Hey all! Just browsing around headlines in my various news feeds when I came across this new method of generating hydrogen peroxide on-demand utilizing a catalyst made from gold and palladium which takes in hydrogen and oxygen to form the H202 ( more info here - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/07/210701112652.htm ) Now I'm familiar with the saltwater technology utilized by Hotspring spas and other brands. And it got me wondering, could this be a possible future for the luxury spa market? I'm envisioning a system similar to the Hotsprings Freshwater salt system with topside replaceable cartridges and a circulation pump to keep water flowing constantly however instead of generating chlorine from the saltwater, it would be generating a proper dosage of hydrogen peroxide. Obviously there are a ton of variables here, but could this be a theoretical future for maintaining water without the need for conventional chlorine or bromine? Or would there be byproducts of utilizing hydrogen peroxide to sanitize for prolonged periods of time? NOTE: I am not in any way advocating anyone start experimenting with dumping gallons of hydrogen peroxide to sanitize their spa like some strange snake-oil routine you found online. But I'm legitimately curious if a continuous-feed system could be utilized with hydrogen peroxide to keep the water sanitized in a spa.
