JC 9465: A Powerful Algaecide and Biocide

Jenfitch's EPA-registered product JC 9465 is an algaecide and biocide that can help improve water quality in countless applications. By eliminating algae and biofilm, it addresses two of the most persistent challenges in water treatment.

The ORP standard for safe water

The World Health Organization advises that for water quality to be safe from all microorganisms, it must have an ORP above +700mV. Oxidation-reduction potential is a direct measure of a solution's disinfecting power, and reaching this threshold is the benchmark for microbiologically safe water.

Speed of disinfection

At an ORP above +700mV, JC 9465 achieves a 6-log removal in only 10 seconds. By comparison, chlorine requires over 30 minutes to achieve a 4-log removal.

Case studies

California water plant

An influent sample at a California water plant was treated at a 10 ppm dosage, demonstrating JC 9465's effectiveness on real-world source water.

Martinez, California potable water plant

At the Martinez, California potable water treatment plant, treatment with JC 9465 delivered a range of measurable benefits:

  • Improved filtered water turbidity
  • Lower chlorine consumption
  • Reduced THM formation
  • Longer filter run times
  • Lower treatment costs

Why it matters

By combining a high oxidation potential with rapid kill times, JC 9465 gives operators a way to control algae and biofilm while reducing chemical use and byproduct formation, improving both water quality and operating economics.
