Iron Bacteria

"The oxidation/reduction potential (ORP) shift by a factor of -300mV or more for water filtered through redox media controls microorganism growth. Treating water reduces bacteria and other microorganisms by disrupting electron transport, causing cellular damage. KDF process media also kill bacteria by direct electrochemical contact and by the flash formation of hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide, both of which interfere with a microorganism's ability to function."

"This property earns redox the unique distinction of being effective on bacterial iron without the use of chlorine injection..."

I disagree with your assessment, (correct though it may be). The claim that Redox is "effective" without chlorine indicates (whether the writer intended it or not) that Redox, with sufficient oxygen present will elliminate IRB, not simply resist colonization.

This further indicates a potentialy efficacious electrical treatment by simply passing a current through the water.
