A leader in the elimination of health-threatening pathogens, has affiliated itself with Plumbing Solutions, who will now be the exclusive distributor of ByoPlanet products and services in the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Antigua, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, Jamaica, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, St. Lucia, and St. Maarten.
The ByoPlanet antimicrobial process is highly effective in the elimination of harmful bacteria and viruses such as MRSA, Norovirus, E. coli, H1N1, Salmonella enterica, HIV, Staphylococcus aureus, Legionella pneumophilia, Hepatitis B&C, Aspergillus niger, and many more. ByoPlanet uses a patented electrostatic spraying system together with an earth-friendly hospital grade disinfectant to provide complete and cost effective coverage of sprayed areas. The mist produced by the electrostatic sprayers contains negatively-charged droplets with a diameter less than one-half the width of a human hair. These droplets are propelled through the sprayer’s nozzle and, using principles of physics follow electrical field lines, are attracted to surfaces with an unlike charge. This means droplets will reverse direction and even move upwards and around objects with a force of attraction 75 times that of gravity. This superior application system provides coverage of hidden surfaces that other systems miss. The ByoPlanet process is ideal for homes, schools, healthcare, cruise ships, long-term care facilities and any indoor environment that can host health-threatening pathogens.
Besides the elimination of viruses and bacteria, the ByoPlanet process is also effective in eliminating odors caused by fire, tobacco smoke, urine and mildew. Odors are destroyed on a molecular level through oxidation, rather than by the use of masking agents.
The active ingredient in the chemical applied by ByoPlanet is Chlorine Dioxide, which was used during the 2001 Anthrax attacks to decontaminate buildings and during the Hurricane Katrina cleanup to eliminate mold. The ecologically sensitive chemical is EPA approved with the lowest toxicity rating (Category IV) available for a disinfectant in the Ingestion, Dermal, and Inhalation categories.
“ByoPlanet is committed to finding and bringing to market innovative solutions that confront the microbial challenges faced in today’s society. The association with Plumbing Solutions, an industry leader in providing quality services and green solutions, is a natural fit for us as we expand the reach of our products” said Rick O’Shea, President of ByoPlanet International, LLC.
“We are extremely pleased to be affiliated with a company such as ByoPlanet which has such a highly effective and unique process that makes our indoor environments much safer” said Scott Fabres, Managing Director of Plumbing Solutions. “Besides being more effective than traditional application methods, companies will find the ByoPlanet process of disinfection to be faster and more cost effective as less chemical and labor is needed to treat an area” continued Fabres.

Plumbing Solutions is a member of the World Plumbing Council and we join all other members in celebrating World Plumbing Day on March 11, 2012. Plumbing Solutions plans to engage in a host of activities in observation of this day.
We believe that much of the vital work performed by those in the plumbing industry is unpublicized, and the profession is often misunderstood, and its contribution to our communities taken for granted. Recognizing March 11th as World Plumbing Day, Plumbing Solutions seeks to celebrate the plumbing industry’s contribution to health and safety through increased awareness of its efforts. Most people, our children included, think of plumbers as the guy you call when the toilet won’t flush or when the pipe under the sink springs a leak. However, it is only a small part of a plumber’s work.
Behind the scenes, plumbers are installing and maintaining the very infrastructure that supplies our homes and classrooms with fresh, clean drinking water and removes the waste in a safe, sanitary manner. They are developing and enforcing codes that describe the best ways to install plumbing systems. Plumbers are also making sure the products used with the water — pipes, faucets, drinking fountains, showers, tubs, swimming pools, etc., are safe and reliable.
Of course when there is a problem, plumbers are there to help; and not just the common household variety. Following catastrophic natural disasters such as the recent devastating tsunami in Japan, plumbers were counted on to get vital potable water transportation systems back online quickly to ensure that clean, uncompromised drinking water was available to citizens in the affected areas.
We urge readers to acknowledge that the days of taking plumbing for granted are over and the time has come to respect plumbing as an industry which is vital to global health. The safety and abundance of drinking water is, of course, a concern for most people, but what is not often emphasized is the work the plumbing industry contributes every day to alleviate these concerns. One of the goals of Plumbing Solutions is to help bring a better understanding of the largely misunderstood role that plumbers play in keeping our nation safe and healthy each and every day. We remain steadfast and committed to in our role towards the vital health of our nation.
