CDL immediately, but are planning for long-term crisis preparedness or outdoor adventures, our CDL eXtra is the ideal solution. In its unactivated state, this product remains stable for three to four years at room temperature. Only when needed is it activated by the enclosed powder, creating a fresh 0.3 percent solution within a very short time. Those who want to buy the classic form of CDL or make a chlorine dioxide solution themselves will find the right solution with the Life Solution DUO. With this set, chlorine dioxide can be produced in portions within 60 seconds by simply mixing 25% sodium chlorite and 4% hydrochloric acid in a 1:1 ratio. Since 25% sodium chlorite reacts with glass, the Duo Set is consistently filled in chemical-resistant LDPE bottles, which are specially designed for the safe handling of these substances. This protects the sensitive content and chemical stability.

Every batch tested – Quality you can trace

If you purchase CDL from Life Solution, you receive a product whose quality is batch-accurately documented. Throughout the entire production process, the chlorine dioxide content is continuously monitored, and the manufacturing process is controlled to ensure consistently high values in the solution after bottling. The chlorine dioxide content of distilled CDL typically ranges between 2950 and 2999 ppm, while the conductivity, as a measure of freedom from by-products, is generally between a low 80 and 90 µS. For comparison: German drinking water usually ranges between 100 and 300 µS. The lower the value, the better. Those who prioritize comprehensive quality documentation when buying CDL will find exactly that with Life Solution's distilled CDL. The measurement results for each batch are published, and in addition, the product is independently tested at regular intervals. This level of transparency is rarely found in the European market for chlorine dioxide solutions.

Storage and Shelf Life – What You Should Know Before Buying CDL

If you want to buy chlorine dioxide and use it long-term, you should be aware of some important storage instructions. Standard CDL and distilled CDL can be stored for about six to nine months if stored correctly. We recommend storing it in the refrigerator at a maximum of eight degrees Celsius, in a dark, dry place, and upright. Cold is crucial to keep the gas concentration in the water stable. A loss of quality is usually indicated by a fading of the characteristic yellow color. If you are looking for a long-term solution, you should opt for CDL eXtra, which can be stored for years without refrigeration. Whether for a one-time water purification or regular use for drinking water disinfection - the correct CDL application becomes child's play with our enclosed information. We support you in safely utilizing the full potential of our products. By choosing the right storage location, you ensure that your supply is always ready for use.

Frequently Asked Questions – Buying, Using, and Storing CDL

What does CDL mean?

CDL is the abbreviation for chlorine dioxide solution. It is an aqueous solution with a chlorine dioxide content of 0.3 percent. Chlorine dioxide is a chlorine-oxygen compound approved for drinking water disinfection under the German Drinking Water Ordinance, and after reaction, it breaks down into oxygen, table salt, and water.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen CDL und CDS?

Both terms describe a chlorine dioxide solution in water. CDS stands for Chlorine Dioxide Solution, CDL for the German term Chlordioxidlösung. In terms of concentration and application for drinking water disinfection, it is the same product; only the name differs.

Welche Variante sollte ich als CDL kaufen?

We offer you various versions, each with its own advantages. The distillate is characterized by particularly high purity, the standard CDL by a very precise concentration of 0.299 percent. CDL eXtra is designed for long shelf life, while DUO enables spontaneous self-production. A detailed overview is provided by the CDL Product Comparison on the website.

Is Life Solution's CDL an approved product?

Ja. Wer CDL kaufen möchte, erhält bei Life Solution ein registriertes Biozidprodukt nach offiziell zulässigem Verfahren. Chlordioxid ist nach der deutschen Trinkwasserverordnung Paragraf 11 als Desinfektionsmittel für Trinkwasser anerkannt.

Wie sieht die optimale CDL-Dosierung aus?

The exact dosage may depend on water quality, degree of contamination, and area of application. Often, just 4 drops per liter of water are sufficient.
Thanks to the enclosed scaled pipette, however, the application for drinking water disinfection is child's play and precisely executable for every user.
The duo set is already equipped with a dropper mechanism, so no pipette is needed.

The exact application is simply described in the enclosed product description.

How safe is CDL when used?

The effect is based on the natural oxidation process, which reliably kills germs.
Harmful microorganisms are destroyed so quickly that it
is not possible for their cells to develop resistance to chlorine dioxide.
CDL is significantly more effective than H2O2 & chlorine.

Is CDL safe?

Chlorine dioxide has been investigated in scientific studies

CDL is a chlorine-oxygen compound where no toxic compounds can be formed during its application.
After the reaction, it decomposes into oxygen, table salt, and water.
Its safety in drinking water has been proven in several studies. For example,
in a highly published placebo-controlled double-blind study at
the University of Ihio, USA.

Furthermore, it is an officially approved substance in Germany for the treatment of drinking water.

More detailed information on safety/studies can be found here: Chlorine Dioxide Studies.

How long is CDL good for?

Standard and distilled CDL can be stored for about 9 months if kept properly. If you want to buy CDL with a longer shelf life, choose CDL eXtra, which can be stored unactivated for at least three to four years at room temperature. The Duo also has a shelf life of 2 years.

Ab welcher Menge lohnt es sich, CDL zu kaufen?

In unserem Sortiment finden Sie CDL ab 50 ml als Einzelflasche sowie in Mehrfachsets. Wer regelmäßig CDL kauft, profitiert außerdem ab einem Bestellwert von 59 Euro von kostenlosem Versand innerhalb Deutschlands.
